He believes Gonzalo has shown great dedication and deserves to play for the first team. Morientes thinks that youth players must work hard to gain playing time and be considered for the first team. Gonzalo has achieved this and is now a valuable player for the team.
According to Morientes, if Real Madrid were to look for a new centre-forward, they would have to spend a significant amount of money. He thinks that Gonzalo's contract is a good fit for the team. Gonzalo will have the opportunity to play and make an impact, and his performance in the Club World Cup has been impressive.
Morientes also suggested that young player Endrick should go on loan to gain more playing experience. This would allow Gonzalo to take over Endrick's role and become a key player for the team.
