The Tragedy of Garnacho

Garnacho was once expected to become a big star at MU.

Garnacho is a symbol of the faith that MU has placed in the young generation. In 2 consecutive seasons, he played 108 matches - an incredible number for a player under 21 years old, in the context of MU owning a series of wingers such as Jadon Sancho, Antony, Marcus Rashford or Amad Diallo.

At Old Trafford, not many young players have been given such a chance. But instead of appreciating it, Garnacho chose to leave in a noisy way just because he was not a starter in the Europa League final at the end of last season.

In the final against Tottenham, coach Ruben Amorim trusted Mason Mount to play the left wing. Garnacho reacted strongly, then publicly expressed his attitude on social media. A status full of hidden meanings, Garnacho was even said to have threatened to "go to Chelsea, or sit out for 6-12 months". And so, MU's confidence collapsed in an instant.

The Blues quickly appeared as usual in the dreamy stories in the transfer market. The West London team seized the opportunity and opened their arms to welcome Garnacho, promising a new future and opportunities.

But the "blue dream" turned out to be not as sweet as imagined. Since the beginning of the season, he has hardly contributed. After 6 matches on the field, the Argentine player has not had a goal or an assist. With talented young players like Estevao, Marc Guiu or Jamie Bynoe-Gittens shining, Garnacho's position is no longer guaranteed.

The proof is that Garnacho sat out Chelsea's 5-1 win over Ajax in the Champions League qualifying round on October 23. Before that, the Argentine midfielder started but only played 45 minutes in Chelsea's 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. For two consecutive matches, Garnacho was like "extra" in London.

Garnacho is struggling at Chelsea.

Football always has a place for talent, but never for rashness. Garnacho forgot that patience is sometimes the most important part of the journey to maturity.

At Old Trafford, Garnacho had everything: faith, a devoted fan base, and a manager willing to build a team around youth. Instead of learning to bide his time, he took the easy way out and left to assert himself.

In fact, every big star has had his moment of trial. Cristiano Ronaldo, whom Garnacho idolized, was a substitute and started just 15 Premier League games in his first season. He also endured plenty of criticism before becoming a legend. Talent takes time to hone, pride only needs a few minutes to destroy itself.

At 21, Garnacho has his whole career ahead of him. But the question is, is he humble enough to learn from his mistakes? Football is a game of time. Those who wait are the ones who truly mature.

If he doesn’t improve his form soon, Garnacho could be swallowed up by the fierce competition at Chelsea. In an environment where there are at least two stars competing for every position, just a moment of complacency could see him pushed to the sidelines.

At Stamford Bridge, pride cannot save anyone. On the contrary, only effort and courage can help a young player stand firm among the stars. If he is kicked out of Chelsea at the end of the season, it will be a real tragedy for Garnacho.
