\u201cThe coach always gives me peace of mind and confidence. He told me to be confident, to press well, to bother the centre-backs so that they couldn\u2019t come out with the ball and that when we had it we should try to fix the centre-backs. And inside the box, they took advantage of any opportunity that presented themselves to score a goal.\u201d<\/p>\n The young striker was also asked about making the jump from Castilla to the first team, and whether it has been a whirlwind experience for him to play alongside some of the best players in football.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not dizzying, no. In the end it is true that you go from playing for Castilla and watching your idols on TV to training with them and that, of course, impresses you. Then time goes by, you get used to it and what you are is very grateful to be able to share a dressing room with them, with the best players in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n Gonzalo is currently on duty with Spain\u2019s U21 side, although he has revealed that his goal is to make La Roja\u2019s squad for the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n \u201cI know there is a possibility and obviously, for me it\u2019s a dream, but if I haven\u2019t gone now it will be because I have to work much harder and earn the position. My ambition is always maximum. To be able to represent my country in a World Cup\u2026 It\u2019s a dream. As it will be for any other player.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The post “Always gives me confidence” – Real Madrid star delighted with Xabi Alonso impact<\/a> appeared first on Football Espa\u00f1a<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over the summer, Real Madrid unearthed their latest starlet from the La Fabrica academy: Gonzalo Garcia.
