Arda Güler became one of the standout names in Real Madrid's new season preparations. According to MARCA's report, the national footballer stood out as one of the best and most consistent players during the camp period, while also successfully carrying out the number 10 role given to him by Jose Mourinho.
The new season in Spain's LaLiga began with the matches played last week. The first matches of Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, and Real Madrid were postponed because a significant portion of the players they sent to the World Cup advanced to the later rounds of the tournament.
Real Madrid, continuing their preparations, will play their first league match of the new season this weekend. The Spanish giant will face Espanyol away and will aim to start the season with a victory.
ARDA GULER AMONG THE MOST CONSISTENT NAMES OF THE CAMP
Arda Guler, who became one of the important names of Real Madrid with his performance last season, also holds an important place in Jose Mourinho's plans for the new season. According to the news from the Spanish press, MARCA, the national footballer stood out as one of the team's best and most consistent names with his performance in Real Madrid's new season preparations.
IT WAS STATED THAT HE EARNED A PLACE IN THE STARTING LINE-UP
It was reported that Jose Mourinho shaped part of the team strategy around Arda Guler in his second tenure at Real Madrid.
It was noted that the 21-year-old national footballer prepared very well for the camp and showed with his performance that he deserved to be in the starting line-up for the first league match of the new season.
"A REAL NUMBER 10 PERFORMANCE"
The news highlighted that Arda Guler had not played in the number 10 position at Real Madrid before Jose Mourinho. While it was stated that the Portuguese coach got the return for the new duty he gave to Arda, the following expressions were used for the national star: "He fulfilled the duty entrusted to him by Mourinho more than enough. For someone who has never played in the number 10 position at Real Madrid, he displayed a real number 10 performance."
After Arda Guler's performance during the preparation period, it became a matter of curiosity whether he would start in the starting line-up against Espanyol.
