Since his integration into the first team, Gonzalo García has had to make his place in a galactic squad, where the competition is as prestigious as it is demanding. Asked about El Larguerothe young 21-year-old striker did not hide the difficulty of establishing himself within the “best club in the world” according to him. “The competition is intense, because the best players are always there. But I have been at the training center for many years and I do not regret my decision”he said. Proud to represent Real Madrid, he considers this internal rivalry as additional motivation to progress.
Even symbolic details, such as the choice of jersey number, bear witness to this competition between the Casa Blanca attackers. García revealed he was hoping to reclaim the number 9 from Kylian Mbappé, before it was given to Endrick, while Mbappé inherited the number 10. “I wasn't going to complain. I'm happy to be part of the team, whatever my number.”he assured with humility. A remarkable state of mind from the young Madrilenian, which should please Xabi Alonso.
