Rio Ferdinand Points to the Next Kroos, the Footballer Who Will Lead Madrid

Rio Ferdinand Has Revealed the Footballer Who Can Be Like Kroos or Modric at Real Madrid. The former Manchester United center-back is clear that Arda Güler has the necessary qualities for this. He is convinced that the Turk is more than capable of leading the play of the white team.

"Real Madrid Has a Problem: Toni Kroos Retired and Luka Modrić Isn't Getting Any Younger. This Madrid needs a controller, a manipulator, a rhythm creator. They have great players, but now they're missing this important ingredient in their squad," he began stating on his X account, a social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

It was then that he mentioned the former Fenerbahce player:  "Arda Güler Is Young and Physically Can Develop More.  Some players don't have to rely on physicality (Modric, Kroos, Iniesta, Scholes, Xavi, etc.). If they give him time and the right structure around him, he can provide the rhythm and control that the Madrid team needs," he concluded.

Authorized Voices from Valdebebas Share This Opinion. They believe that the good Arda develops his best game in the midfield area and insist that it has already been shown, as it happened against Getafe. Even, the dynamics of the Copa final change, in part, because of this footballer.

Will Have More Importance

It is true that Ancelotti has taken time to give him importance and leadership.  He, in fact, may have had a hard time, given that he didn't play as much as he wanted. However, he knows, and his environment also thinks, that he must be patient and remain calm.

After all, he is at the best club he can be. He is only 19 years old and has an entire career ahead to leave his legacy at Real Madrid.

In the locker room, they see him as one of the greatest promises in current soccer. Florentino Pérez and his closest associates don't even consider a possible sale or a loan. The confidence in him is maximum from the first day he arrived at the merengue entity.
