Carlo Ancelotti still not convinced by Real Madrid sensation
By Kian Long
Carlo Ancelotti is believed to be unconvinced by a Real Madrid sensation. This is despite his son, David Ancelotti, campaigning for him to start.
Carlo Ancelotti has worked with some of the best players in history. Throughout his time at Europe's best teams, he has learned a thing or two about not only spotting talent but maximising output too.
This is why Carlo Ancelotti is among the best managers of all-time. Even given his age, he is still at the top of the game and has a great way of working with young superstars to bring out the best in them.
Despite his stern exterior, Carlo Ancelotti is a fair manager. He prides himself on giving every player an equal opportunity. However, this cannot always be the case, for obvious reasons.
Carlo Ancelotti still not convinced by Real Madrid sensation
According to Radio Marca, Carlo Ancelotti cannot justify handing a place in the starting lineup to Arda Guler. This is despite being pressured by his son and assistant coach David Ancelotti.
Davide thinks Guler should be given a shot in the starting lineup. However, he faces the problem of not being able to name the position he will fill or the player he should replace.
Carlo Ancelotti is thinking more rationally than his son. He is yet to be convinced that Arda Guler deserves a spot in the starting lineup.
Unfortunately, this is just one of those things in football. Nobody can deny that Arda Guler has an incredible ceiling. However, naming any lineup with Arda Guler in is bound to worse than the strongest Real Madrid lineup. This is because Guler is not within Real Madrid's best eleven, yet.
However, there is time for Arda Guler to impress Carlo Ancelotti. Last season, the Turkey sensation made some great performances from the bench, so he will hope for even better cameos this campaign.
Naturally, the competition for places is heightened at Real Madrid currently. They welcomed Endrick and Kylian Mbappe in summer, both players making life more difficult for Arda Guler.
In many ways, this selection confusion is a nice problem for Carlo Ancelotti to have.
