FIFA Clubs World Cup quarter -finals will be played between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund before the match, both teams prepared their tactics as strict as a bow. However, Bellingham, who attracted the attention of the media, was Arda Güler, the young pearl of Turkish football playing in Real, not Vinicius, Reus or Malen.
And the coach Xabi Alonso, who was once famous for his discipline, cold -blooded and absolute tactical control, made a statement when both experts and supporters “surprise”.
🎯 Dortmund sees Güler as a “biggest tactical threat”
According to sources from the German media, Dortmund’s analysis team spent about 3 hours at a closed meeting before the match, and Arda Güler’s clips in the last matches, heat maps and movement data examined. They identified:
“This young player tends to escape the pressure by not following any fixed movement rule.”
This makes Dortmund players marking the traditional man and makes the technical team think about sacrificing a player in the middle of the field to “follow Güler throughout the match.
🧠 Xabi Alonso speaks: “Very… extraordinary”
When Dortmund was asked if he showed special interest in Güler, the coach Xabi Alonso suddenly broke his usual cold -bloodedness and left a sentence that drowned the entire press conference room:
“I understand why they are afraid of him. To be honest, sometimes I can’t control Arda.
“Very unusual genius. Sometimes I give the instructions somehow – but when he goes on the field, he does the opposite – and then he scored goals.”
⚡ Güler – A genius without a template
It is not a coincidence that both the Xabi Alonso and the Real Madrid board of directors are determined to hold Güler despite many suggestions to rent him.
Only in the last few games, 20 -year -old player:
He scored 3 goals after entering the game from the bench
He made an average of 2.6 successful drips per game
“Like paradise” made 2 corner shots that led to scoring goals from a long distance
And especially: he never played in the position he was appointed.
💬 Real Madrid was also surprised
A source from the Real locker room said:
“To be honest, there was a day when Güler was only appointed to play on the right. But when he entered the game, he appeared in the middle, then suddenly… The left appeared in the penalty area! Surprisingly, it worked.”
🔥 What will Dortmund do?
Faced with a “unpredictable ör player like a smiling player, Dortmund has to choose between the two options:
Send someone to mark it closely, but lose numbers in the midfield
Leave Güler alone, but take the risk of breaking the whole system when he enters
Whichever way you choose, something is clear: Güler creates a headache for a power center like Dortmund – and that says a lot about the rising class of the Turkish jewel.
🏁 Result
While the time counts down towards the 90-minute disaster, Dortmund prepares the sequence of 5-4-1, and the Real has a staff full of stars… But perhaps the person who will disrupt this balance will be a “freak” child that can not even stop his own coach.
“Arda Güler does not need anyone to direct him. He chooses his own way – and if he wakes up with a special inspiration that day, then… Be careful.” – Xabi Alonso.
