WHO IS THE ARDA TURAN ?



Arda Turan born 30 January 1987 . He is a Turkish footballer who currently plays as a winger for Atlético Madrid in the Spanish La Liga and the Turkish national team. At the age of 22, prior to the 2009–10 season, he was made the captain of Galatasaray. He is mostly known for his ball control, dribbling skills, and vision.
Arda has 65 senior national caps and 13 goals for Turkey and following a successful UEFA Euro 2008 campaign, he was ranked eighth in a selection of the 100 Best Young Football Players in the World piece published by Spanish magazine Don Balón in July 2008. In January 2011, Arda was voted as the third most popular European footballer of 2009, as well as the 14th most popular footballer in the world, by theIFFHS.


Atlético Madrid

In the late hours of 9 August 2011, it was announced that Arda would be joining Atlético Madrid for a fee of €12 million plus bonuses,making him the most expensive Turkish footballer of all-time.
He was handed the number 11 shirt and made his 2011–12 debut on 28 August 2011 against CA Osasuna, coming on as a substitute in the 61st minute. He made his UEFA Europa League debut on 15 September against Celtic, starting the game and assisting a goal scored by midfielder Diego. On 18 September, Arda was again selected for the starting XI and notched two assists, one for forward Falcao and the other for Adrián. On 25 October, Galatasaray president Ünal Aysal stated that Arda will come back to Galatasaray in the future underright of first refusal that was signed between Galatasaray and Atlético during an interview with Lig TV. On 30 November, Arda scored his first goal for Atlético in a Europa League game against Celtic with a powerful volley from just outside the box. On 11 December, Arda scored his first league goal with a driven volley[citation needed]just outside the box. In the Europa League game that followed, Arda netted again in a 3–1 win against Rennes.
Arda scored two goals in two minutes as Atlético defeated RCD Espanyol 3–1 on 22 April 2012 to move his side into seventh place and just three points behind Málaga CF for the final Champions League spot.[12] On 9 May, in the 2012 UEFA Europa League Final against Athletic Bilbao, he made an assist to his teammate Radamel Falcao, which made the match 2–0.
Arda's number was changed from 11 to 10 before the 2012–13 season. He began his season with a game-tying long, long-distance screamer in Atlético 1–1 opener against Levante UD. He then won the 2012 UEFA Super Cup with Atlético against Champions League victors Chelsea, assisting Falcao for the third goal of the game in a 4–1 victory.[13] On 16 September 2012, Arda scored the third goal of the game against Rayo Vallecano in a 4–3 home win. He was instrumental in Atlético's wins in their first two Champions League matches against Zenit and Porto, scoring a goal in each match.[14]

International career

Arda is a Turkish international regular, having made over 50 appearances for Turkey at senior level. He made his debut in the 1–0 friendly victory over Luxembourg on 16 August 2006, having worked his way through the youth national team at the under-19 and under-21 levels. He scored his first international goal on 25 May 2008 in a friendly against Uruguay. Arda featured in nine of Turkey's 12 qualification matches for Euro 2008, and starred in the finals of the tournament itself. He scored two goals during Turkey's progression to the semi-finals. The first was a 92nd minute winner against co-hosts Switzerland in their second group game to knock them out of the competition. His second came in the final group game against the Czech Republic, in which the winner would go through to the quarter-finals due to identical records. He scored Turkey's first goal in the 75th minute, beating Petr Čech with a low shot, which lead to Turkey coming from 2–0 down to win the match. He also successfully converted a spot-kick in the penalty shootout against Croatia in the quarter-finals, taking Turkey to the semi-finals, where they were eventually knocked out by losing finalists Germany. Arda scored two goals during the qualification rounds of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, but ultimately Turkey failed to qualify from their group. After a qualifier in September 2008 between Armenia and Turkey – the two sides having historical political problems — both teams received a FIFA Fair Play Award for 2008.[15] He scored the Turkish national team's 600th international goal in a 2010 World Cup qualification game against Estonia on 5 September 2009.[16] Arda scored four goals for Turkey during the qualification rounds of the UEFA Euro 2012 — two against Kazakhstan, one against Belgium, and one against Austria. Turkey, however, could not qualify for the final stages of Euro 2012 after being eliminated by Croatia in the play-offs.
