Former Real Madrid player Predrag Mijatović analyzed the team's current difficult situation on the "El Larguero" program of SER Radio.
Mijatović said: "I think what Real Madrid lacks now is a leader, not a player who can make a difference. I don't see a leader in the team who can stand up and shout 'What on earth are we doing?' Real Madrid needs leaders like Ramos, Modrić, Benzema, Fernando Hierro, and Raúl, the kind of leaders that the camera will focus on."
He then said, "Mbappé is a great player, but he's not a leader, just like Zidane wasn't a leader when he was in the French team. Zidane wasn't a leader at the time, but he was the best player on the team. Scoring goals doesn't make Mbappé a leader. In my era, the team's leader was Fernando Hierro, and as soon as he said something, you had to do it."
Mijatović also talked about the team's coaching issue, saying, "When Xabi Alonso left, I said that the team's problems might not lie with the coach, and I still think so now. Álvaro Arbeloa took over the reins; he may lack sufficient coaching experience, but he is a Real Madrid man, understands the players and the club, yet the team has once again shown signs of slackness."
"I think what we should be thinking about now is whether such problems can be solved by the coach. This is not the chairman's problem. I believe the players must wake up and think carefully about how to improve themselves."
"In the game against Benfica, it was evident that after conceding a goal, the team seemed completely unconcerned. They behaved as if they were the best in the world, as if nothing had happened. The team is now full of fatigue and slackness. I see no sign of fighting spirit, nor any hope."

You are just as infantile as Mbappe because you didn’t even understand what he said before writing your rubbish. What has leadership got to do with what you are trying to communicate?
No one expect you to understand anything little man .. you can only blame yourself for your own foolishness and lack of understanding so just move along Mr infantile junkie

At a point in a man’s life he has to realize when he’s become stupid .. you are saying the one person whose contributions is carrying the club and giving Madrid fans globally a reason to hope for more.. you’re saying Mbappe cannot do that so far .. nonsense.. you want him to be the super leader super goalscorer super everything before you acknowledge his true worth .. how someone can say this words to the most important player in the team at a moment they need everyone to pull their weight .. if Madrid crumble this season Mbappe is the only player that lift his head high in that team he does his job makes valuable contribution games after game pull one back, equalizers, match winners .. braces hatricks .. a player over performing yet you are finding faults .. what a joke

Mbappe is too infantile to be a leader in Madrid. Urging Madrid players not to form the traditional guard of honor for Barca in their Spanish Super Cup victory is not a mark of leadership
Madrid did make a guard of honor near the cave where they where told to make it from and Mbappe was telling them to move there

But how is Mbappe not a leader. He just told his team mates not to make the Guard of honor to Barcelona and they followed him. They can follow him if he tells them to compete and win matches uh!
Do you consider that a mark of leadership? That unsportsmanlike behavior is enough to tell reasonable people that he is not a leader.

Real Madrid have one of the best players in their respective position. Their problem is fatigue. Vinicius, mbappe, Bellingham, valverde, all are never substituted. They have fatigue.

Mbappe's problem is he wants to be THE only one recognized in any room. It cannot work at the RM level. He causes hierarchical confusion where ever he goes and it is worse at RM where player power is far too strong.

Read simple sentence this isnt about goal scoring and a leader .. there differences.. dont just pick pad and started punching words without no proper interpretation...
You really are an idiot and you should follow your own advice .. if you read what I wrote you’d see that I mentioned him wanting Mbappe to also be a leader .. why ?? Is there a stat that says your top player as to be the leader or a leader in the team .. you think Messi was a leader in the Barca squad at 25-26 others stepped up and took those roles while they acknowledge he was the team difference maker same with Cole Palmer same with hazard same with so many special players .. I condemn anyone insisting he because some thing when he’s showing the world game by game what he is .. THE DIFFERENCE MAKER .. full-stop If you can understand that then you just want to argue and look for ways to criticize the most valuable player to them in that squad and that’s wrong .. let others take on such roles and feel important too in the squad .. mbappe this Mbappe that leave him alone to shine

How do you disagree and agree in the same breath of sentence ? That was exactly what he said, lest your argument was a microcosm of his argument.
He said we need a leader but that’s not necessarily the problem. Read to understand. The leader he’s talking about can also be the coach but what if the players don’t listen to the coach? Take a case like Xavi Alonso, they disrespected him when he was trying to instilled some technical ideas. So what makes you think they won’t disrespect a player who’s the leader in the field?

I disagree with that. I think the problem is the players. They don’t want to run and attack as a team. They rely only opponents mistakes before they can collect the ball. The team is too slow. We need change of some players who can fight till the end like the era of Ramos, Modric etc
What's your disagreement then ? 🤣 that's what he is saying actually
