Real Madrid Confidencial Juanma Castaño's response about Luis de la Fuente and Gonzalo: 'The criticism...'
Juanma Castaño hasn't remained silent regarding Luis de la Fuente's words about Gonzalo
Real Madrid is focused on the Club World Cup, aware that tonight it will play against PSG at Metlife Stadium for a spot in the final.
However, Luis de la Fuente has put Gonzalo García, the top scorer of the world tournament, in the spotlight in recent hours.
"He's earning the right to be a national team player in the future, but what's important is not to rush or act impulsively. For short-term or immediate performance. He hasn't played a single second in the First Division (Primera División). As they say in my hometown, you have to do a bit of military service to earn the chance and the right to occupy positions held by very top-level players. I hope there are many Gonzalos, Huijsen, or Lamine who can guarantee us a future and a present," said Spain's coach.
As expected, these words have not pleased Madridists, since Luis de la Fuente has once again shown his lack of empathy with Real Madrid's players, something that Lucas Vázquez, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Nacho Fernández, Joselu, Fran García, or Raúl Asencio have already experienced in the past.
The Spanish coach has asked for "military service" from a footballer who has already debuted in the First Division (Primera División) and is excelling in the Club World Cup, a tournament in which not everyone can participate.
Juanma Castaño defends him
Beyond this controversy, Juanma Castaño has wanted to defend Luis de la Fuente, although his argument lacks strength.
"There hasn't been a draft yet in which Gonzalo has been called, after emerging as he has in this Club World Cup. That is, people are criticizing Luis de la Fuente today, when we still don't know if he'll take him in September," explained the COPE journalist.
These words aim to justify the coach, although the anger of Madridists with him has little to do with the next international break's draft.
The annoyance of the white fans has to do with the disregard for Gonzalo, something that doesn't happen with Barcelona footballers.
