Ancelotti's Arda Güler confession! 'He surprised me...'

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti included Arda Güler when listing the players who surprised him with their performance this season.

Ancelotti spoke at a press conference at the Valdebebas sports facilities ahead of their match against Alaves at home tomorrow in the 36th week of La Liga.

"IF ARDA HAD NOT HAD INJURY PROBLEMS..."

In response to a question about which players surprised him this season, the Italian manager said, "Those I knew less. Fran Garcia did a very good job. Especially at the beginning. Joselu and Brahim as well. There are players who would have contributed more to the team if I could have given them more time. For example, Ceballos. For various reasons, he did not get the time he deserved. Another player is Arda. If he had not had injury problems, he could have received more time. In general, the whole team surprised me. We got excellent efficiency."

Noting that they only experienced a short-term problem after the only match they lost in the season they became champions, Ancelotti said, "Thanks to the players, it was a very comfortable season."

Emphasizing that he is currently in a very good and comfortable place in his professional career, Ancelotti recalled the Champions League final they will play against Borussia Dortmund on June 1, stating, "I get excited and happy when I think about what is coming soon. The press conferences are going by without pressure, extremely pleasantly. This is a problem! Because I know that, sooner or later, harsh blows and criticisms will come."
