Xabi Alonso told Arda Güler after Mastantuono's signing: 'I promise you'

The performance of the white team in this Club World Cup has been simply astonishing under Alonso. One of the great benefits of the arrival of this new coach is clearly Arda Güler, who has had many more minutes. However, although the player is worried about Franco Mastantuono's arrival, Alonso has promised him that he won't be displaced.

In a rather forceful way and according to the information shared by Mario Cortegana, they would have a different role in the team. The intention of the white team is to try to use the Argentine footballer more as a right winger than in the center of the field.

With this, El Turco would practically have the entire space in the center of the Merengue midfield at his disposal to showcase his best soccer. Meanwhile, the Argentine player could have benefited from the vision of a player who, besides being very young, is very talented.

They won't get in each other's way

It seems simply unbelievable how Alonso is managing every detail in the squad. Both footballers seemed to be in trouble because they could end up overlapping in their profiles. However, the coach has directly started with his plan and won't put them in the same position.

The idea is to try to ensure that the Argentine can establish himself as the right winger of the white team. Moreover, some sources indicate that even the young Endrick could also try to fit into this role.

With this, Güler's position is completely secured for the coming years, at least as a playmaker. This is the position Alonso has used him in during this Club World Cup and he has progressed tremendously. With this, there is absolute security for the young number 15 of the Merengue squad.

Everything is planned

What seems logical is that everything is planned so both footballers can get minutes without getting in each other's way. One more masterful strategy by the board and, of course, also by the coach.

Moreover, with this, they could allow footballers like Rodrygo, who hasn't been able to reach the required level, to leave.
