Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is no longer entertaining questions over whether Arda Guler‘s frustration could be having a negative impact on him. The Italian veteran has refused to alter his decision-making or his approach for the 18-year-old starlet, in spite of his obvious desperation to get on the pitch, and the hype surrounding him.
Again on Sunday evening against Sevilla, Guler looked primed to come on, but was denied the opportunity, before a corner and then Luka Modric’s goal saw his entrance held back again. After Modric’s excellent strike, Ancelotti decided to go with a more control-orientated substitution, with Dani Ceballos coming on rather than Guler.
Ancelotti was asked about it after the match, and saw no reason to explain himself to Guler.
“I had one thought before Modric’s goal and after the goal I changed my mind. It’s not that complicated and I don’t have to explain this. And if he don’t understand it, it doesn’t matter.”
Guler has reacted poorly to being left on the bench in the past, unable to contain his frustration, and after missing six months of action through injury, Guler has played just 92 minutes all season. Most of those came in a Copa del Rey tie against Arandina, and Guler will again have to learn to earn his minutes.

Ancellotti primary job is to win and bring in trophies and maintain squad unity. can you play everyone. Everyone is fighting for minutes, brahimi, modric, Garcia, guler etc. so he should just field anybody because he want to please them.

it's as if some of us don't know anything about football who do you expect guler to bench in the setup? arder knew he is was not going to be a first team player this season, he is for the future and he has got a lot to learn. vini played for the castila when he came and then he stayed in the bench of the first team and watched players better than him play, brahim had to go on loan to play well before earning the minutes he has now masa you better work hard and have patience if you really want to play for Madrid modric is playing from the bench now and he is doing his best once he gets the chance on the field

If Gurler can't be patient and work hard for his spot then maybe he went to the wrong team. In Real Madrid, play time is not handed on a silver platter. Players like Vini, Rodrygo, Valverde all earned their play time.
