Disappointment with Ancelotti: The viral clip of Arda Güler that proves Xabi Alonso right

Xabi Alonso's arrival at Real Madrid has given a major boost to players like Arda Güler. The Basque's commitment to young players has made the Turkish footballer the main beneficiary. Among other things, this is because he's going to make him a starter and a very important figure in playmaking.

But he could also have a new role, as seen in a clip that has gone viral. In it, last year, Arda Güler is seen practicing free kicks and scoring a stunning goal into the top corner. He measures the curve he needs to give the ball, the power, and the precision.

However, Ancelotti didn't choose him for those situations. We even saw Lucas Vázquez take charge. Many fans haven't understood this, and it has caused the video to go viral again. Above all, they hope Xabi will correct that mistake.

We still don't know who will take direct free kicks this season at Real Madrid. Mbappé could also be another candidate, but Güler is pushing hard for it. If he strikes the ball like he does in the video, it's clear he's going to bring more than one joy throughout the year.

Arda Güler takes on his new role

If many are asking for Arda Güler to take free kicks, it's not just a coincidence on social media. Besides the fact that the mentioned video has gone viral, his new role must also be considered. This is something he's already started to take on this summer.

Xabi has definitely moved him away from the wing to position him inside as a playmaker. In the Club World Cup, he replied by showing a high level with that new responsibility. Meanwhile, against PSG, it became clear that he still has things to improve.

That's why he's been working hard in the gym to improve his muscle mass. Having more strength is necessary to play a good role in central midfield. This is the new role Arda Güler will have and the one he's been working on during the holidays.
