Arda Güler Faces Jude Bellingham Hurdle! Surprise Decision from Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid...

Real Madrid, who drew with Elche in their last LaLiga match, found some morale this week in the UEFA Champions League. Los Blancos defeated Olympiakos 3-2 away on Tuesday night. (Note: The final score was actually 4-3 in favor of Real Madrid, with a thrilling comeback.)

Another Assist from Arda to Mbappé

Arda Güler started in the lineup for the match against Olympiakos. The 20-year-old footballer provided an assist to Kylian Mbappé and continued his synergy with the French goalscorer. (Mbappé scored four goals in the game, including a rapid hat-trick, marking the second-fastest in Champions League history.)

Concerning Player: Bellingham!

The report in the Spanish press touched on the topic of Jude Bellingham and Arda Güler. It was also noted that some players are being left out of position, with emphasis on Arda Güler.

'Doubts About Him Are Increasing'

Antonio Romero, reporter for El Larguero newspaper, said the following on the matter: "Doubts about Bellingham are increasing, and this is not good for either the team or himself. The coach clearly stated that he wanted to rest him because he wasn't ready to play 90 minutes."

'A Real Problem'

When he came on, Bellingham either wasn't ready to play or the substitution didn't suit him, as he provided no contribution to the team. This is a real problem that Xabi Alonso needs to solve.

'Arda Is Performing Well in His Position, But...'

Arda is delivering his best performance in Bellingham's position, but the English footballer also needs to play. Because Jude is one of Real Madrid's biggest stars. Moreover, when the Englishman is in good physical condition, he provides great contribution to the team. It wouldn't make sense to leave him out of the squad.

'The Technical Staff Is Trying to Find the Right Formula'

Xabi Alonso sees Jude Bellingham as a very determined player. He doesn't want to give up on using him in midfield, but he also views Arda Güler as an exceptionally talented player, so he's not inclined to give up on him either. Therefore, the technical staff is working to find the most suitable formula for both players.

'It's Not Easy to Include Players Who Like Similar Positions in the Squad!'

The difficulty is that it's not easy to include some players who prefer to play in similar positions in the squad. They need to rotate during matches, change positions, and take on different roles. The best way to make them work together is through this. We'll see if Xabi can achieve it in the coming months.
