Didac Aguirre Xabi Alonso fully trusts him, this is how he spends his free time: 'Who said pressure'
The surprising attitude that a young Real Madrid star has shown in response to the trust Xabi has placed in him
For next season, Real Madrid already has some players who have earned Xabi Alonso's trust. One of them is the young Arda Güler, who faces enormous pressure as the club's new playmaker. Despite this, the Turkish footballer made a TikTok on Real Madrid's official account taking on a viral challenge.
A surprising attitude that shows the calmness Güler has ahead of the next campaign. According to what we know at Defensa Central, his naturalness is one of the qualities Real Madrid values most. Despite being 20 years old, Güler hasn't shown any signs of feeling pressure about the important role he will have to fulfill.
This gives Xabi and the team confidence that they will see a great version of the young Turkish footballer. After barely getting any minutes in previous seasons, Güler is one of Xabi's pillars. His vision and ball control have positioned him as a future top-level star.
Arda Güler's calmness
Signed in 2023 from Fenerbahçe, Arda Güler arrived at Real Madrid with the dream of succeeding at his dream club. Despite his enormous talent, his first seasons were plagued by injuries and few minutes played. Under Carlo Ancelotti's management and with internal competition in the team, Güler didn't have many opportunities.
This situation has completely changed with Xabi Alonso, who fully trusts him. The 7 hr (423 min) of playing time he had during the World Cup were clear proof of this. This tournament also showed Güler's change of role within the team.
Although the Turkish footballer was developed as a right winger, Xabi saw potential for him in midfield. It's a role where he will have more importance after the departures of Kroos and Modric. Two legends whom Güler admires and who are his great example to follow at Real Madrid.
A unique player
Despite his young age, one of Güler's most outstanding qualities is his maturity. Any 20-year-old footballer would succumb to the pressure of being Real Madrid's new playmaker. A challenge Güler accepted without any problems and in which he aims to stand out next season.
