Spanish press criticizes Ancelotti over Arda Güler: Thousands participate in poll

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti answered questions about Arda Güler during the press conference following their UEFA Champions League match against Braga.

Responding to a question about why he did not give Arda playing time despite him being in the squad for the Braga match and the team having secured a very advantageous score, the Italian manager said, "We are taking care of him. He is coming back from two significant injuries and has been participating in all team training sessions for about a week. When Arda reaches 100 percent, he will get time on the pitch."

IT BECAME A SUBJECT OF CRITICISM IN SPAIN

The Spanish press criticized the decision not to give Arda Güler a chance, especially after a 3-0 lead was established by the 61st minute.

Following the match, the newspaper Marca immediately launched a poll on its website with the question, "What do you think about Arda not playing?"

In the poll, where more than 5 thousand people voted in a short time, 66 percent answered, "Bad, today was the perfect day for him to make his debut," while 34 percent answered, "Good, there are other players who need more playing time."
