Edu Aguirre reveals the player who's going to change Real Madrid: 'He's given a masterclass'

Edu Aguirre's message on 'El Chiringuito' about Arda Güler and his outstanding performance

Arda Güler was the only surprise in Real Madrid's line-up for the match against Pachuca. Xabi Alonso left Rodrygo Goes on the bench; he didn't play a single minute. Instead, he chose to give the Turkish player an opportunity, who had a great match against the Mexicans, improving a white team that is gradually increasing its performance.

Against Pachuca, Arda Güler played more centrally and for several minutes was the creator for the whites in midfield. He also scored a brilliant goal from behind. The Turkish player took advantage of a great assist from Gonzalo to score the second goal for the Madridists in Charlotte.

Arda Güler is Xabi Alonso's chosen one

Arda Güler showed in the hour he played that he's ready to make a difference at Real Madrid. He's a footballer who's expected to earn more appearances in the starting elevens of Xabi Alonso, who trusts him a lot.

Everything suggests the Turkish player will be a starter again in the third match of the group stage against RB Salzburg. Real Madrid are playing for first place in the group, and Xabi Alonso will choose Arda Güler to control Madrid's play.

Another person who spoke about the high level shown by Arda Güler was Edu Aguirre during his appearance on "El Chiriguito." The journalist, present in Charlotte, revealed the importance the Turkish player will have under Xabi Alonso.

"Xabi Alonso believes Güler can make a difference. Today, he's given a technical and tactical masterclass," explained Edu Aguirre referring to Arda Güler.

In a clear statement of intent, Xabi Alonso went with Arda Güler instead of Rodrygo, who didn't play a single minute. The Brazilian player keeps his worrying situation and could leave Real Madrid before the transfer window closes.

Rodrygo has several offers, but he wants to stay at Real Madrid. Despite his desire, his last few months haven't been good at all, and it doesn't seem like things have changed much for the Carioca under Xabi Alonso.
