Our national football player Arda Güler, who plays for Real Madrid, has not had any playing time for 5 matches. Carlo Ancelotti, the head coach of the Spanish giant, who is under fire regarding Arda, explained why he has not given the 19-year-old young star a chance to play.
"ARDA NEEDS TIME"
Real Madrid will face Real Sociedad away in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals. Before the match, head coach Carlo Ancelotti answered questions and spoke about Arda Güler. Ancelotti stated that Arda Güler, who has not played in 5 matches since the match against Leganes on February 5, needs time. The Italian coach said, "This is a process for him and all young players. The same happened with Rodrygo, Valverde, and Vinicius. There is no such thing as the Arda Güler case. He needs time to be part of one of the best teams in the world, and everyone understands this; those who do not understand must do so," he expressed.
"THERE IS A LACK OF COMMUNICATION"
Ancelotti, who stated that he talks to young players in the team like Arda and Endrick every day, mentioned that it is normal for their psychology to change from time to time. He said, "I want to see the player happy when he plays. It is normal for them to want to play, and those who want to play should work and learn. But I spend a short time with him (Arda Güler). I am with others for a longer time. And I do not know if they agree with me. I do not know if they share the same views with me for him to play, to be ready, to work. This is a lack of communication," he argued.
HE HAD PREVIOUSLY SAID "GOOD AND READY TO PLAY"
After the LaLiga match against Girona, in response to a question from a Spanish journalist about Arda, who has not had playing time in recent weeks, asking "What is the Turkish player’s situation, does he have a physical problem, why is he not playing?" the Italian coach had replied, "Good and ready to play."
ARDA'S SEASON PERFORMANCE
Arda Güler has played in 27 matches across all competitions this season with Real Madrid and has spent 967 minutes on the field. Arda has scored 3 goals and provided 5 assists in these matches. The 19-year-old national player, whose current market value is shown as 45 million euros, has a contract with the Spanish giant until 2029.
