Arda Güler the Biggest Beneficiary of Mourinho’s Arrival at Real Madrid

The arrival of José Mourinho at Real Madrid meant an immediate change in the team's dynamics. The Portuguese coach decided to give Arda Güler a leading role from the start, including him as a starter in most of the matches. The Turkish attacking midfielder, who previously played a secondary role, has become a key piece of the new project.

Güler is starting to be decisive in Madrid's offensive build-up. His vision of the game and ability to create danger between the lines made him an influential player. The reward came quickly, he was named MVP against Betis, even without completing the 90 minutes. Mourinho seems to have found the formula to enhance his virtues, giving him confidence and freedom in decisive moments.

The next step for Güler is to maintain his performance throughout the entire match. If Mourinho gives him full continuity, the Turk can establish himself as one of the team's offensive leaders. In a club where the competition is fierce, having the coach's backing is essential. Today, he has that support, and everything indicates that his development under the Portuguese's guidance could mark the beginning of a golden era at Real Madrid.
