"Mbappe s substitute" counterattacked and took the lead!

Real Madrid coach Xavi Alonso recently made a decision: he proposed to the club management to stop looking for new top strikers and pin all his trust on the young genius trained by his youth training - Gonzalo Garcia!

According to the exclusive disclosure of the "Confidential" newspaper, Alonso was so determined to believe that the team no longer needed to introduce any strong forward support after witnessing Gonzalo Garcia's amazing performance in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. This hope star from the "Rafabrica" ​​youth training camp, contributed one goal and one assist in just two games in this event held in the United States, leaving a very deep impression. You know, before that, Gonzalo Garcia's name seemed a little strange to most fans and media. His debut for Real Madrid's first team was a flash goal against Alschalal, which instantly ignited the whole game.

In the subsequent match against Pachuca, the young scorer, born in 2004, once again showed extraordinary talent, and with a wonderful assist, he helped Real Madrid secure the victory 3-1. Garcia's mature performance completely conquered Alonso, prompting him to resolutely decide to suspend the club's previous plan to find a new "Nine".

Previously, Alonso had publicly stated that the club's release of Joselu last summer was a "wrong" decision, which made Real Madrid lose a crucial forward choice. At that time, the Spanish head coach believed that the team urgently needed a real "Nine" center. However, Gonzalo Garcian's direct and efficient game style, sensitive sense of goal, smart running consciousness and over-age on-field maturity completely conquered the coaching staff, especially Alonso himself. Garcia, who is 1.85 meters tall, not only has a variety of scoring methods, but also shows extremely high enthusiasm and desire for the game, which almost perfectly meets all Alonso's requirements for forward players.

Although he was only 21 years old, Garcia showed amazing confidence and calmness when competing with the big brothers of Vinicius and Rodrigo. Initially, Garcia was seen as a temporary substitute for Mbappe, who was absent due to injury. However, with his strong performance on the field, the rising star has now been included in a more important role consideration by Alonso, especially when the team needs to rotate, he will gain more opportunities and trust.
