Nuri Sahin: New Real Madrid player

Turkish midfielder Nuri Sahin, signing of Real Madrid for next season, says that playingin the white team is the greatest thing that can reach a football player: "Real Madrid is the greatest thing you can achieve as a player. It is a myth. Everybody wants to go there but not everyone can play there" Sahin says in an article published today in the magazine 'Kicker' that is part of a series where the player resumes the season in which Borussia Dortmund has won the League title.

Sahin says that did not address Real Madrid's offer until the title was secured and accepts that the decision was not easy for him by all what Borussia Dortmund means in his life: "I do not want to be disrespectful, but there are not many clubs that would have been tempted me. Borussia means too much for me", Sahin says. The offer of Madrid, however, led him to think because of what the white team represents and, after talking to JoseMourinho, took the decision to move to Real Madrid.

Sahin also defends the current style of Real Madrid and says he does not understand the criticism that the team is receiving: "The past weekend, I watched the 6-2 against Sevilla on television, was a very attractive football. Real Madrid scores a lot of goals, and in fact there is nothing more attractive than the goal", comments Sahin.

Sahin acknowledges that, due to the presence of Xabi Alonso, Sami Khedira and Lass Diarra, will be hard to play on the team and there will be a hard fight for the starter place, but adds he hopes to win the "job": "In other top European clubs, the competition has not been less harsh. Besides, I'm going to Spain full of confidence. I think I have the potential to play as starter in Madrid. I will try to earn a spot on the team, although in Real Madrid wait me the hardest fight of the world".
