Real Madrid genius left the team voluntarily. Why is he so determined at the age of 20? He has a promising return in the future!

While most young players were still waiting for opportunities on the bench of the giants, Alvaro made an unexpected decision - to take the initiative to leave Real Madrid. The 20-year-old striker said bluntly: "I am 20 years old and I must leave. I cannot wait for the first team for too long." Behind this sober speech is a young player's profound thoughts on his career and a strong response to the current impetuous atmosphere in football.

Alvaro's story starts with the Madrid derby in 2023. He scored a key goal under the gaze of the bench and became the focus of media overnight. However, becoming famous brings not only applause, but also invisible pressure. He admitted that the sudden attention made him at a loss and his competitive state fluctuated accordingly. This experience made him understand a cruel reality: in a wealthy club, temporary shining is far less important than stable performance.

This high center forward, 1.90 meters tall, has unique physical conditions and is a scarce front line template for modern football. But Alvaro has a clear understanding of his shortcomings - technology still needs to be polished and his ending ability needs to be improved. During the loan period of Getafe last season, the data of contributing only 3 goals and 1 assist in 26 games was obviously not up to expectations. He reflected that the first team's training intensity was insufficient due to the intensive schedule, which actually led to his condition decline. This kind of frank self-analysis is rare among young players.

Alvaro's growth trajectory reflects the characteristics and limitations of Real Madrid's youth training system. At Castia, he received careful guidance from coach Raul, and high-intensity training kept his physical condition in the best. But once you enter the first team environment, the weaknesses of lack of self-discipline and retraining awareness will be fully exposed. This kind of clear understanding of his own shortcomings is precisely an important reason why he chose to leave. As he said: "My dream is to play for Real Madrid, but I have to leave first for this. "

Latest news shows that La Liga newly promoted Elche is about to become Alvaro's next stop. The relegation team ranked third in the Spanish Second Division last season and needed a high-altitude bomber like Alvaro. Each of the three-party deals is needed: Elche gets the much-needed front firepower, Real Madrid retains control of the players' future, and Alvaro has gained the coveted main position and practical training opportunities.

There are many successful cases of "save the country on a curve" in the history of Real Madrid youth training. Joselu returned to the Bernabeu after wandering outside for many years and scored key goals last season; Mayoral's value soared through loan training. The experiences of these seniors tell Alvaro: a temporary departure may be the best way to return. He set a clear goal for himself: to achieve 10+ goals in La Liga in the next 2-3 years, and at the same time prove that he has the ability to output stably.

Alvaro's choice demonstrates a rare maturity. When his peers were still complacent about staying in a wealthy family, he already understood that real growth requires practical tempering. He fully understands the decision of the coaching staff to give Gonzalo Garcia the opportunity. This mentality of not complaining and focusing on one's own progress is the essential qualities of excellent players.

In today's football world, more and more young players are addicted to the fame of the wealthy and are willing to waste their time on the bench. Alvaro's courage to do the opposite may be more valuable than any trophy. His story reminds us: Sometimes, the experience away from the spotlight is the shortcut to success.

When Alvaro stepped on Elche's turf, he still pretended to be the dream of the Bernabeu. This 20-year-old genius proves with his actions that a true ambitious man is never afraid of temporary withdrawal. Is his choice right or wrong? Time will give the best answer. But at least, he lets us see the sanity and courage that young players rarely have. In this impetuous era, this soberness itself is a victory.
