Xabi was keen on this player when he was coaching Leverkusen, and now he has secured him at Madrid without any hassle. This move will undoubtedly be maximized to help Xabi bring out the best in Arda.
Previously, Arda did indeed have great potential, but under Ancelotti, he rarely got regular playing time, which did hinder his performance. However, under Xabi now, it seems Xabi wants to continue exploring Arda's potential to make a bigger contribution to the club.
In the first two matches, he started as a starter, but the point I want to highlight is that he always plays different roles due to his high flexibility as a player. He was quite skilled as an attacking midfielder in the first match, in the second match he was deployed as a second striker, and he usually plays as a winger, so it is clear that Xabi wants this player to develop rapidly now.
Xabi Alonso have always been a big fan of Arda Güler following the rare outstanding qualities of the turkey international. He's been extremely contributing to the club since Xabi Alonso took over the managerial role as headcoach. Giving him enough playing time and watching him develop and banging goals for the club. Arda Güler is a longterm and prominent player for Real Madrid, he will go far this season following how tough and consistent he's been on the pitch and also having good relationship with his teammates, tell me a single player that doesn't like the pattern of Arda Güler? Nobody I think
Xabi Alonso will be hitting on the real players when it's time to execute his motives and plans for Real Madrid. We know the kind of coach he's growned and become in Santiago Bernabéu in just few little time given to him.
