'Arda Güler is a mixed bag!' An interesting comment about Real Madrid's Turkish star...

Real Madrid completed preparations on Saturday for their match against Girona, who will field their strongest side at the Montilivi Municipal Stadium. Xabi Alonso is well aware of this and hopes his players will secure the three points and get back on track for victory in LaLiga, especially considering that this could allow them to reclaim the lead following Barcelona's win. "We need consistency. We've had periods where we've played well, but we've lacked a complete performance where we feel dominance, control, security and belief in our game. We're improving defensively; I'm not very happy with some things we can improve on, especially the goals we've conceded in recent matches. We'll do better. We are also developing with the ball; we are making progress, and this is the way forward," said the Basque manager.

Arda Güler uncertainty

These words clearly show that Real Madrid need more than just Arda Güler, who has yet to become the midfielder Xabi Alonso wants. The Tolosa-born coach, together with his technical team, is celebrating the 15-year-old's bond on the pitch. Kylian Mbappé, the player who has benefited most from the young Turk's talent, is the first-team player who has provided him with the most assists this season. 

However, Arda Güler has not been able to fully settle into the midfield base where Xabi Alonso also uses Jude Bellingham. This means that the Englishman and the Ottoman are competing for the attacking midfield position. This situation presents an unexpected problem for Madrid's technical staff, who will have to make an important decision following the Girona match.
