Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Garcia Torres has demonstrably been the story of the club World Cup for Los Blancos. Last season he was the same as the record number of goals in a season for Real Madrid Castilla (25), and he hit the ground in the first team under Xabi Alonso.
The Basque manager chose to start Garcia in their opening match against Al-Hilal, in which he scored. In his second game there were also many nice details and he helped Arda Guler's goal against Pachuca. There has been a suggestion that he convinces Alonso that he can be part of the first team next season. Real Madrid's original plan was to Cash N Garcia this summer.
Speaking for their last group game with RB Salzburg, Garcia told Diario because he did not think about his future at the moment. However, he made it clear that he wanted to stay.
“No, not at all. It's not time. Whether I stay or not, will depend on the club, the manager. It is for the future (laughs).”
“I've been here for a long time. It's a dream. The goal and the desire is to be part of the first team.”
Real Madrid are supposedly considering a movement for a typical number nine, after the absence of Joselu Mato this season.
“It is a compliment to be compared with him. Playing his role? I don't know. It is due to what the manager sees in terms of what I am able and what I can contribute.”
As one of the players who so far benefit the most from the arrival of Alonso, it was no surprise that he spoke positively about the impact of the Basque.
“Yes, I saw him in this shirt. He wakes up his values and his best to achieve the maximum number of victories. We have not been together for long, but he has tried to do his best to approach this competition in the best possible way.”
