Xabi Alonso's decision on Arda Güler

It has been reported that the role of Arda Güler, who drew attention with his performance at the FIFA Club World Cup, has changed at Real Madrid.

Spanish news site Fichajes wrote that the 19-year-old national footballer was confined to the right wing during the Carlo Ancelotti era and therefore could not fully reflect his potential. However, it was stated that with Xabi Alonso taking over the managerial seat, Arda's position on the field has been reshaped.

The report emphasized that Alonso moved Arda from the right touchline to the midfield, allowing him to take on a freer and more creative role. It included the statement, "For the first time in his short professional career, he seems to have taken on a different task, playing this far back and in the center."

While it was noted that Arda Güler's career has changed direction with the arrival of Xabi Alonso, it was expressed that the young footballer is now positioned as Real Madrid's 'secret playmaker on the pitch'.

The report also stated that Arda is expected to serve as a creative midfielder in the new season if no one else is transferred to the team. Among the notable expressions in the report was that the player has "grasped this opportunity with both hands" and is determined to make the most of this chance that has come earlier than expected.
