Madrid: Former Real Madrid player Guti recently spoke about Kylian Mbappe’s role at the club on the show El Chiringuito. He believes it is crucial for Mbappe to become a leader on the pitch.
Guti stressed that Mbappe needs to overcome any insecurities that may prevent him from reaching his full potential. He pointed out that showing confidence in important moments, like taking penalties, is essential for Mbappe’s growth.
“Mbappe has to break with this insecurity now… and that is broken with this type of detail (taking a penalty),” Guti stated. He emphasized that these situations are not about pressure but about showing strength and the desire to lead.
By taking on such challenges, Mbappe could strengthen his role in the team and motivate his teammates. Guti believes that embracing these responsibilities is key to becoming a vital player at Real Madrid.
Guti also shared his thoughts on Mbappe’s recent performance against Liverpool. He mentioned that fans expect more from a player of Mbappe’s caliber, and missing a penalty has led to disappointment.
“Mbappe is not singled out at Liverpool for missing a penalty. He is singled out because we all expected more from him,” Guti explained. He noted that while missing a penalty might not seem significant, the expectations for Mbappe are high.
“Taking that penalty makes you stronger… It’s not an obligation. It’s about showing that character of wanting to take on the world,” he added. Guti firmly believes that Mbappe must rise to the occasion and become a leader.
Having played and coached at Real Madrid, Guti understands the high standards set for players. He is confident that Mbappe possesses the qualities needed to become the leader that fans desire.
Now, it remains to be seen if Mbappe can meet these expectations and prove his ability to guide the team during crucial moments.
