The issue of young talents has once again come to the forefront at Real Madrid. According to sources, the "royal club" is not fully satisfied with the recent performances and overall performance of Arda Güler and Franco Mastontuono. Within the team, the pace of development, influence on the field, and stability of the two players are being carefully monitored.
Arda Güler's situation is particularly concerning Real Madrid's management. The Turkish midfielder has high hopes for the club - it's even been said that he was seen as the "new Luka Modric." But this comparison seems to have become a heavy pressure for Huler: both fans and specialists feel signs of inability to play freely, hesitation in decisions, and difficulty finding oneself on the field.
This was clearly demonstrated in the Copa del Rey match against "Albacete." Reports indicate that in that match, Güler even lagged behind central defender Raul Asensio in accurate passes. That is, the main "weapon" for a midfielder - the quality of game control and passes - is not working at the expected level yet.
In the case of Franco Mastontuono, another problem is being raised. It is said that the Argentinian winger has recently been sidelined from the starting lineup. Moreover, there are rumors that his physical and playing form is declining. The most alarming thing is that the "credit of trust" is also gradually decreasing: there's a growing belief that the club's hopes for Franco aren't as high as before.
For information, Real Madrid lost to Albacete in the Copa del Rey playoffs and exited the competition. After this failure, it's natural for the team's responsibility and demands to increase even more - especially the pressure of "prove growth faster" towards young people intensifies.
The conclusion is this: talent alone is not enough at Real Madrid - stability, psychological preparation, and influence on the field are required. Both Güler and Mastontuono are young, there's still time. But time always moves fast at the Bernabéu - no one here waits long for delayed progress.
