Ancelotti Goes for Güler After Instructing Warm-Up Without Playing: “Arda, It’s not t…”
Carlo Ancelotti closely monitored Arda Güler’s performance, even though the Turkish midfielder couldn’t make his debut at the Santiago Bernabéu. The Italian coach had a clear conversation with his player.
Real Madrid secured victory at the Santiago Bernabéu in a challenging match against Real Mallorca, with Antonio Rüdiger’s header sealing the win. However, one of Carlo Ancelotti’s major concerns was on the bench, and Arda Güler was at the center of attention.
During a specific moment in the game when the coaching staff began to order substitutions, the Turkish player, number 24, followed the usual routine of warming up alongside other players like Brahim Díaz and Joselu, who eventually participated in the clash against Mallorca.
Güler left the bench, went through the warm-up exercises, and returned to his seat on the home bench to have a conversation with Carlo Ancelotti. The Real Madrid coach was very clear about the decision he had made: “Today is not your day to debut, but it will come soon; you have warmed up at the Bernabéu, it’s just a matter of days.”
All in good time Ancelotti, even in the press conference, has advocated patience as the key to seeing Arda Güler don the Real Madrid shirt. The White’s coach pays close attention to the evolution of Arda Güler, who is still being handled with care, and there are still a few matchdays of muscle strengthening before his immediate integration into the demanding sporting pace that Real Madrid expects from all its players.
The moment for Arda Güler is still pending. The coaching staff is well aware of this, but the caution established from the beginning of the season due to his injuries means that Carlo Ancelotti still doesn’t ‘dare’ to give him minutes until he considers him 100% ready. Although Arda Güler has been medically cleared and included in the squad, the coaching staff believes his transition to full competitive readiness is taking longer than expected.
