Recently, the current Spanish U17 coach Hernan Perez was interviewed by Le Ace, and he talked about his former disciple Gonzalo Garcia's outstanding performance at Real Madrid.

Remember the first time you met Gonzalo Garcia?

"I already knew something when he joined the team, because the previous year I watched a lot of youth B team games. He was one year younger than most players, but the club had high expectations for him, and I quickly understood why the club was so optimistic about him."

What attracted your attention

"His passion for work and a desire to learn and improve every day, this personality and ambition, coupled with his personal charm, made me feel that he would go more He was always polite and even a little shy, and everyone liked him very much. "

He was a left winger

" That was his position, but that year we started to get him closer to the goal because he was born with a talent for goals. This talent was born and difficult to obtain through training. "

" He had already scored a lot of headers on the wing and was good at cutting inward shots, and the club did a lot of work in this regard, and that year he started to be the center in a few games and became the best scorer, and later Aveloa And Raul also kept him in this position. "

What are his unique traits? "He performed very well on the court and had a deep understanding of the game. But his interest in tactics particularly attracted me. He often asked questions, watched videos, wanted to improve himself by learning."

"I have seen many young people as talented as Gonzalo, but he stood out with professionalism, dedication, ambition and determination to excellence. Many young people who were talented ultimately failed because they Lack of these qualities, and he has them all. "

As a No. 9 player, he is not tall. "He is 1.82 meters tall, but he is very smart, intuitive, and always focused when playing, which allows him to solve complex situations in the game. In addition, he has been curious about the game since he was a child, which allows him to read the game well. If a player is skilled but does not know how to play, it will be difficult for him to reach the highest level. "

Is his excellent heading talent?

" This is The result of many factors, talent, concentration, prediction, coordination and his understanding of the game make him always one step ahead of his opponent. Although he is not high, his thigh muscles, hamstrings and calf muscles are very developed, thanks to additional training and attention to injury prevention. "

Where do you think his ceiling is? "Very high, the higher the competitive level and the better the coach will make him grow faster. I think he can be a striker for Real Madrid for ten or twelve years. I know Real Madrid's requirements are high, but if given enough He will not be inferior to Haaland without this trust. Without this kind of trust, he may stagnate, but if there is confidence to support him, he can reach a very high level. "The national team also needs a No. 9 player

" There is no doubt that he can do it. Hope Morata can play for a few more years, but we have to find a successor, and Gonzalo Garcia is a good choice. "For him, it's better to leave or stay in Real Madrid. "My point is that young people need a lot of The game time, but he may not need to leave, because he can get a chance in the first team of Real Madrid. Barcelona lets young players play, they perform well. "

" There is no need to send them to a lower-level league to accumulate experience. I believe Gonzalo will be the same, but he must dare to give him a chance. If he is given 50 games, he can score 50 goals. "

It seems difficult to get Mbappe to be on the bench

" This is a challenge to Alonso, maybe he can send two people on the court at the same time, which will be very good for the team OK, I'm sure Gonzalo Garcia won't let people down."

You're very confident in him

" Because I know his abilities, some people compare him to Joseru now, but I think he is a more comprehensive player, arguably Joseru 2.0. Gonzalo Garcia not only plays forward, but also can move behind the 9th or on the wing, has strong shooting ability, excellent heading, and is very smart. He is very comprehensive.

He also pursues a double degree

"He lives in an orderly and sacrificial spirit. His family was also very wise and provided him with stable support. He knows his goals, and this mentality and environment are crucial to success. "

Are you surprised by Raul Asensio's progress? "No, I understand everyone's abilities, their progress depends on whether they can play. I have coached young players such as Yamal, Kubasi, Jacob Ramon, etc. They all have the potential to reach a high level, but they need a lot of games to grow. ”

" Sometimes we underestimate the local players, but in fact we have a lot of good young players. Barcelona has proven this, and Real Madrid's youth training camp has equally excellent players, they only need opportunities. ”
