Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti made a statement at the press conference ahead of their match against Real Sociedad in the Spanish King's Cup.

The Italian coach made a harsh statement when asked about the news that national football player Arda Güler has not been able to play even 1 minute in the last 5 official matches and that he will be leaving the team.

"ARDA GULER NEEDS TIME! EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THIS, AND THOSE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND IT WILL HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IT TOO!"

Carlo Ancelotti , who also responded to the criticisms directed at him on this issue, said, "Anyone who has doubts about my management can come to my office, my door is open. Valverde and Rodrygo have also gone through the process Arda Güler is going through before, it is not a situation specific to him. Arda Güler is still very young and he needs to understand this. He needs time to adapt to the best squad in the world, the competition is very high. Everyone understands this, those who do not will have to understand it."

"IT IS NORMAL FOR YOUNG FOOTBALL PLAYERS TO WANT TO PLAY"

Ancelotti, who stated that he speaks to young players in the team like Arda and Endrick every day and that it is normal for their psychology to change from time to time, said, "I want to see the player happy when he plays. It is normal for them to want to play and those who want to play should work and learn. But I spend a short time with him (Arda Güler). He is with others for a longer time. And I do not know if they agree with me. I do not know if they agree with me for him to play, to be ready, to work. This is a lack of communication."

HE PLAYED HIS LAST MATCH ON FEBRUARY 5

Arda Güler, who last played in the cup match against Leganes on February 5, was not included in the game by Ancelotti, although he was on the bench in the matches against Manchester City (2 matches), Atletico de Madrid and Osasuna played since that day.

ARDA GULER'S PERFORMANCE THIS SEASON

Arda Güler , who played in 27 matches in all competitions for Real Madrid this season, was only able to stay on the field for 967 minutes.

The 20-year-old national star showed a performance of 3 goals and 5 assists in this limited time he was on the field.
