Eric García’s difficult start to the season at Barcelona has gotten even worse in Monaco. Hansi Flick gave him his first opportunity as a starter in midfield after his injury. Daniel Olmo and it didn’t go well. He lasted ten minutes after his expulsion. Everything is against him.
The football life of Eric Garcia has changed radically in recent months. Last season, central defender Culé played on loan at Girona and he had a great run as a central defender. Míchel’s team finished fourth and qualified to play in the Champions League this season. Even for several days, he was ahead of Barcelona and won both games, in Montjuic and Montilivi.
Eric Garcia was very important in Girona of the last course. He played in his natural position and defended at a high level in many games, even scoring goals. Then, in the summer, came the Olympic Games, where Santi Denia called him. He was a starter at the back with Paul Cubarsi and Spain won Olympic football gold 32 years later.
But after several months of footballing bliss, life for Eric Garcia has changed. He has returned to Barcelona and his return is not happy. Hansi Film He doesn’t like the defender and it shows in his minutes played: only 98 for the start of the season.
In fact, the Barcelona was about to get rid of Eric Garcia this summer. It didn’t count for Browse. But the long-term injury of Christensen It changed everything. For now. Of course, Eric has not yet played as a central defender with the German coach, his natural position. The Barcelona coach’s central defender pairing is Cubarsi-Iñigo.
Eric Garcia ended up being sent off in Monaco
And that’s it Hansi Film place Eric Garcia in the center of the field because he really doesn’t have any other. After the injury of Daniel OlmoThe German gave him the opportunity for the first time as a starter. Of course, in the middle with Pedri and Casadó. And it didn’t go well. After ten minutes of play, Eric was sent off for committing a foul on the front line when he was the last player. An aspect that conditioned the defeat of the culé in Monaco.
And everyone is against it Eric. Flick and also Ter Stegen. The German goalkeeper is largely responsible for his teammate’s sending off. He took a lot of risks when throwing the ball, he didn’t make the right decision and he made a mistake that put Eric in a very compromising situation that ended badly. To make matters worse, at the end of the game, Ter Stegen didn’t accept his mistake and said that “we didn’t understand each other well” when referring to Eric.
Every minute of Eric Garcia This season, 98 have been in the middle, outside their natural position. Clear example that browse We don’t count on him. When Christensen When the situation recovers, it will be different and perhaps Eric back on the market in January. 20 minutes against Valencia and 8 against Athletic with Bernal coming on, 30 against Valladolid with Casadó coming on and another 30 against Girona with Olmo coming on. This added to 10 minutes in Monaco as a starter before his expulsion. He will miss the next Champions League match, but will be available for this Sunday in the League. We will see if Flick trusts Eric as a starter again.
