Real Madrid are entering a crucial phase of the season and one of the most important developments is the increasing role of Arda Guler.
According to Defense Central , head coach Alvaro Arbeloa appears to have held direct talks with the young Turk recently to reaffirm his trust in him.

Gule has attracted attention in recent weeks for his apparent dissatisfaction with substitutions, prompting speculation about his status in the squad.
Arbeloa, however, put those doubts to rest.
Arbeloa’s message to Gule
Guler put in an impressive performance against Elche, scoring a goal in his own half, and the manager took the opportunity to send a clear and personal message.
Arbeloa told him he felt comfortable in his role even with Jude Bellingham returning to the team, “You will continue to play with me, no questions asked.”

In fact, club sources believe he is one of the most improved players in the squad, both in terms of confidence and impact compared to last season.
There’s also a noticeable change in his personality. According to reports, after arriving in Madrid, Guler was initially considered a conservative figure, but now he has become more confident, and his performance in the locker room and on the pitch has steadily increased.
Still, expectations remain high. It is said that while the improvement is evident, Guler has more to offer.
His development continues and Real are confident that with consistent playing time and guidance, his performances will continue to improve.

A key part of Arbeloa’s vision is to develop a strong on-field connection between Guler and Bellingham.
It’s a partnership that previous manager Xavi Alonso tried to build but failed to fully unlock.
Now, under Arbeloa, there is a renewed determination to make that combination work.
