Last minute: Xabi Alonso’s unfair decision on Arda Güler Real Madrid’s internal tension, 20 -year -old superstar in the dispute with Arnold!
Santiago Bernabeu is not foreign to drama, but the latest developments under the new coach Xabi Alonso have created shock waves in the Real Madrid camp. According to reports from the Spanish capital, Alonso’nun young Turkish star Arda Güler after the unfair decision after the internal disputes are experiencing internal disputes. Greeting as one of the brightest capabilities of European football, the 20-year-old midfielder could not agree with the summer transfer Trent Alexander-Arnold and added even more fire to the already tense situation in the locker room. Real Madrid 2025 Clubs progress in the early stages of the World Cup, these tensions are threatened to undermine the goals of the team under the new coach.
Since he took over the task from Carlo Ancelotti, Xabi Alonso has been assigned to revive the Real Madrid team, which had a cup -free 2024/25 season. Considering his successful period in Bayer Leverkusen and his German team to make the Bundesliga champion, his arrival was welcomed with optimism. However, just a few weeks after taking office, cracks began to emerge. Arda Güler, an actor whose potential has been celebrated since he came from Fenerbahçe in 2023, is a player. Güler’s limited game time under the direction of Ancelotti, the Italian manager was in office if the young star reported to be thinking of renting last summer had already disappointed.
With the appointment of Alonso, Güler expressed his hopes for a new start, especially in the role of the midfielder. Nevertheless, the latest decisions of the new manager disappointed the Turkish international player. According to sources close to the team, Guler’s disappointment is due to Alonso’s tactical preferences during the World Cup. Despite his extraordinary performance against Pachuca, where Guler scored a 3-1 win, Alonso preferred other players in important matches and reportedly limited the duration of Guler. This decision was perceived unjustly by the guler and its supporters, considering the expression of the desire to play in the center rather than the right wing he occasionally served under the management of Ancelotti. Alonso clearly accepted Guler’s preference and said, “I agree that Arda should be close to the ball. He is a special player because the more he makes a touch, the better he and the team play.” he said. Nevertheless, actions seem to contradict the words because Guler is not consistently used in the role he wants and leads to increasingly discontent.
The situation is becoming more complex due to the dispute between Guler and the high-profile transfer Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool. Alexander-Arnold, who joined Real Madrid this summer, was the focus of Alonso’s tactical experiments. Alonso played the 26-year-old player against RB Salzburg as a right-back routine, and this move gave his fruits with a perfect performance by praising Alexander-Arnold’s teammate Jude Bellingham. However, this tactical change reportedly caused friction with guler, who felt that his own development was pushed aside to adapt to the old Liverpool star. Sources, Guler’s Alonso’s Alexander-Arnold, especially for those in advanced positions, believes that Bellingham and Federico Valverde can complete players in the midfield that he can complete the glowing opportunities.
The tension between the two players is not only tactical. Reports suggest that there was a heated debate during a training session at Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, the base of Real Madrid during the World Cup of Clubs. Although the details are small, it is believed that it expresses disappointment about Guler’s role and that Alexander-Arnold’s important position in Alonso management has become a matter of debate. This incident divided the locker room, some players sympathize with the situation of Guler, others reported that Alonso’s vision to integrate Alexander-Arnold’s versatility into the squad.
The complexity is added to the wider context of Real Madrid’s dynamics. The 17 -year -old Franco Mastantiono’s arrival from River Plate to 63 million euros points to Alonso’s intention to start a team for the future. However, competition is violent for places, with settled stars such as Vinicius JR., Bellingham and healed Kylian Mbappe. Another important player, Rodrygo Goes, was also uneasy and reportedly traveled to a possible transfer rumors to Arsenal or Barcelona due to the limited participation in Alonso. Stuck in this crowded offensive view, Güler is afraid of being pushed aside despite his latest performances.
Alonso tried to make unrest trivial. At the last press conference, “We need to take positive things in every match and learn from what we can develop.” he stressed the need to be patient. However, the pressure is increasing with Real Madrid’s encounter with RB Salzburg in a critical club World Cup match. The Spanish media, which acted quickly to enlarge any dispute, has already begun to question whether Alonso could catch up with the tactical intelligence of human administration. AS, the Spanish publishing organization, reported that 86 %of the fans wanted Güler in the first 11; This reflects the increasing popularity of the Turkish star and the disappointment of the people’s limited role.
While Real Madrid is preparing for his next struggle, the spotlights are definitely on Alonso. Will you balance the egos and ambitions of a staff full of stars while nourishing young talents like Güler? Or will the internal tensions will continue to boil and threaten to exit the rail before the project is fully shaped? For now, Bernabeu fans can only do nothing but hope that their new coaches will reunite the harmony and take the club to win again.
