Little used over the last two seasons under Carlo Ancelotti, Arda Güler has been reborn since the arrival of Xabi Alonso on the Real Madrid bench last summer. This development is reflected in the performances of the Turkish attacking midfielder. This Sunday, during the success against Getafe (1-0) in La Liga, he distinguished himself by delivering an assist to Kylian Mbappé, the only scorer of the match.
While his tandem with the captain of the Blues does not escape observersthe former Fenerbahçe nugget is even compared to former Casa Blanca players, and not the least. The number 15 is considered to be the successor to his compatriot Mesut Özil and Guti Hernández, an idea that does not displease his coach.
Xabi Alonso validates the comparison
“Not only for its origins, but also for its quality, yes. It's a mix between Özil and Guti, as Guti could also be in the build-up while making that final pass. The more we find Arda, the better off we are. We have to keep pushing him to improve his game, but I'm happy.”Xabi Alonso told the media.
