Real Madrid midfielder Arda Guler has revealed the role of boss Carlo Ancelotti in his arrival at the club. The Turkey international moved from Fenerbahce to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2023.
Touted as one of the most promising young players in the game, Guler endured an injury-plagued debut campaign in the Spanish capital. However, he has found more game time in his sophomore season.
Having made 51 appearances across competitions across two seasons, Guler has contributed 11 goals and nine assists. Five of those goals and all nine assists – in 38 outings across competitions – have come this season.
Shedding light on Ancelotti’s role in his Madrid arrival, Guler told the Player’s Tribune (via GOAL):
Detailing his conversation with Ancelotti, the 20-year-old said:
Guler concluded:
Arda Guler has both scored and assisted in two different competitions this season – La Liga and Copa del Rey.
Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti foresees a bright future for midfielder Arda Guler, acknowledging the youngster’s growth and potential. The Turk provided an assist in the 3-2 extra-time loss to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final last month.
Guler is in line to start the upcoming top-of-the-table La Liga clash at Barca on Sunday (May 11). Ahead of the crucial clash at the weekend, Ancelotti said about Guler (via Managing Madrid):
Los Blancos trail the league leaders by four points with as many games remaining as they hope to successfully defend their title.
Bhargav supports Italy at national level, a team steeped in tradition and history according to him. He still harbors the heartbreak from the Azzurri’s 1994 FIFA World Cup final defeat against Brazil, and protagonist-turned-antagonist from the game, ‘Divine Ponytail’ Roberto Baggio is his all-time favorite player. His favorite manager is Marcelo Lippi, who ended Italy’s 24-year wait for the World Cup trophy, winning it in 2006.
Outside Europe’s top five leagues, he follows the MLS following Lionel Messi’s move in 2023 but favors Cristiano Ronaldo in the G.O.A.T. debate. During his free time, Bhargav enjoys driving off to new places and singing.
