Real Madrid fans are shocked by the team’s new number nine

Real Madrid has selected a new number nine, and it is not Endrick. Although the historic 9 shirt is now available, Gonzalo Garcia appears to be the one to inherit it, despite initial anticipation that Kylian Mbappé would take over the storied number 10.

Following an outstanding Club World Cup campaign in which he scored four goals and provided one assist in six games, the teenage attacker has been gaining significant momentum. This recent run of success, according to AS, persuaded the club’s administration that Garcia, not Endrick, is currently the best candidate to wear the number nine shirt.

Although there were some supporters who thought Endrick would emulate Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, this change in strategy highlights Real Madrid’s approach of rewarding successful play. Garcia’s ascent signals a risky choice and a new era in the team’s attacking history.
