The young Turkish star, Arda Güler, has begun his new season with Real Madrid with great optimism, after earning the trust of the new head coach, Xabi Alonso, who expressed his admiration for Güler's performance during his participation in the recent FIFA Club World Cup.

The tournament saw Güler experience a new role as a creative midfielder within a three-defender setup. Despite being accustomed to playing near the penalty area, the player quickly adapted to the new role and delivered an impressive performance that caught the attention of the coaching staff.

According to the Spanish newspaper "Marca", Alonso emerged from the tournament impressed by Güler's capabilities, not only in terms of technical skills but also regarding his commitment to learning and understanding new tactical and defensive concepts.

This noticeable development enhances Güler's chances of breaking into the starting lineup for the upcoming season, especially after gaining the trust and playing time he lacked last season. The 20-year-old player hopes that the new season will be a real launchpad for him in Alonso's project, which relies on skill and tactical discipline.
