Real Madrid\u2019s manager has been rather blunt about Arda G\u00fcler\u2019s situation in recent weeks. In a press conference following the 2-0 victory over Girona, Carlo Ancelotti stood by his choices, which are causing considerable frustration in Turkey.<\/p>\n
The situation surrounding young Arda G\u00fcler is generating plenty of debate in Spain and, even more so, in Turkey. Despite the high praise for the 19-year-old attacking midfielder, Carlo Ancelotti has been reluctant to grant him playing time. Since the Copa del Rey quarter-finals against Legan\u00e9s, the former Fenerbah\u00e7e player has not played a single minute for Real Madrid. This Sunday, G\u00fcler once again spent the entire match on the bench, marking his fifth consecutive game without any playing time. Following Real\u2019s 2-0 win over Girona, the Madrid coach was notably brief when asked about the young Turkish talent.<\/p>\n
Ancelotti dodges the G\u00fcler questionZero minutes for Arda G\u00fcler in the last 5 matches: Carlo Ancelotti takes a swipe \u2013 \u201cHe is\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked by reporters at the Bernab\u00e9u about Arda G\u00fcler\u2019s lack of playing time, Carlo Ancelotti did not dwell on the topic: \u201cHe is fine and ready to play,\u201d was the 65-year-old coach\u2019s simple response. In recent weeks, G\u00fcler appears to have fallen out of favour with Ancelotti, who seems to prefer Brahim D\u00edaz. With a well-established attacking trio, the former Bayern Munich manager prioritises maintaining a solid and consistent structure to achieve the club\u2019s end-of-season objectives.<\/p>\n

This situation is causing serious frustration in Turkey.

For the fifth consecutive time and the 14th this season.<\/p>\n
Given their national hero\u2019s current predicament, the media personality urged Arda G\u00fcler to leave the Spanish giants at the end of the season. It must be said that the situation is becoming increasingly tense. However, with Real Madrid looking much more dominant in recent matches, it is difficult to blame Ancelotti, who prioritises the team over individual players. With fierce competition and a wealth of talent in midfield, G\u00fcler\u2019s situation is unlikely to change anytime soon.
