Real Madrid has secured qualification for the round of 16 of the Club World Cup in first place in its group. It did so after a resounding victory over Salzburgo, having claimed a convincing 3-0 win (0-3). Vinícius, Valverde, and Gonzalo García scored, who have been key for Xabi Alonso's side to stay alive in the competition with a strong chance of winning it.
Tomás Roncero's request
After the match, Roncero spoke on his X account, formerly known as Twitter. The journalist was emphatic, praising one figure in particular: Gonzalo García. The youth player, who seemed to be out of Real Madrid, has earned his continuity through goals, starting during Mbappé's absence.
Gonzalo García has scored again, making things very difficult for Xabi Alonso. After netting the final 3-0 (0-3), Tomás Roncero stated: "Gooooooooool from our GOLDEN youth player. Legendary chip from Gonzalo García. A goal to frame".
In this regard, Roncero didn't stop there, being clear with Xabi Alonso: "This kid is here to stay. Let's gooo!!!".
Gonzalo García, the new Joselu
Having arrived at Real Madrid, the new coach has made it clear behind closed doors that a backup '9' is needed to provide a different profile from what's already there. He has been clear at all times, asking for a 'Joselu profile' to come on in the final minutes and be able to change everything with just his presence.
There have been many rumors, indicating that Budimir, Osasuna's striker, was an option. Despite this, it seems increasingly clear that Madrid won't go to the market. Gonzalo García is the solution at home, responding with goals every chance he gets and showing that La Fábrica has a bright future.
Roncero has been very clear on his social media: there's no need to sign another '9', Gonzalo García is enough. At 21 years old, he comes from being the top scorer in Primera Federación, showing that he has a killer instinct. So far, the Spaniard has clearly outperformed an Endrick who seems to be losing steam.
It remains to be seen what will happen, but Tomás Roncero's request leaves no room for doubt. It's necessary to trust the youth academy, which can produce great talents like Gonzalo García. Now it's the Tolosa native who has to decide what he wants to do.
