Reports have surfaced highlighting a key player at the center of a disagreement between Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti and his son, assistant coach Davide Ancelotti.
As the team prepares for their upcoming La Liga match against Celta Vigo at the Balaídos Stadium, with an eye on the highly anticipated El Clásico against Barcelona, a debate has emerged regarding the role of young Turkish talent, Arda Güler, in the starting lineup.
According to *Marca*, the rift stems from differing opinions on how to utilize Güler. Davide Ancelotti is pushing for the 18-year-old midfielder to be given a starting role, convinced that Güler deserves more playing time to fully showcase his abilities. On the other hand, Carlo Ancelotti prefers a more conservative approach, opting to bring Güler on as a substitute to gradually integrate him into the team.
Carlo Ancelotti’s main concern lies in Güler’s defensive shortcomings, feeling that the player’s defensive contributions don't yet match his impressive attacking skills. As a result, he’s hesitant to give the young star a starting spot and prefers to ease him into full matches.
Despite his father's reservations, Davide continues to advocate for Güler’s expanded role, confident in the midfielder’s potential to make a significant impact this season. The debate highlights the delicate balance between nurturing young talent and maintaining the team's defensive stability.
The report also suggests that if Güler’s situation doesn’t improve, he may seek a move away from Real Madrid next season. His standout performances for the Turkish national team, where he is given more freedom and trust, have only increased speculation about his future at the club.
