Each team: Eric Garcia has secured his position at Barcelona, and Ford is likely to leave the team

According to the Daily Sports News, Eric Garcia has secured her position in Barcelona, while Ford is likely to leave the team.

The media pointed out that Eric Garcia was very close to leaving Barcelona in January this year. The defender was tired of the fringe roles of the first half of the season, eager to and need to be the lead character. As early as before the start of the season, Girona's loan plan, as the main candidate, was already on the table (the loan effect was significant before). But Frick hopes that the position reserves are sufficient and that it is difficult to operate the transfer due to the Fiscal Fair Act, so he stopped any possibility of leaving the team.

In fact, Frick himself played a decisive role in the winter window. He had a candid and transparent conversation with Eric, making him understand that there will be his own performance opportunities. The season is long and the opportunity will eventually come. In addition, Frick also "utilized" the team's outstanding competitive state and the season prospects that could actually create history - the team is competing in four events and is expected to expand the championship honors.

It was this time the benign exchange between the German coach and the defender that changed everything. The intensive schedule allowed Eric Garcia to gradually accumulate playing time. After Inigo was injured, he also contributed to the position of the back midfielder. We even started to see him active in the full-back area. At first it was to provide a rotation for Conde, but later he took the place directly when the Frenchman was injured at the end of the season.

At the wing position, we see the unknown side of this Barcelona player. It is exquisite in cooperation with Yamal and has high strength in the confrontation. Shows huge physical reserves. And in the appearance sequence, he surpassed Conde's theoretical substitute - ACTO Ford.

The former Manchester City player's season-ending performance has brought people to consider the possibility of renewal (the player's contract expires in 2026 and Frick is very satisfied with him). This idea has not changed and everything is moving as planned, as all parties are satisfied and look forward to a common future.

In addition, for the new season, Hans Flick plans to improve Eric's position in the locker room and on the court. As discussed recently, Hector Ford is in the departure channel and knows that it will be difficult for him to accumulate Barcelona's playing time. Frick has conveyed this to him, and he regards Conde and Eric as the top choices on the right.

Eric Garcia realized that he would have a higher appearance sequence at the start of the new season than last summer. The plan Frick made for him was to become a big member. He mainly serves as a full-back (he brought surprises in this position), but he can also play a guest role in the central defender and can even play as a midfielder if necessary.

The current situation cannot be better for Eric: he started in the preseason and became the first goalkeeper in the preparation period.
