The Spaniards explained Arda Güler's issue.

The 11th week of La Liga will feature El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona. As the big match approaches on Saturday, October 26 (tomorrow), all eyes are on our national star Arda Güler, while the sports press in Madrid evaluated the current situation of the 19-year-old young footballer.

"WE ARE NOT SEEING HIS GOALS THIS SEASON"

Cadena Ser Radio Sports Reporter Javier Herraez stated, "He is a very talented footballer, and we all want to see Arda Güler more in the game. It is certain that he played well in the matches he got minutes, but we are not seeing his goals from last season's finishing this season."

Emphasizing that Arda Güler is a "player who can play in every position in midfield and forward," Herraez commented, "I would like to see Arda in the starting 11 for El Clasico, but I think Real Madrid will try to field a team that runs much more in this El Clasico. The competition is very high. He may come into the game in the second half."

"HE NEEDS TIME"

Journalist Melchor Ruiz, who is watching Real Madrid for Cope Radio, also said, "Arda started this season with very little playing time, just like last season. It is seen that he has physically improved, and there is nothing to say about his quality as a player. But he is a kid who needs to be comfortable and act very patiently. We know he is a very important player for the national team in Turkey. We expect the same from him at Real Madrid. But he needs time."

Ruiz emphasized that there are "much more experienced players" than Arda Güler in the Real Madrid squad and said:

"I am sure he will get more playing time this season, but it is very important for him to be patient. I don't think Arda will start in the starting 11 for El Clasico. However, depending on the course of the match, it is likely that he will come into the game later. Barcelona is playing excellent football this season, they have a lot of physical strength and they are fast. I think Ancelotti will return to 4-4-2. Not Arda, but Modric, Camavinga, and Tchouameni will be the doubts in Ancelotti's mind for the starting 11."

"ANCELOTTI DOES NOT SEE HIM READY"

On the other hand, Filippo Maria Ricci, the Madrid representative of Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport, also stated, "Last year was his first season, he had injuries and finally made a good finish in terms of adaptation. Then he also stood out with the national team in the European Championship. Therefore, more was expected from him at Real Madrid this season, but it did not happen. I expected him to be a more prominent actor on the field, but he got little playing time."

Ricci, who said, "There is time for Arda to develop," added, "His biggest deficiency is getting little playing time. I don't know why he is not playing. Even though I am not in the team, we know there is a very big competition. But it seems that Ancelotti does not see him ready for this competition yet. He needs to play more to show himself."

"NOT ENOUGH FOR THE STARTING 11 IN EL CLASICO"

Ricci suggested that Arda is not yet sufficient to wear the jersey in the starting 11 for El Clasico, stating, "In the forward position, Vinicius, Bellingham, and Mbappe will not change. Modric, Camavinga, and Tchouameni are the preferences ahead of Arda. Unfortunately, there are few opportunities to play in the starting 11. If there is a surprise, it would be nice for both Arda and Turkey. The problem for Arda is not playing in the starting 11 for El Clasico, but getting more playing time in matches."

ARDA'S SEASON PERFORMANCE

In the 10 weeks of La Liga so far, Arda Güler has played in 7 matches, 3 of which were in the starting 11, totaling 250 minutes. According to statistics, Arda has taken 4 shots on goal in the matches he played in the league but has not scored, and he has also received a yellow card once.
