Madrid analyst slams Real Madrid players: 'A team with no spirit... and Mbappé is no Ronaldo'

Roncero continued, “A team that lets things slide is a team that has lost its spirit. No matter how much quality it has, that’s not enough.”

He emphasised, “I want leaders. People who don’t just shout, but motivate others to take action. What we saw with Valverde on the day against City was very clear. He’s the sort who shouts and gets angry if La Liga is slipping away.”

He noted, “I forgive Mbappé a lot, because he scores plenty of goals and saves us in many matches, but on days like today, when he had three chances and missed them only for the keeper to shine, I didn’t see him stand up. I didn’t see him say ‘I’m here’ as Cristiano used to.”

He added, “The quality of the players is starting to wear me down. I don’t know if I want all this quality. What I want are winners, and Real Madrid need winners. They need to change half the squad.”

He concluded, “We don’t have winners; we have good individual players, but they lack the spirit that drives the team. They can’t bang on the lockers in the dressing room… They’ll just keep staring at their phones, to see if Atlético win tonight, and it doesn’t matter, because they’ll lose later to Girona. That’s what they’ve done all year. I’m sorry.”
