After Vinicius Junior’s injury which will prevent him from playing for at least two months, Real will call on a youngster.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has consistently defended his record in recruiting young players by saying such brutal competition for places means any young talent has a difficult task getting their foot in the door. The door seems a little more open than it has in many years.
After Vinicius Junior’s injury kept him out for at least two months, Ancelotti was once again forced to opt for a makeshift attacking trio. Rodrygo Goes will likely be moved back to the left side of the attack, with Joselu Mato replacing Vinicius, and Jude Bellingham behind. In the absence of Arda Guler, Brahim Diaz is the only alternative available to Ancelotti.
The Italian could therefore turn to Real Madrid Castilla to strengthen his offensive options. Alvaro Rodriguez has fallen down the pecking order and Nico Paz is a talented option, but he is not used to playing at the forefront of the attack. According to Cadena SER, It is the nugget Gonzalo Garcia Torres who has the best chance of making the jump.
Last season, Garcia Torres scored 35 goals for Alvaro Arbeloa’s under-19 team, and joined Raul Gonzalez’s Castilla team, where he started all but one match, and scored four goals in 12 appearances. At 19 years old, Garcia stands out for the intensity of his game, his ability to pass and beat his opponent. He is seen as the most natural option if Ancelotti wants to turn to youth.
