Arda Guler reveals what Ancelotti kept telling him whole season – it actually helped

"When I wasn't playing, [Carlo] Ancelotti always talked with me. He told me to be patient, keep working and then my time will come.

"Those words gave me confidence," Arda Guler revealed to Real Madrid TV in an aftermath of the Villarreal encounter on Sunday.

The Turkish gem marked his tenth La Liga appearance with a brace, bringing his season tally to six goals – even though he made his first league start just a month ago.

Given that Arda continues to be patient and work hard in training, regular minutes are sure to follow.
