Arda Güler's 'hush' gesture to Szoboszlai, and Szoboszlai's prompt response!

The Turkish National Football Team was the guest of Hungary in the second leg of the UEFA Nations League play-off round. In the first half of the match, Arda Güler's 'shush' gesture toward Dominik Szoboszlai caused quite a stir.

Arda Güler had a tense moment with Hungarian star player Dominik Szoboszlai following a play that occurred in the first half.

Scoring a magnificent goal in the 39th minute to make the score 2-0, Arda directed his goal celebration toward Szoboszlai by making a 'shush' gesture with his hand.

After the match, Arda Güler stated, "No Turkish player is afraid of such on-field physicality. As I said regarding Szoboszlai, they tried to intimidate us with on-field physicality, but a Turkish player is not afraid of that."

Dominik Szoboszlai, meanwhile, commented "1088" after the match on a post by a Hungarian news site that shared a photo of Arda Güler making the 'shush' gesture.

WHAT DOES "1088" MEAN?

Arda, who has not found much playing time at Real Madrid recently, had managed to play a total of 1088 minutes for his team this season.

With this comment, the Hungarian footballer made an indirect jab at Arda's limited playing time.
