"Always carry Galatasaray in my heart"

Manchester United pro Alex Telles gave “S Sport” an interview. The 28-year-old Brazilian recalled that Galatasaray was his first club in Europe and therefore holds a special place in his heart. First, the left-back was asked what the differences between the Super League and the Premier League see: “I came to Turkey very young and learned a lot here. It was a very tough and difficult league. I’m glad I played in the Turkish league. In the Premier League, of course, the game is played at a much faster pace. We all know what a high level this league is at. A league packed with top-class players. Understandably, this increases the speed of the game. The Turkish league is also a good quality league with many great players. I learned a lot there. “

Gained valuable experience in Turkey

His time at Galatasaray and Manchester United shaped him in particular: “When I came to Galatasaray I was 21. It was the first European club after I left Brazil. I was still very inexperienced and learned a lot there. Especially from our then trainer Roberto Mancini. I was a player who wanted to learn a lot. So from time to time there were decisions in the game that I didn’t think about much. I’m more experienced now. I’ve played a lot of games and make more prudent decisions in the games. Today I play better and smarter. I am very happy to be in Manchester. “

Telles pays tribute and thanks to Mancini and Galatasaray

Telles commented that his ex-coach Roberto Mancini won the European Championship with a young Italian team: “I have a lot of respect for him. He helped me a lot after I arrived in Europe. Working with him has made me a lot better as a player. I have a very good relationship with him. He’s a great trainer and a good friend at the same time. I’m very happy about his success. ”The defender from Caxias do Sul summed up his relationship with Galatasaray with the following words:“ I always have Galatasaray in my heart. I have friends who play in Turkey. And there are still close friends of mine at Galatasaray. Muslera and Dolmetscher Mert are very close friends. I keep talking to them a lot and watching the Galatasaray games. I owe a lot to the club. And I know that they still have a lot of affection for me there. As I said, Galatasaray is a very big club that I am very grateful to and whose games I continue to watch. “
