Live Sports News 7/8: According to "TA", Real Madrid's head coach Alonso is very satisfied with Jueler's performance. Real Madrid has informed him that the signing of Mastantono will not take away his playing time.
Since Alonso took over the team in May, he has been paying close attention to every detail. Jurriel, who is 20 years old, is one of the main beneficiaries of his arrival. In the semi-final of the Club World Cup against Dortmund, Jurriel provided two excellent assists, helping Real Madrid advance to the semi-finals.
Guellur has become a key figure for Real Madrid. His playing time in the team ranks ninth (340 minutes), while last season when Ancelotti was in charge, he only ranked seventeenth. And the former Real Madrid coach Ancelotti once suggested to Guellur that he could be the successor to Modric and Kross.
In the summer of 2023, Guerreiro joined the team from Fenerbahçe for 20 million euros. However, he suffered from injuries in his first season. During the last season of Ancelotti's coaching tenure, Guerreiro's problem was that he didn't have any opportunities. This caused unease among the club and the fans. Ancelotti's words were: "At Real Madrid, young players must first endure some time on the bench before they can become the unquestionable starting players."
However, a source close to Jurrel who declined to be named told "TA" that Alonso had a different opinion: "Alonso was very satisfied with Jurrel's performance." Alonso had wanted to sign him when he was coaching Leverkusen, and now he has demonstrated the reason for his desire.
Meanwhile, the club also showed confidence in Jurriel. When Real Madrid was finalizing the signing of Mastatono from River Plate, Jurriel knew that he would be playing as a midfielder this season. He was informed that the arrival of this right winger would not affect his playing time.
Guellur was a substitute at the start of the Club World Cup. But Alonso put him on the field in the 10th minute of the match against Al-Ain and replaced him in the 46th minute. Although the game ended in a 1-1 draw, Guellur's performance was convincing and he has since become a key player.
In the 3-1 victory over Pachuca, Guerrel scored a goal, making him the youngest player to score 10 goals for Real Madrid in all competitions in a single season since Opta began recording this data in the 2009/2010 season (20 years and 57 days old), surpassing Vinicius' record (20 years and 80 days old).
Guerrero's visibility in the media is also increasing. Although he doesn't speak Spanish very well and his English is not very fluent, he has been selected by the club to speak three times during the matches. When asked about the difference between Ancelotti and Alonso, Guerrero explained: "Alonso gives us more control of the game, which is better for my performance. I'm happy because I can play and play in the midfield."
Before the match against Dortmund, he reiterated this point: "Everything is fine because I have started in all three of my recent games. I performed well, the coach was very pleased, and the team was also satisfied with me." Alonso supported him when answering the question about whether Jurriel could be tougher on the defensive end: "It's time to invest in Jurriel's progress and development now. Let him know that he can make mistakes."
Guerreiro immediately demonstrated his versatility in the game. Within one minute, he showcased his all-round skills. First, he regained possession of the ball, then controlled it with his feet, and subsequently provided a clever assist for Gonzalo-Garcia to score in the 10th minute.
Gonzalo-Garcia said: "We talked about this before the game. He told me that if there was space, he would pass the ball to me and ask me to wait there. I was just there, and the pass was very accurate, just like the one I gave to Arnold a few days ago. All I needed to do was to shoot the ball into the goal."
Guerreiro demonstrated his versatility. At first, he was a positional midfielder, but eventually he transformed into an attacking playmaker and even moved to the wing. From there, he coordinated with Mbappé, who increased the score to 3-1.
Giruer's arrival was personally overseen by the club's president, Florentino. At that time, Barcelona also wanted to sign him. At that time, he didn't have a fixed position in the team, but he was regarded as an outstanding talent, so Real Madrid signed him.
