Arda Guler’s season has been hampered by an unceasing storm of injuries, making it challenging for the Turkish marvel to immediately fit in with the club and culture.
Since making his debut against Arandina in January, Guler has only been able to accrue sporadic playing time rather than solidifying his spot in the starting lineup.
Naturally, Carlo Ancelotti’s system has suffered most from his absence throughout the first half of the season.
But having moved past those physical problems, Guler is gradually gaining Ancelotti’s trust and trying to earn it permanently.
Guler making the necessary effort
Before the season finishes, Arda Guler is reportedly putting in a lot of effort to gain Carlo Ancelotti’s trust, starting with the physical side of things, according to Jorge Picon.
The narrative claims that they are “amazed” by the Turk’s physical transformation in Valdebebas, a change the coach had often requested.
He is quite strong now. They say, “It’s impressive to see him without a shirt,” coming from the locker room.
Guler works out every day in addition to working from home, indicating that his commitment extends beyond the gym.
Guler is keen to obtain more playing time because he knows the importance of maintaining a consistent effort. Last month, he scored his first goal for the Merengues against Celta Vigo.
Teams in Liga are watching Guler.
Despite Ancelotti’s insistence that he believes in the 19-year-old and views him as a long-term project, Guler may go on loan this summer.
Particularly Real Sociedad is reportedly looking to sign him for a summer loan.
Guler may consider polishing his skills while on loan if the team’s competition becomes more intense and new players continue to chip in with minutes.
