3 games, 2 goals and 1 assist! World Sports: Gonzalo Garcia is becoming a key player in Real Madrid s Club World Cup

According to the Spanish media "World Sports", Gonzalo Garcia is becoming a key figure in Real Madrid's Club World Cup.

Club World Cup is crucial to Real Madrid in both athletic and economic aspects, and has also become a test field for Xavi Alonso as Real Madrid coach.

Gonzalo Garcia takes advantage of the opportunities offered by the team's current transitional environment. Gonzalo Garcia became Alonso's choice at the No. 9 position when Enderick suffered a hamstring muscle injury and Mbappe was unable to participate in the Club World Cup due to acute gastroenteritis.

data confirm Alonso's choice. In three starts, Gonzalo Garcia contributed 2 goals and 1 assist. He scored his first-game goal against Riyadh Crescent, assisted Guerrel to score against Pachuca and scored a lock-in goal against Red Bull Salzburg, which showed his excellent run, steal and a brilliant "spoon". Gonzalo Garcia, who played in the Club World Cup for a total of 225 minutes, directly scored one goal every 75 minutes.

Although Gonzalo Garcia showed a very high level during the absence of Mbappe and Enderick, this has not yet won him a place in the roster of Xavi Alonso next season, although calls for him to get more opportunities within Real Madrid have grown.

When asked about Gonzalo Garcia's future, Alonso said: "Now we are focused on the Club World Cup, focusing on the existing players. Obviously, the Club World Cup will give you some inspiration, but there is no decision yet."

"To be honest, Gonzalo Garcia's performance is not that surprising to me because I closely tracked Castilla (performance). Gonzalo Garcia is the typical No. 9 player, he reminds me of Raul in some ways, always waiting for opportunities, and always helping the team with excellent work ethics. We ask and expect him to do more."

Gonzalo Garcia's performance is in contrast to the doubts raised by Rodrigo, whose future is also uncertain, although Alonso insists that he is a very important player. Rodrigo did not get a chance to play in the second round against Pachuca and again served as a substitute against Salzburg Red Bull, playing for only 23 minutes. After the final whistle, Xavi Alonso approached Rodrigo and showed care for him, which showed that the coach was caring for him in order to achieve his best condition. At the same time, the diligent Gonzalo Garcia began to spark discussions within Real Madrid.
