Real Madrid is facing a very uncertain start to the season, with reports from within the squad indicating to coach Carlo Ancelotti that one player is not being fully utilized, despite receiving minutes.
Wednesday’s defeat to Lille in the Champions League has only heightened the uncertainty for a team that is not functioning at full capacity.
Real Madrid was very slow in their visit to France, unable to establish themselves throughout the match.
Although Ancelotti’s team did not suffer greatly, their poor performance on the pitch clearly had an impact.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, the Italian coaching staff has analyzed what happened in the early matches of the season, and the results are concerning, particularly for Arda Güler, who was one of the players displaying the most desire and character in the last Champions League match.
Davide Ancelotti, who plays an important role in the coaching staff, strongly believes that the Turkish player should receive more playing time. His father, Ancelotti, has the final say, but Davide has already conveyed to Carlo that the team needs Güler.
According to Davide, Arda’s presence in the team is essential, noting that the player’s number “deserves to play more” because he “changes the course of games.”
That is what Güler tried to demonstrate during his more than 20 minutes on the pitch at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy against Lille. Initially, the Turkish player was expected to start against Lille, but things ultimately changed.
