Eric García compares Xavi with Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique

Xavi Hernández was confirmed like new trainer of the FC Barcelona two weeks ago and the illusion by his return has been maximum. From the reaction in the social networks, until the recibimiento of the changing room. The egarense has a very big challenge at the front, but also the intention to give back him the glory to a team that carries too many years sufriendor, in Europe and Spain. It arrives in a moment very delicate, but his illusion, commitment and gratitude by the club, in which it turned into a one of the best midfield players of the history, is bigger that all the problems.

In these two weeks, Xavi has had the opportunity to know to the staff (to exception of the international, that have gone incorporating in the last days) and implement a series of norms to achieve his big aim: order and discipline; two key factors in his plan of 'reconstruction' in the Barcelona picture. The players have assumed it and facilitate the way, because it is the only way to recover the best version of the team and 'save' a season that has begun of the worst possible form for the Barcelona.

Eric García, that during the stop FIFA remained in Barcelona recovering of the physical annoyances that suffered in the last party of League against the Celtic of Vigo, has had sufficient time to know to his new trainer and the feelings are very good. In fact, the central has confessed that the work of Xavi can compare with two historical of the Barcelona bench: Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique. With the one of Santpedor, the Barcelona picture turned into the best team of the world and achieved a 'sextete' historical; whereas the Asturian was the last in achieving a Champions League (with triplete) for the Barça. With Xavi, the expectations are the same or greater, to average and long term.

"In Xavi see things of Pep and also of Luis Enrique"

In an interview to the newspaper 'SPORT', the ex of the Manchester City has referred to the work that is doing his new trainer and aimed that "share changing room with Busi and that Xavi was the trainer is very special for me, never would have imagined it to me", standing out besides that in the one of Terrasa "see things of Pep and also of Luis Enrique". To his 20 years, has worked with the three and can give fé of the similarities.

Likewise, Eric García has referred to Xavi Hernández like the "most adapted person" to carry the reins of the bench of the Barça in these moments because "it is a legend of the club and has a level of trainer very high. His mentality sticks a lot to the player and the character that prints is very important". Of the norms that has implemented in the changing room, recognised that "For me, are normal, already had them in the City. Always it does lacking to have a bit of discipline".

Praises for Ronald Koeman

The fact that Xavi Hernández was the new Barcelona trainer, does not remove merit to all the work of Ronald Koeman and that has been the message that has left Eric García, the one who shared few months with the Dutch trainer, but equally learnt a lot of the one who, in his moment, went one of the most stood out defenders in the European football and, especially, turned into a legend of the FC Barcelona.

It is thus that, in his interview with the newspaper 'SPORT', Eric has confessed that saves very good memories of the of Zaandam and that "to me, personally, Ronald helped me a lot and only have words of gratitude", sentenced.
