Real Madrid youth training center became famous in one fell swoop! He participated in one goal every 75 minutes and was expected to inherit the No. 9 jersey

In the third round of the Club World Cup group stage, Real Madrid defeated Salzburg 3-0, and then advanced to the top 16 with the record of the group. In this game, Gonzalo Garcia started and scored 1 goal in the second half. Looking at the entire group stage, the youth training center scored 2 goals and 1 assist, perfectly competed for the "No. 9 position". In the eyes of many Real Madrid fans, Gonzalo Garcia is "New Joselu".

Last summer, Joseru joined Galafa with a high salary, while Mbappe, who took over the No. 9 jersey, was fixed in the center position. In terms of type, Mbappe and Joseru are completely different. Although the former has a high goal production (Mbappe is the winner of the European Golden Boot Award), once he faces the "Iron Barrel Formation", his shortcomings of heading are infinitely magnified. As a traditional "No. 9 position", Joseru is very good at fighting in the top and fighting in the penalty area.

In fact, as early as after Joselu left the team, Ancelotti proposed to the management to introduce a Joselu-like high center forward, but in order to train Enderick, Florentino (Chairman) and Sanchez (General Manager) both rejected An Shuai's proposal. But from the perspective of actual combat, Enderick is not a traditional "No. 9 position". He is not good at taking the ball with his back and his heading skills are not good.

In the quarter-finals of the Cup REE at the beginning of the year, Gonzalo Garcia made a substitute and won the finale at the last moment. His appearance actually provided Ancelotti with a solution, but the stubborn and conservative Italians still turned a deaf ear.

The entire 2024/25 season, Gonzalo Garcia scored 25 goals in the Spanish League One, tying the second team's single-season goal record held by Mariano. Teams such as Celta, Getafe and Alaves are very interested in him.

It was thought that Real Madrid would buy a new center this summer and sell Gonzalo Garcia, but with Xavi Alonso taking office, everything changed. In the three Club World Cup group stages, Gonzalo Garcia made the starter, and in the 225 minutes he made a total of 225 minutes, he contributed 2 goals and 1 assist, and averaged 1 goal every 75 minutes.

After the final round of the group stage, Gonzalo Garcia also received praise from the head coach: "He is a traditional No. 9 player, he reminds me of Raul, he can stand in the position well and help the team. In fact, I was not surprised by his performance, because I paid attention to his performance when he played for Castia."

Gonzalo Garcia and Magic Flute

It is reported that another striker, Enderick, will meet with the main force on the weekend, but from the moment, he obviously cannot shake Gonzalo Garcia's position. After the Club World Cup, Mbappe will take over the No. 10 jersey, and the No. 9 jersey he has vacated may be handed over to Gonzalo Garcia.
