Unrest growing at Real Madrid over lack of playing time of wonderkids Endrick and Arda Guler

LaLiga

Leganes

Real Madrid

<p>Real Madrid's board members, including president Florentino Perez, are frustrated with manager Carlo Ancelotti over the lack of playing time for teenage sensations Endrick and Arda Guler, as per <a href="https://www.relevo.com/futbol/liga-primera/abre-melon-ancelotti-20241106025224-nt.html" target="_self">Relevo journalist Javier Rodríguez Pascual</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Real Madrid haven't had the greatest of starts to the ongoing campaign, especially considering the fact that they won the LaLiga-Champions League double at the end of the previous campaign.</p><p>Kylian Mbappe was supposed to be the final piece of this jigsaw and lead this team to unparalleled glory over the next five to 10 years, but he has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/jude-bellingham-told-every-right-upset-with-kylian-mbappe-thierry-henry-real-madrid-no-9-do-way-more/blt4b24225446d53cb2" target="_self">ineffective as a centre forward</a>. </p><p>As if that wasn't enough, the club's midfielders have failed to plug the void left by the retirement of Toni Kroos. There is a feeling that the likes of Jude Bellingham, Fede Valverde, and Aurelien Tchouameni are a shadow of their 2023-24 versions. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Shockingly, Endrick and Guler have played a combined total of just one minute in the previous four games in all competitions. Taking into account Mbappe's struggles in attack and the lack of creativity in midfield, it's hard to understand why Ancelotti hasn't played either of the teenagers. The duo have impressed in the limited minutes they have earned this season, making an impact more often than not.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Amid the struggle for form and consistency, another tough challenge awaits Los Blancos this weekend, when they host fifth-placed Osasuna in LaLiga on Saturday, November 9. It remains to be seen if either Endrick or Guler get some minutes, let alone a spot in the starting XI.</p>
