Ancelotti’s Bold Move: Placing His Faith in 19-Year-Old Real Madrid ‘Jewel’ to Boost Striker Line

Castilla striker Gonzalo Garcia will likely play for Real Madrid under coach Carlo Ancelotti in the forthcoming home match against Getafe, according to the Spanish daily MARCA.

Real Madrid’s assault has suffered significantly as a result of Vinicius’ injury, both in terms of quality and quantity.

In terms of the latter, the Brazilian’s absence (combined with Arda Guler’s absence since pre-season) has significantly shrunk the source of attacking players available at Ancelotti’s disposal.

The options now focus on Rodrygo, Joselu and Brahim Diaz as the remaining three striker options.

Who is Gonzalo Garcia?Over the next month and a half, Ancelotti plans to explore the talents of Raúl’s Castilla team to strengthen Real Madrid’s forward line, not only during training but also in actual matches.

The element of surprise could revolve around Garcia, the standout striker who made his remarkable debut for Castilla last Sunday, scoring a brace against Melilla.

The 19-year-old received training instructions from Ancelotti today and is likely to secure a spot in the squad for the upcoming match against Getafe.

Garcia is a key character in Castilla’s ‘Quinta de Nico’, part of Juvenil A’s triumph over Alvaro Arbeloa’s ‘generation of triplets’ from last season.

Currently, under Raul’s guidance, these talented individuals are rising up the ranks of the club. Garcia’s remarkable contribution from last season has helped him emerge as a Pichichi awardee, an achievement punctuated by an impressive record of 35 goals and six assists.

What kind of player is Gacria?The 19-year-old exhibits impressive versatility in attack, being able to successfully fill a range of roles such as left winger, right winger, second striker, and centre striker, according to Real Madrid Fabrica.

Additionally, Garcia has shown himself to be a threat in open play situations and a dangerous force in transition. He efficiently uses his body to create space while gripping the ball and protecting the opponent, making good use of his physical power.

With Juvenil A, he won the league championship, the Copa del Rey, and the Copa de Campeones. Such is his talent to score that last season, he was directly involved in 25% of Juvenil A’s goals.

Overall, the 19-year-old’s strong start to the current campaign has been compared to his impressive run with Juvenil A last season, highlighting his constantly excellent style.
