Unexpected rant by José Félix Díaz against Endrick and Arda Güler: 'It's been a while...'

The journalist points to both players and makes a very striking defense

The victory of Real Madrid against Leganés was marked by several players who were protagonists. It's true that all the spotlight was on Gonzalo García after scoring the winning goal. The youth player scored in the final moments to become an unexpected hero.

But there was also a focus on two of the players who are most eagerly anticipated on the field. Arda Güler and Endrick were starters again, and Jacobo Ramón took on the role of center-back alongside Asencio. It's true that the debut weighed on him as he wasn't at his usual level.

However, some Madridists have pointed out that the youth player's performance isn't the worst news. Instead, they point to the Brazilian and the Turk for their lack of involvement in important plays during the match. Even though Endrick scored a goal, he didn't take advantage of the other opportunities he had.

José Félix Díaz has echoed the criticisms being directed at Arda Güler and Endrick. He has left an unexpected rant on social media pointing to both players. "What he's been seeing for longer than all of us..." he posted on his Twitter profile.

An unexpected defense of Ancelotti who keeps receiving criticism

The Marca journalist has made an unexpected defense of Ancelotti with his comment. One of the demands made of the Real Madrid coach is the few minutes he gives them. But he took advantage of the poor match that Endrick and Güler had in Leganés.

For many, the lack of minutes both have means they can't be judged as they lack continuity. But José Félix has made it clear that Ancelotti has detected something. He continues to trust them but considers that they must keep working to earn a place in his plans.

Now Real Madrid faces several crucial commitments for this season. It remains to be seen if they manage to succeed and what role Endrick or Güler will play. If they don't get minutes and the team loses, Ancelotti will be back in the spotlight.
