Real Madrid Confidencial Gonzalo sends Real Madrid through and wins even more hearts after the final whistle: 'I just want...'
The forward has scored three goals and provided one assist in the four Club World Cup matches
Gonzalo García is unstoppable in this Club World Cup. His header was decisive in securing a place in the quarterfinals and he already has three goals and one assist in four matches. At the end of the match against Juventus, the youth academy product said that he feels very proud of what he is doing, but that they have to keep going.
"To leave the field to a standing ovation is an unbelievable feeling. I'm very happy about the goal, but even more so about the victory and about how the team has worked. We've fought until the end and I'm very happy about reaching the quarterfinals", he told "Real Madrid TV".
"I saw a great ball coming from Trent down the wing and I saw that Rüdiger didn't finish it. I said this one's mine and with all my strength I tried to put it in. It doesn't matter if I score it with my head, my knee, or whatever", Gonzalo added when asked about his goal.
Gonzalo García, the '9' who was already at home
"I keep the happiness I felt in that moment and with scoring one more goal in this jersey. I'm more than excited", the Real Madrid striker explained.
Gonzalo emphasized that, although he was very happy, what matters most to him is to keep contributing. "I'm very happy about the three goals and the assist, but it doesn't mean anything. The most important thing is that we're showing as a team a great attitude and great work", he explained.
"We knew it was going to be an intense match from the start. We went from less to more. The game was played with rhythm with the ball, moving it from side to side, tiring out the opponent and trying to get to the opponent's box as much as possible to try to score more goals", he highlighted.
Comparisons with the great Raúl González
Moreover, Gonzalo García has been receiving comparisons in recent days with the great Raúl González. The striker was asked about those comments and didn't hide his excitement to the media.
"It's a compliment. For me, those are big words. I had the opportunity to spend two years with him as coach and he taught me a lot", Gonzalo concluded.
