Arda Güler Broke a Record With Real Madrid Against Leganés, No One Had Done It

The performances of the Turkish '15' are analyzed in depth by both the fans and the white technical staff

Carlo Ancelotti Presented a Striking Surprise in the Starting Eleven for the Match Against Leganés. The 'pepinera' squad visited Santiago Bernabéu after an international break that wore out the pupils of the Reggiolo coach. In this context, Arda Güler Had a New Opportunity as a starter with Real Madrid after his good performance with Türkiye.

While it is true that the footballer from Altindag didn't offer any assists to his teammates nor had the opportunity to score, the Reggiolo coach indicated he was satisfied. The feelings aroused by the performance of the Turkish '15', substituted during the second half, are not the only thing that has caught the attention of the team's coaching staff.

Because the Turkish attacking midfielder, despite constantly playing far from his most usual and natural position, managed to write his name in a new record. The young merengue talent recorded 0.96 expected assists against Leganés: no wonder he was close to providing one or two goal passes to his teammates in the forward line.

That expected assists record is the highest recorded by a Real Madrid player in the last three years. The peculiarity of that record is due to the temporal nature, since Arda Güler recorded 0.96 expected assists in less than 70 minutes, a statistic that has taken three seasons to be surpassed. These data apply both in LaLiga and in the Champions League for the entire white squad.

Great Vision of the Game

Arda Güler Widely Surpassed the 0.65 Expected Assists Mark before Carlo Ancelotti decided to substitute him against Leganés. The Growth of the Turkish '15' Continues to Advance, albeit slowly given his few appearances and participations in his first two seasons as a white player.

This Data Published by SOFA Score Shows the Tremendous Ability Arda Güler Has to read the game and identify the best pass. Carlo Ancelotti Highlighted Precisely Those Virtues in His Assessment of the Altindag Attacking Midfielder's Match, whose place in Santiago Bernabéu locker room for the next season offers serious doubts.

The Disagreements Between the Reggiolo Coach and Arda Güler, revealed by several journalists, would now be an open secret. Based on those differences, added to his low competitive impact, the Turkish '15' would be seeking an exit from the white team for the next season... as long as Carlo Ancelotti continues at the helm of the first team.

The Executives Led by Florentino Pérez Would Accept That Departure, although they would only be willing to process his loan to one of the clubs interested in having his football services. Because Arda Güler is a player destined to lead the next sports projects given his great quality and the trust that the management has placed in the attacking midfielder.
