Real Madrid Confidencial Xabi has found a diamond in the rough, the most important player in his Madrid
Xabi is certain about it, and this player is the diamond in the rough that Madrid needed
There's no doubt that the team's performance after the last season and in this Club World Cup has simply been different from what we've seen. One of these clear examples was the last match against Borussia Dortmund, where the white squad was extensively superior. Now, against Paris Saint-Germain, they'll be able to show all the progress made by Alonso and the players themselves against the European champion.
However, it's quite clear that Alonso is fully trusting the development of a footballer like Arda Güler, whom he trusts. Both agree that consistency is one of the most important factors for his development and overall play.
With the great qualities the young Turk has shown, it's practically a certainty that we'll keep seeing him in this tournament and next season as a regular. In addition, it seems that Alonso specifically fully trusts that this player can become one of the club's stars.
Trust is mutual
Both the player and the coach have managed playing time very well and, above all, have taken advantage of the opportunities they've had. The young Turk, as was already desired, has simply surprising qualities that he's managed to exploit with the help of the Spanish coach.
Although Ancelotti had his reasons for not putting him on the field, the reality is that he was going to add a lot in the medium term. In just five matches, we've been able to see the great impact this boy has on the merengue squad and what he could become in the future.
The overall development Alonso has given him and the vision of play he can provide in the coming years is something few coaches can offer. Now, after an excellent match against Dortmund and with the grand final in sight, they have to play their best match against PSG.
They have to beat the French
There's no doubt that, after the display by both teams, Madrid comes out greatly strengthened with this new game. For this reason, it's time to make a statement and get into that grand final of the Club World Cup.
