An unrelenting storm of injuries has marred Arda Guler’s season, making it difficult for the Turkish wonder to get settled into the team and culture straight away.
Rather than establishing a steady place in the starting lineup, Guler has only been able to log inconsistent minutes on the field since making his debut against Arandina in January.
Naturally, his absence in the first half of the season has primarily resulted in a lesser part in Carlo Ancelotti’s system.
However, Guler is steadily coming into his own and working to win Ancelotti’s trust once and for all, having left those physical issues behind him.
Guler putting forth the effort
Jorge Picon reports that Arda Guler is working hard, beginning with the physical aspect, to earn Carlo Ancelotti’s trust before the season ends.
According to the story, they are “amazed” by the Turk’s physical metamorphosis in Valdebebas—a change the coach had asked for on several occasions.
“He is now extremely powerful. From the locker room, they remark, “It’s impressive to see him without a shirt.”
In addition to working from home, Guler also works out daily, suggesting that his dedication goes beyond the training ground.
Guler, who has scored his first goal for the Merengues against Celta Vigo last month, is eager to get more playing time because he understands the value of putting in a constant effort.
Liga teams are observing Guler.
Guler could leave on loan this summer, even though Ancelotti has repeatedly stated that he believes in the 19-year-old and sees him as a long-term project.
Reportedly, Real Sociedad in particular is hoping to sign him on loan for the summer.
Should minutes keep coming in spurts and new players intensify the battle within the team, Guler might think about honing his skills while on loan.
