January Farewell and Signing: Florentino Confirms to Arda Güle
Florentino Pérez and the entire Real Madrid have great confidence in the young Turk.
It’s true that Arda Güler’s transfer hasn’t unfolded as expected initially, but one must consider the entire context of the operation and the loop the player has entered.
Joining Real Madrid isn’t easy because the pressure is entirely different from any other first division team. The Merengue club is the pinnacle for any footballer.
In Arda’s case, he arrived very young and didn’t yet possess the physical conditions needed to train and compete like his teammates, despite his technical quality being equal or superior to many.
The player came to Real Madrid with great enthusiasm because it was the best club in the world. Additionally, his signing was a media sensation as he had to reject Barcelona before joining the Merengue.
This “battle” generated excessive hype around the young player, who did demonstrate significant quality and potential but hadn’t achieved anything notable in football yet. Some quickly wanted to compare him to Lionel Messi.
After suffering an injury and undergoing surgery, a great burden was placed on him, and he began to sink gradually. Just as he was about to emerge from the slump, a muscle injury appeared, preventing his return, and this cycle continued until now, when he is fully recovered.
Arda Güler is completely recovered but is working very hard to strengthen and gain muscle mass. Additionally, he is focusing on the psychological aspect to make a comeback in the best possible way.
The Real Madrid medical team, Carlo Ancelotti, and the player are in constant contact, and his return will be decided by all three parties. If Arda doesn’t feel prepared for the next game, they will wait until he has positive sensations.
