Everyone is praising the Bears heel assists like Guti, but Real Madrid plays Red Bull, and the person who really looks like Guti, is rarely mentioned.

Real Madrid defeated Red Bull Salzburg 3-0, and the result was completely within our expectations. Even the score difference was generally in line with the strength comparison between the two sides. After the game, most people focused on the Bears' heel assist. If you are familiar with Real Madrid's past, you will know that Guti once performed similar famous scenes back then. In an interview, Alonso was asked which of these two assists is better, but he stood on Guti's side, after all, they were teammates at that time.

Actually, I think the Bear's assist is more difficult, but visually, it is not as casual as Guti. But you should know that the Bear was close to the defensive player at that time, so it was more difficult for him to make this move, with less space, and needed faster reactions and responses. The reason why Guti was calm back then was because Kaka was already very comfortable feeding him, and there were no defensive players around him. And Guti hit Benzema before the opponent came.

After all, this is just an impromptu juggling, and Guti's ability is far from being limited to this little thing. In fact, in Real Madrid's 3:0 Red Bull game, the person who really looks like Guti is rarely mentioned.

Is this game more worth mentioning, isn't it the straight pass that Bellingham gave the Bears?

This is Real Madrid's first goal. At that time, Bellingham got the ball in the backcourt and gave the Bears a very accurate pass to the center circle. The latter staged a single-player pass and scored the ball.

Okay, if the theme of this game is to pay tribute to Guti, then I have to say that Bellingham is the person who looks like Guti the most in Real Madrid. When I saw this ball, the first thing I thought of was the quarterfinals of the Champions League in 2002 to 2003. Real Madrid played against Manchester United away. Guti got the ball in the midfield and pushed a very comfortable pass along Ronaldo's running position. The latter scored at the penalty area line. This ball reflects Guti's insight and creativity. Compared to that heel assist, this is his regular output.

During the Galaxy Warship period, due to the gathering of Real Madrid's superstars, Guti did not have much room to play, and even played as a midfielder for a time. But as long as Guti is given a chance, he can show his offensive talent. This is also the reason why many old Real Madrid fans still miss Guti. After all, creativity is very scarce in this era.

Of course, Bellingham and Guti have different styles. He is more comprehensive, has stable output on both offense and defense, and can even play the role of center in the penalty area. He can be called the No. 1 Hexagonal Warrior in football today. It is precisely this comprehensive attribute that makes people ignore the occasional inspiration he makes. In fact, Bellingham is very creative. The hexagon always gives people a feeling of no long boards, but is it possible? It is because each board is very long, so I can't tell which one is more prominent?

To be honest, Bellingham's comprehensive quality is definitely above Guti. What Guti was criticized at that time was that he was too weak, both physically and mentally. But Bellingham is definitely at the warrior level in this regard. He has served as a key gentleman several times in two years since he came to Real Madrid. If Real Madrid will train players of an era in the next ten years, then Bellingham is the most suitable one.

You should know that Bellingham played with a long-term shoulder injury. It is said that after the Club World Cup, he will undergo surgery and will be absent for about three months. Perhaps, in October 2025, we will witness a brand new Bellingham.
