Surprise at Valdebebas: Ancelotti Benches Arda Güler and Tells Him Before the Derby
Arda Güler has been training very well and is progressively getting into better shape. Carlo Ancelotti is considering him to provide opportunities in the upcoming matches, starting with the one against Atlético Madrid at the Metropolitano.
As per information from Defensa Central, Carlo Ancelotti aims to give playing time to Arda Güler, recognizing his hard work, providing rest to some players, and leveraging the Turkish player’s quality.
For this reason, Ancelotti had a serious conversation with the young footballer, explaining that he wants him to start getting minutes in significant matches. “There will be only one exception… If the match is going really badly, you won’t play… but under normal conditions, get ready, because I want you on the field,” Ancelotti told him yesterday.
Arda Güler played in the final minutes of extra time against Atlético Madrid in the Spanish Supercup, but tomorrow’s match will be an entirely different scenario. Being held at the Wanda, with a majority of Atlético Madrid fans eager for revenge, creates a challenging atmosphere.
Anticipation is high The 18-year-old player is eager to gain more prominence at Real Madrid. While he would have liked to play minutes in the Supercup final, he understands the intense competition within the club. He recognizes that he is in a developmental process and needs to progress cautiously.
Arda Güler must gradually build confidence and match rhythm, but he is expected to play a significant role in the team later this season, provided he maintains consistency and avoids injuries.
