Ex-Real Madrid striker Owen: Big opportunity opening for Guler

Former Real Madrid striker Michael Owen says they must be patient with Arda Guler.

The young midfielder is being gradually introduced into the first team.

And Owen told AS: It's a balance when you're a youngster. You can play every week at a smaller team, or you can learn, train and play with great players [at a bigger club]. That's invaluable experience.

Modric and Kroos aren't going to last forever.

"There's going to be a real opportunity at Real Madrid for these young midfielders, there's a great chance for a long career there, for the right person."
