The Story of The Midfielder Who Physically COULDN’T Make A Normal Pass

At his best he had a mix of Xavi’s vision, Zidane’s flair, and Iniesta’s playmaking.He's one of the most creative and unique playmakers the game has ever seen. But have you ever wondered why he's never really discussed up there on the top echelon of football Maestros?
Guti had the talent that could rival even the greatest playmakers in history. Yet he never really became a legend like Zidane, Xavi, Pirlo,or Iniesta because of his biggest weakness - himself.

[@achimsinn6189]

Reus wasn't screwed because of being loyal, but because of untimely injuries. He was supposed to become Germanies main player for the world championship 2014, but got injured in the last game before the tournament, because of which he didn't become world champion. After that he also missed the european championship 2016 due to an injury which means the first world or european championship tournament he played for Germany was that awfull 2018 tournament. Then he wasn't playing in the 2021 european championship because he wanted to avoid risking another injury by stressing his body with an additional tournament and lastly he missed the 2022 worldcup due to another injury.

Because Madrid is the highest you can be as a footballer. He probably didn’t want a downgrade. Imagine being in his shoes, being aware of your own skills and to be on par with the likes of Zidane, Kaka, Sneijder etc. coming from youth Madrid team basically being a senior player because u have always been there.
