In a recent appearance on the show El Larguero, former Real Madrid star Pedja Mijatovic shared his insights on the burgeoning partnership between Kylian Mbappé and Arda Güler, while also naming the club’s two standout players this season.
After a period of adjustment, Güler has firmly established himself as a regular starter under coach Xabi Alonso, consistently showcasing his immense talent. The synergy between the young Turkish midfielder and French superstar Mbappé is particularly noteworthy; all six of Güler’s assists this season have been directed towards Mbappé, highlighting their growing rapport on the pitch. This connection has not gone unnoticed, but Mijatovic emphasized the need for caution regarding Güler’s development. During his segment on Cadena SER, he remarked, “He is a young player who is already making his mark as a starter, which is crucial for him. However, he must understand that at Real Madrid, there is always more to achieve. Especially until he earns the affection of everyone. He’s on the right path but needs to work even harder.”
Understanding the Dynamic Duo
Mijatovic praised Güler’s ability to adapt to the demands of playing for such a prestigious club. He stated, “If I were a player at Real Madrid, my first option would always be to look for Mbappé because he offers so many solutions. They complement each other very well.” This acknowledgment of their tactical understanding speaks volumes about Güler’s potential to thrive in a high-pressure environment.
A Model for Success
Furthermore, Mijatovic drew parallels between Güler and Luka Modric, who faced skepticism upon his arrival at Madrid but ultimately became a club legend. He advised Güler to see Modric as a role model: “Modric should be the mirror in which he looks at himself.” This comparison highlights the expectations placed on young talents at Real Madrid and the journey they must undertake to achieve greatness.
Additionally, Mijatovic did not shy away from discussing Jude Bellingham‘s impressive performances since joining the club. He confidently declared, “I believe he is the best player at Real Madrid alongside Mbappé. He inspires me with so much confidence.” This statement underscores Bellingham’s critical role in the team’s success and further illustrates the competitive landscape within the squad.
As Real Madrid continues its campaign in La Liga and beyond, fans will be eager to see how Güler and Bellingham further develop their talents alongside Mbappé. Will they rise to meet the lofty expectations set before them? Only time will tell.
