National Team Supervisor Hamit Altıntop made flash statements to Relevo.
He answered questions from the Spanish press regarding his time at Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso, and our national player Arda Güler.
Stating that Xabi Alonso, with whom he played, is performing well, Hamit Altıntop said, "Xabi showed us what he was as a player; a great personality, a great footballer, but above all, an extraordinary intelligence. I wish him the best of luck. The performance he has shown as a coach is incredible, and I hope he can win a championship in the league or the cup with Bayer Leverkusen."
"HE WILL NOT CHANGE HIS DECISION"
Hamit Altıntop, who does not think Toni Kroos will return to the German National Team, said, "I'm not sure. I played with Toni Kroos, and if he said he would no longer play for Germany, he will not change his decision. I fear that I don't think he will ever play for Germany again."
Stating that he had a great time at Real Madrid, Hamit Altıntop said, "We won La Liga! Winning this championship is always very special, and I experienced it with great players like Xabi Alonso, Kaka, Cristiano, and Benzema. It was wonderful, also with Sergio Ramos and Casillas, and especially with the 'Special One' Jose Mourinho. Personally, I had some trouble because I had a serious back injury, and my comeback was not easy. Today, I am still in contact with Florentino Perez and José Angel Sanchez, and I am very grateful to them for everything," and concluded his sentences with these words:
"Personally, I am very satisfied with my performances and my career. But I hope Arda will perform better than me. We have Turkish players in Europe's best clubs for our national team. We should be happy about this and share our career experiences with those around us."
