The head coach of Madrid's "Real" team, Xabi Alonso, shared his thoughts on whether he is ready to field forwards Kylian Mbappe and Gonzalo Garsia at the same time. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The 21-year-old Spanish player has filled in well for the star Frenchman, who has been absent from games due to illness. Recently promoted from the "Castilla" team to the main squad, the forward has three goals and one assist in four matches at the Club World Cup.
Now Alonso faces a difficult choice: whether to drop Garsia from the starting lineup when Mbappe returns. Journalists asked the coach if it would be possible to play both forwards at the same time.
Alonso said: "Yes, they can play together, but it depends on the situation and the current needs of the team. They can complement each other.
If such a tactic is appropriate, I absolutely do not reject it." Today at 23:00, the quarter-final match of the Club World Cup will take place. There, "Real" will compete against Dortmund's "Borussia."
This match is of great importance for the teams, and the coaches are approaching the choice of tactics with caution. Alonso pays great attention to his team's playing style and the coordination of the forwards.
