“They have to play the best and Gonzalo is not better than Vinicius or Mbappé”

Xabi Alonso has in hand a type of selections that may mark the course of a event and in addition its place within the locker room.

This Wednesday at 9:00 p.m., Actual Madrid faces Paris Saint-Germain within the Semifinals of the Membership World Cup.

A recreation with an aroma at an early finish, loaded with aggressive rigidity and with a number of unknowns nonetheless to be resolved, particularly within the offensive entrance.

A kind of doubts revolves round who ought to occupy the title locations within the white assault, a problem that has ignited the controversy between followers and journalists.

On this context, Siro López has not bitten his tongue and, in his participation in Cope’s nice recreation, he made clear his opinion about how the Merengue coach ought to act.

“In Madrid as in all groups they should play one of the best and Mbappé is best than Gonzalo and Vinicius is best than Gonzalo so long as he’s not demonstrated in any other case,” he mentioned roundly.

“Then those who should play are one of the best and it’s what Xabi Alonso will do in a recreation through which you might be taking part in a last in opposition to a group of your degree, as a result of they logically should play one of the best if they’re recovered and Mbappé is recovered and due to this fact has to play as a starter,” concluded the journalist.

Gonzalo agitates the established order

Siro’s words arrive at a delicate moment, with Gonzalo García turned into the great revelation of the tournament.

The young striker, who seemed to have a foot and a half outside the club a few months ago, has responded with goals – four in five games – and an improper tactical maturity of his 20 years.

He has gained his place in the eleven, but the possible reappearance of Kylian Mbappé opens a different scenario.

Mbappé, already recovered from his gastroenteritis, asks for step, especially after his brilliant goal against Dortmund.

His emotional connection with the PSG, his exequipo, and his status of star figure placed it in the ideal showcase. And if Mbappé enters, the most likely sacrificed would be Gonzalo himself, despite his performance.

Vinicius, meanwhile, is untouchable within the team, although its level has not been the highest in this tournament. It is expected for the great appointment, and the new technical direction considers it a fundamental piece.

Everything indicates that, except surprise, the Brazilian will start this Wednesday with Kylian Mbappé.

The other option on the table would be to try to fit all three in the same offensive system. For that, Alonso would have to leave his successful 5-3-2 and risk with a 4-3-3 that has not worked with the same regularity.

That maneuver would also imply defensive adjustments, such as placing Tchouaméni on the rear or renouncing Arda Güler, who has shone in the center of the field.

Siro López has put voice to what many think within Real Madrid: in the big nights, the ones that offer the most guarantees must be.

“They have to play the best,” he said. And for him, the equation is clear: Gonzalo, no matter how much dazzle, has not yet surpassed Vinicius or Mbappé. Which does not mean that you can have minutes and end up being key in the second half of the match.

The last word will be from Xabi Alonso. But do whatever you do, the debate is served. And it will be even more when it rolls the ball in the Metlife Stadium.
