The coach of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelottihas stated that “there is no doubt” that Arda Güler will stay “next year” in the merengue squad. The Turk was the author of the goal scored this Friday to beat Real Sociedad 0-1, in the first match of matchday 33 of LaLiga.
“Those who have played less in this last part of the season have done very well today. Arda Güler, Dani Ceballos, Fran García, etc., have had a good attitude on the field, a good commitment, they have fought and they have fought . Arda has scored a goal, he is going to be a very important player for us in the futurethen there is no doubt that he will stay here next year,” he said at a press conference from the Reale Arena.
He then praised Güler: “He has extraordinary quality. He is a talent, he has a very great gift, which is this talent and he has worked very well. He could play before, yes, because he is training very well. But He is very young and little by little he will play a leading role in this squad.. He has scored more goals than minutes played, that’s the gift he has.”
“Luka Modric has shown what he had shown in the last games, optimal physical condition, he is in very good shape and handled the ball very well in the second half. It has allowed us to take off a little of the pressure that Real Sociedad had done very well in the first halfhis condition is spectacular and he can obviously play on Tuesday,” said Ancelotti, when asked about the European duel against FC Bayern.
In this sense, the Madrid coach declared that “I have to look at the lineup for Tuesday because Militão has also returned, who has played as a starter for the first time and he has played very well in my opinion. So they are all the options that we have and that I will evaluate in the coming days,” he alluded to that Champions League semi-final.
Regarding the return of center back Éder Militão and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, the white coach pointed out that “obviously they have a chance” of being against Bayern. “Let’s see if Thibaut can play against Cádiz this week. I think so, after the game we will evaluate it. The important thing is that Militão has shown little by little returning to his best level, now he will have another time to improve and we are very happy,” he added.
“It was pretty clear that everyone thought we were coming here for a walk. The only ones who didn’t think so were the players, that’s why I’m very proud of them., because they have had a commitment and an attitude that only they had. They had the desire, the enthusiasm to continue winning and to maintain the good dynamic in the locker room. So I have to thank them because they have been, from this point of view, spectacular,” Ancelotti continued with his praise.
“La Real plays very well, they press a lot, they play offensive football, they are a team that I like a lot. Winning here was not easy considering what we have in the next games. But, as I said, I have a spectacular squad in this sense,” the Italian coach insisted.
“For them we have to win every game, and We have won this one by suffering, fighting. “This is very good, now there are four points left to win the League and we are really very very close,” Ancelotti concluded.
