Real Madrid Confidencial Florentino Closely Watches 2 Real Madrid Players, Their Future's at Stake
Both will have to show a better level to earn Florentino and Ancelotti's trust
The start of the year will be quite demanding for Real Madrid. The Meringues, determined to compete in all tournaments, could play up to nine games in January. For this reason, Carlo Ancelotti wants all his players to be ready and to make a significant contribution.
Arda Güler and Endrick are two players under the eyes of Carlo Ancelotti and Florentino Pérez. The club trusts them but wants to see them step up in the upcoming games. However, it's also the Italian coach's job to give them minutes so they can show their true level.
Arda Güler's time
Although the situation seems similar to last season, Güler isn't experiencing the injuries of last year. The player hasn't secured a first-team place, and Carlo Ancelotti hasn't found an ideal spot for him in the line-up. However, the Turk is counting on the large number of games to find more minutes and more continuity.
Güler has plenty of talent to succeed at Real Madrid, but needs to step up. Last season, he ended up being one of the biggest revelations, which earned him another season at the club. However, the player faces a new challenge, and the coming months could be crucial for his future.
Endrick's Redemption
Endrick's case is different from Arda Güler's. The Brazilian forward joined Real Madrid as soon as he turned 18 to be a solution in attack. However, his participation has been decreasing, which worries Florentino Pérez.
Carlo Ancelotti has asked him to keep working, assuring him that his time will come, although it seems the Italian has lost confidence in him.
In the last ten LaLiga matches, he's barely accumulated just over 40 minutes, and on several occasions, he hasn't even come off the bench. His performances in the Champions League haven't been remarkable either, and at Real Madrid, there's already talk of a possible loan.
Now, with the start of the Copa del Rey, the Brazilian forward has the chance to redeem himself, starting with the match against Deportiva Minera. His starting position for that game isn't guaranteed, although he's likely to play. This will be the first test of the year for an Endrick who wants to turn the situation around as soon as possible.
