Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso had previously said of Arda Güler, “He's a mix of Mesut Özil and Guti. Guti had the ability to play closer to the action, but he could also deliver that difficult final pass.” Guti, one of the legends of the Spanish giants, responded to Xabi Alonso's comments ahead of the match between Real Madrid and Juventus.
Speaking to DAZN, Guti said, "I agree. Mesut Özil retired, and so did I... Let's see what he does, but that mix is right. Xabi Alonso explained it very well. He can play as an attacking midfielder, deliver the final pass, push forward, and score goals. But you can also position him in midfield to help keep the ball in play. In that sense, he has the ability to do anything with the ball."
