Guti’s reflection on the private lives of footballers: “Everyone stops them. They have no personal life”
Regarding his private life as a Real Madrid player, the former soccer player remembers that when international players were called up it was “your time to air out and forget about football” for those who were not called up by their national teams.
“Forget about football… They gave you three or four days off and you left football aside and focused on other, more personal things of yours, which is often necessary when they play Wednesday, Sunday… and the national team,” Guti explained.
The Torrejón de Ardoz coach highlighted that “these breaks are good and you can do what you want. It is better to do what you want, because they will always criticize you no matter what you do.
“The private life of a footballer does not exist. The private life of Mbappé, Cristiano, Messi… does not exist. They do not go down to collect the letters from the mailbox and no one stops them to take a photo. Everyone stops them. They have no personal life “, he stated.
