Jose Mourinho expressed his satisfaction with the physical and technical levels of a number of Real Madrid players during his first week with the team, with Gonzalo Garcia and Dejan Hoesen catching his attention more than others.
According to the Spanish newspaper AS, the 22-year-old Garcia arrived at the pre-season in top physical condition, exceeding the expectations of club officials. He received great praise for his activity, endurance and the level he delivers during training.
The Spanish striker is seeking to use the preseason period to convince Mourinho of his right to remain in the first team and to compete strongly for a place in the starting lineup during the new season.
Press reports revealed that Mourinho rejected the idea of letting go of Garcia during the transfer market after informing the club's management of his need for the young striker's services next season, believing in his potential and ability to make an contribution.
