On Monday, several FC Barcelona supporters targeted Arda Güler on social networks. Indeed, they made fun of the young Turk, who signed with the Merengues to organize barbecues with his teammates rather than playing. The Blaugrana fans obviously have a hard time with the 19-year-old footballer, who preferred to say no to the Culés to join the Madrid rival during the last summer transfer window. But everything did not go as planned for the former Fenerbahçe man. He quickly joined the Casa Blanca infirmary, since he suffered a series of physical problems between July and November.
He thus missed 106 days of competitions and 22 matches in all competitions according to the specialized site Transfermarkt. Which is not ideal for a young man who is discovering a new club, a new football and a new culture. Finally, we had to wait until January 6 to finally see it in action. It was during the Copa del Rey match against Arandina. Since then, he has appeared from time to time, having played a total of 7 matches in the Real Madrid jersey, including only one as a starter (112 minutes played this season). Regarding his statistics, he scored one goal.
Several club members don’t understand Ancelotti
It’s difficult to do much better for the Turk, who has to be content with crumbs. Especially since he has not played a single minute since March 16 and his entry into play against Osasuna. In the meantime, he participated in two matches with the Turkish selection. But at club level, Carlo Ancelotti does not use it. What some people don’t understand at the club. Relevo explains that within Casa Blanca, the Güler case is debated. There is tension in the air. “Part of the club does not understand the lack of opportunities”especially since he showed interesting things during his rare appearances, specifies the Iberian media.
Among the Turk’s supporters is Juni Calafat, Real Madrid’s talent scout. The latter, who believes a lot in Güler, does not understand why the Mister uses him so little. Other voices within the Madrid team have also risen and do not understand this situation, nor the position of the staff. But Ancelotti and his teams have a plan for the young recruit, whom they want to integrate smoothly while respecting the hierarchy already in place. He must therefore be patient, he who therefore has supporters within the management.
Arda Güler takes it upon himself
One of them told Relevo : “It’s a generational talent. We have no doubt about it.” However, the main person concerned may have doubts. Especially since the Merengues will still welcome other players during the summer transfer window and the competition will be even fiercer. A loan to gain experience and gain playing time cannot be ruled out. But Güler wants to continue in the Spanish capital, where Carlo Ancelotti has promised that he will have more playing time soon. The Mister also spoke of the young man, who visibly dragged his spleen after the victory in the Clasico.
Relevo specifies that he stood aside on Sunday when the team celebrated the success against the Blaugrana. Surely disappointed at not having been able to participate in the clash, the Turk, who has already had some gestures of frustration this season, must deal with it and try to get over it. Which is obviously not easy for a young person of his age, who is making efforts to combat his shyness and try to integrate into the Madrid group. This famous barbecue, organized at his home on Monday with players (Brahim, Valverde) and members of the staff (physiotherapists) shows his desire to be involved with Real Madrid on and off the field.
