Spanish Marca Newspaper Lauds Arda Güler
The Spanish Marca Newspaper has lauded the performance of Arda Güler, the talented Turkish youngster representing Real Madrid, following his impressive display against Leganes.
Güler was part of the starting lineup for the sixth time in this La Liga season and delivered a compelling performance. He played 62 minutes of the match, which ended in a 2-2 draw, and left a memorable impression on the field. At the conclusion of the game, Real Madrid’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti, praised Güler’s contributions, stating, “He showed his quality, he touches the ball very well and reads the game well. He is not as explosive as our offensive players, but he was useful.”
Impressive xA Value
According to Marca Newspaper’s statistics, Arda Güler had 61 touches during his time on the pitch, achieving a remarkable 93% pass accuracy rate. Alongside the experienced Luka Modric, Güler played a pivotal role in orchestrating the team’s strategies and was a significant asset in the offensive plays. His tactical manoeuvre to earn a penalty was a turning point, and his precise cross to Mbappe narrowly missed being converted into a goal. Güler made four key passes, with his “Expected Assists” (xA) value soaring to 0.96. This figure stands as the highest for any Real Madrid player who has played less than 70 minutes over the past three years.
“One of His Most Complete Games”
The article further elaborates, “Thus far, the tournament where Arda has seen the most action is the King’s Cup. The young star, who has clocked over 75 minutes in numerous matches, may find himself back on the bench for the Real Sociedad rematch. However, he is well aware that remaining a part of Madrid’s lineup requires more than just talent; teamwork is essential. While the Leganes game may not have been his most dazzling performance, it was undoubtedly one of his most holistic displays.”
