Guler scored in Saturday's win against Girona, which Ancelotti hopes can help the midfielder's confidence.
He said, "Arda struggled a bit to get into the game, in the second half he made a fantastic run, a fantastic goal, he worked hard, he ran a lot, the goal took a bit of pressure off him.
"He's a youngster who has a lot of pressure around him and this goal did him good."
