TA: Guillail s team denied complaining about Ancelotti and was very satisfied with Alonso s coaching

Hupu August 12th TheAthleticUK Real Madrid team wrote a column of Gulaire.

After eliminating the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, Turkey's player Guerre arrived at Madrid's Barajas Airport, and the camera captured the scene of his affectionate farewell to Modric.

Modric played for 13 seasons at the Bernabeu and was about to leave after his contract expired. At the age of 39, he gave his No. 10 jersey as a gift to Gulaire, who is 19 years younger than him.

According to Gulaire's confidants, if Gulaire really inherited Modric's number, the gift would have been more significant. However, the club finally decided to award the iconic jersey to Mbappe, who is already wearing the No. 10 jersey of the French national team.

In any case, Modric won 28 titles during his time at Real Madrid—more than any other player in the club’s history—now joins AC Milan as a free agent. Guillail also hopes to take a similar path in his third season with the club.

"Alda is very satisfied with Xavi (Alonso)," a person close to the players told TheAthletic during the Club World Cup.

It is this connection with Real Madrid's new coach that may lead to further improvement in Real Madrid. In fact, Real Madrid rated him very well after his first training, and club insiders were also impressed by his abilities, especially his left foot technique.

However, under Ancelotti's leadership last season, he often did not get playing time, which caused dissatisfaction within the club and among the fans, and the media often asked Ancelotti about it. Faced with these problems, the head coach seemed very nervous and even suggested that the people around him gave Guillail some bad advice.

"I spent very little time with him, and he spent a lot of time with other people," Ancelotti said in February. "I don't know if others are like me, thinking that for him, what is the best learning and improvement, so that he can play for Real Madrid as soon as possible. This is the lack of communication."

This statement disappointed Gulaire's close friends. It was reported that his family had complained to the club, but Gulaire's cronies denied it and said his father could only speak Turkish.

In June this year, Real Madrid signed potential star Franco Mastantuno from Riverbed for a total transfer fee of 63.2 million euros. Considering that the two played in similar positions, the deal might be a threat.

But Guillail has been told that he will play in the middle of the midfield at the beginning of the 2025-26 season, just like he showed in the Club World Cup.

Gulaire himself seemed very happy. “The coach is working to give us better control of the game, which is better for me,” he said. "I'm happier because I play in the midfield and play well."

At the same time, Alonso also issued a statement of intention when talking about his management of young players. "It's time for Guillail to develop better," he said, "let him know he can make mistakes."

As the injury gradually improves, Alonso is full of confidence, and many inside and outside the club hope that this will eventually become the season of proof for Guillail.

Now, it depends on whether he can live up to these expectations.
