Guti believes that individuals’ egos are somewhat response. As per Marca, he will expect big things if that problem can be managed.

“I hope this generation wins more than ours. We had a great squad, but this generation has a lot of talent to win more things. It’s difficult to achieve it when there are so many egos in the dressing room, that’s Ancelotti’s big task.”
