The only highlight of Real Madrid! The 21-year-old young player scored his first goal in the Alonso era, and he was Joseru 2.0

After signing Heisen and Arnold, Real Madrid will also introduce a left-back, a midfielder and a Joselu-like center. As of now, Joselu 2.0 is in the team, he is 21-year-old Gonzalo Garcia - the first round of the Club World Cup group stage, Real Madrid draws Riyadh Crescent 1-1, and Gonzalo Garcia scores the first goal of the Alonso era.

Gonzalo Garcia

As a native of Madrid, Gonzalo Garcia has trained in SEK, San Balvala and Jalamarasse. In 2014, he joined Real Madrid Youth Training Academy (Lafabrica). At the beginning, he received great praise for his speed and football business. After careful polishing by Aveloa (current coach of Real Madrid Castia), he grew into an efficient center.

Gonzalo Garcia grabbed the ball

In the 2022/23 season, Gonzalo Garcia scored 35 goals for Real Madrid Youth A. After that, he was promoted to Real Madrid Castia and often received the attention of Ancelotti. In the 14th round of La Liga in 2023/24, Real Madrid defeated Cadiz 3-0, and Gonzalo Garcia made a substitute in the 78th minute and made her first-team debut.

Last season, Gonzalo Garcia ushered in a big explosion. He played 36 times for Castia, not only winning the Golden Boot Award in the Spanish League, but also tied the single-season goal record set by Mariano Dias (in the 2015/16 season, Mariano Dias scored 26 goals for Castia).

Gonzalo Garcia scored a goal

After the season, Gonzalo Garcia received invitations from Vigo Celta and Getafe, and Real Madrid was willing to sell half of his ownership, but with Xavi Alonso taking office, the young center ushered in a turning point. From the first day of taking office, Xavi Alonso clearly informed the club that he would reuse youth training players, and in the process of finding "Joselu 2.0", he also quickly locked in Gonzalo Garcia.

In fact, Gonzalo Garcia is less than 1.85 meters tall, but he is good at jumping and strong in the top, and has many similarities with his senior brother Joselu. This time against Riyadh Crescent, Mbappe was unable to play due to a cold, Gonzalo Garcia made the start and scored the first goal of the Alonso era.

Looking at the entire game, Gonzalo Garcia completed 3 shots, 3 successful top-ups and 1 pass. In the final stage of the first half, he even appeared in the right forward position, completing 2 clearances and 1 blockade. His full commitment to the game also reminds people of Joselu. After the game, Gonzalo Garcia was officially named "The Best Player of the Game" by FIFA. In this slightly dull draw, he is also Real Madrid's only highlight.
