Eric Garcia started last week in Barcelona’s first pre-season competition and scored the first goal of the new season team.
The goal and the start, unnecessary to say, were well deserved in view of the important role he played for the club towards the end of last season.
In January the defender was about to leave the club until Flick had a personal conversation with him about the role he had for him and the potential of winning four trophies.
Garcia remained, then played an important role as a back-up center-back and Pivot, and eventually settled as the starting back of the team after Jules Kounde was injured and excited.
Ready for more
As passed on by SPORT In a recent report, Flick Garcia told that he wants to improve the status of the player both in the dressing room and on the field this season and the defender hopes to hand over more minutes.
To start with, he will be Barcelona’s back-back back behind Jules Kounde and will see it for minutes as part of regular rotations.
Furthermore, he will also serve as a handy piece to throw in the central defense or the turning position based on the need.
In the coming season, Barcelona will enjoy Garcia more, and the player could develop a healthy rotation balance with regular minutes.
Last season, the 24-year-old 29 league matches, including 14 starts for Barcelona in different positions and he achieved two goals and three assists in that duration.
Although he was not a traditional full-back, he connected well with Lamine Yamal on the flank and covered well defensively to earn his place as the first choice of replacement rightback.
In fact, he scored two goals and offered an assist in Barcelona’s last five games of the season. Given his performances, the defender will have an increased fame in the new season.
