Every star player starts from youth; at 20, Güller could become Real Madrid’s next midfield master, though it demands guidance and further match exposure. In La Liga’s second round, Real Madrid secured a 3-0 away victory over promoted Oviedo, with Güller in the starting lineup as the number 10, featuring for 74 minutes and delivering an assist.
According to the well-known data provider Sofascore, Güller completed as many as 8 key passes in Real Madrid’s 3-0 win over Oviedo.He is the third Real Madrid player in the past seven seasons to achieve 8 or more key passes in a single game; the others being the retired Kroos (twice) and former player Modrić, alongside Güller.
Under Ancelotti, Güller was rarely utilized, but with the arrival of new coach Alonso, this Turkish midfield prodigy’s tactical role at Real Madrid has been elevated. He started both of the first two La Liga matches this season, which is a positive sign. Perhaps Alonso is grooming Güller like Wirtz; young players with skill and talent most need the coach’s trust and tactical support to quickly transform their potential into immediate impact. Alonso is helping 20-year-old Güller grow rapidly, making him one of Real Madrid’s new highlights and hopes this season, or possibly the team’s new leader already within the squad.
