Real Madrid president growing impatient with lack of playing time for club prodigies | OneFootball

Recent reports from Manuel Amor (h/t RM4 Arab) have shed light on the situation regarding two promising young players at Real Madrid, Arda Guler and Endrick.

Within the club, there is a growing concern about the lack of playing time for both players, especially considering their impressive performances with their national teams.

Despite their evident talent, it appears that they are not receiving the recognition they deserve within the team.

When Carlo Ancelotti has given Guler and Endrick opportunities to play, they have consistently delivered strong performances. However, there is an increasing sense of frustration among team members regarding their current status.

No opportunities for Guler and Endrick

In recent matches, the Turk has seen very limited action, appearing only in stoppage time against Borussia Dortmund and failing to make an appearance in the matches against Celta and El Clasico.

This limited playing time has resulted in him logging just 251 minutes in La Liga this season, leading to irritation from club president Florentino Perez, who is becoming increasingly impatient with how little both Guler and Endrick are utilized.

The statistics paint a clear picture of their lack of involvement. Guler has participated in only 292 minutes across 15 games, which amounts to a mere 21.6% of the total time available.

Endrick’s situation is even more concerning, with only 107 minutes played, representing just 7.9% of the total possible playing time. This disparity between their performance on the international stage and their roles at Real Madrid is baffling to many at the club.

What does Ancelotti think?

Meanwhile, Ancelotti has stated that his decisions regarding player minutes are not arbitrary but rather based on careful consideration.

He argues that his management of player time has generally been effective, allowing him to capitalize on the strengths of all his players.

He has noted that the competition in both midfield and attack is quite fierce. Additionally, there are concerns about Guler’s defensive work during training sessions, with Ancelotti urging him to improve in that area.

Overall, the situation of Guler and Endrick raises questions about how talent is recognized and utilized at Real Madrid. With their potential still largely untapped, it remains to be seen how Ancelotti will adjust their roles in the squad moving forward.
