Carlo Ancelotti Repeats Strategy Against Celta — He Tells Arda Güler: ‘You’re Going…’

Arda Güler likes and proves himself in his new position. He'll stay there permanently, including in the upcoming Clásico

In a Real Madrid full of injuries, Arda Güler has seized his opportunity and convinced a Carlo Ancelotti who is willing to give him more importance in the final stretch of the season. It is not an easy moment for the white team, eliminated from the Champions League and having lost the Copa del Rey final. We are in the final phase of La Liga and, in a vital match against Celta, the Italian coach has chosen to repeat his "experiment" with the Turk.

As he did in the Copa del Rey final, Arda Güler has occupied the position of midfielder in the center of the field. Leaving the attacking positions, the Turk has moved back to enter the creation of the game and be able to have more ball possession. He convinced against Barcelona and Carlo Ancelotti has done the same again in La Liga against Celta. Despite the few opportunities he has had, Güler has always done well and deserves more.

Speaking shortly before the match between Real Madrid and Celta, Carlo Ancelotti was very clear with Arda Güler. "You are going to play as a midfielder again, you have freedom." In this regard, he did not hold back, assuring him: "Do well and you will start next week against Barça."

Arda Güler is Already Untouchable in Real Madrid

Arda Güler has gone from being a promise to becoming a key piece of Real Madrid. The young Turkish talent has already played 37 matches this season, establishing himself as an indispensable footballer for the coaching staff. Although he started dazzling as a winger, his tactical evolution has led him to shine in the center of the field, where he comes into more contact with the ball, participates in the construction of the game, and feels more comfortable initiating plays from the back.

In Real Madrid, they see Güler as a project for the present and future. His technical ability, vision of the game, and maturity at just 20 years old have made him one of the most promising players in European soccer. His adaptation has been quick, and the club already considers him untouchable in the planning for the next season.

Florentino and the sports management are clear that Arda Güler will be one of the pillars of the new project, and any loan or departure is ruled out. In Valdebebas, they know they have a different player in their hands, destined to mark an era. The future of the midfield of Real Madrid lies in his boots, and his new role is here to stay.
