Arda Güler has been one of the few positives to take so far from what has not been an ideal start of the season for the Reigning champions. The merengues have now drawn two of their first three games and now seat 7 points behind Barca with a game in hand.
Indeed, Arda Güler has appeared in all three games so far this season. This comes as a big boost after an injury laden season.
Yet another start against Real Betis
When Arda joined Real Madrid last summer from fenerbahce, he suffered three serious injury on the bounce. This led to the young Turk missing out on the entirety of the season’s first half.
However, this season has been so much different for the youngstar. Having already featured in all three opening games, another start is on the horizon.
This is as per Spanish newspaper Relevo (via Madridxtra), suggesting Arda could be the attacking midfielder of the night.
When star man Jude Bellingham suffered an injury blow, there was a debate on his replacement. It was a tussle between Modrić, Brahim Diaz and Arda Güler.
Indeed, as things stand, Arda has enjoyed more play time compared to both. This goes a long way to prove the youngstars quality.
Carlo Ancelotti highly values Arda Güler
Carlo Ancelotti is one of those coaches out there who are known for their reluctancy to rotate his starting XI. Now as per Rodra P, the manager is considering making variations, giving more game time to the likes or Arda Güler and Brahim Diaz.
The manager has always had trust in the young Turk, even highlighting his abilities to play as an AM, claiming he could go on to become one of the very best if he ever plays as a Midfielder.
A Right-winger by trade, Güler has the sheer quality to influence the game from Midfield. His playmaking abilities are incredible and Carlo Ancelotti will be counting on that.
