Real Madrid legend Mijatovic accepted an exclusive interview with Spain's Serb Radio, during which he talked about topics such as Real Madrid coach Alonso and youth training star Gonzalo.

Mijatovic said: "We are used to introducing players from outside and neglecting to discover rookies from the echelon, so (the rise of Gonzalo) I personally feel very happy."

"After so many years, Real Madrid has not actually promoted valuable players from the youth training echelon who can gain a foothold in the first team. Now, under the leadership of Alonso, I believe it is time to change."

"Gonzalo exploded at this most suitable time. In fact, all teams need a No. 9 shooter. This is the type Real Madrid has been looking for. Just like Morientes, he can seize 8 times in 10 opportunities."

Regarding the performance of Real Madrid midfielder, Mija commented: "What are the shortcomings of this Real Madrid? First of all, you must respect Alonso's three-center-back system. I believe he has more choices. I think Real Madrid's midfield is still lacking some creativity. We may be used to seeing Modric and Kroos dominate the past 10 years. Is there Modric or Kroos in the market? No more. "

"This Real Madrid has a good system. Alonso quickly decided who he wants to stay and not want who he doesn't want. This is very important. I am optimistic about Real Madrid led by Alonso. He dares to inject his football philosophy into the team, and he has played for this team as a player. He knows very well about Real Madrid."

"Alonso trusts young players, and we have witnessed it with his own eyes. He has no problem with using young players. Alonso knows that after a long season, some important players are already exhausted, so he wants to proceed step by step. Alonso has a very personality, which is very important for being the head coach of Real Madrid. "
