It was the chef’s surprise last night, in the hours before the derby between Leganés and Real Madrid. If the positioning of Kylian Mbappé on the left flank of the attack unsurprisingly ignited the debrief and debate broadcasts before and after the duel, the presence of Arda Güler also created a small shock wave. It must be said that it was his first start since September 14 and this match against Real Sociedad…
Since then, and even if Merengue fans have demanded more playing time for the little Turkish prodigy, Carlo Ancelotti has played very little, condemning him to have a fairly anecdotal role in the team. Since the start of October, he had only played 50 minutes in the Merengue tunic, only taking advantage of the international breaks with Turkey to be able to take advantage of the green rectangle. A difficult and difficult to understand situation; even more so when we see what he is capable of bringing to the Merengues…
A masterclass
Against Leganés, the former Fener was able to show the full extent of his talent. Inspired and enterprising with the ball, we saw him eliminate opponents with superb technical gestures, and the figures confirm his great performance. Comfortable on the right side, he constantly created danger, being the player who shot the most towards the rival goalkeeper’s cages (5 times), was the one who attempted the most crosses (4) , the second best dribbler behind Vinicius (4) and completed 23 passes in the final third of the field.
Clearly, he has demonstrated that he has the level to play an important role in this Real Madrid. Enough to put Carlo Ancelotti in difficulty, since starting places are expensive, both in the midfield and in more advanced positions. The trio Vinicius-Mbappé-Rodrygo (injured) is difficult to dislodge, but the temporary repositioning of Fede Valverde on the right side of the defense frees up a place in the middle. It remains to be seen whether, against Liverpool in a very important match, the Turk will have another opportunity to shine. Whatever happens, it will be increasingly difficult for Carlo Ancelotti to justify the little playing time he offers Güler if the latter continues on this path…
