Eric García, from fighting for ownership to being the fifth central defender of the new Barça

Mateu Alemany And Jordi Cruyff have reinforced all the flanks of the first team of face to the next season. The managerial wants to compete by all the titles and recover the status in the elite of the European football, by what have concretised the signings of Robert Lewandowski, Franck Kessié, Andreas Christensen, Raphinha and Jules Koundé. Precisely it is this last the one who has put in the 'toneless rope' to one of the first incorporations of Joan Laporta to beginnings of the 2021/22.

It treats of Eric García, that arrived with the letter of freedom under the arm from the Manchester City. The Catalan formed in the inferior of the Barça and, after four campaigns in the English group, returned to his house to help to the team of Ronald Koeman that would finish going out by the rear door. With the landing of Xavi Hernández the more youngsters of the staff began to have prominence and footballers like Pedri, Gavi, Nico, 'Ez' Abde and the own Eric turned into important pieces.

However, the campaign was advancing and the hierarchy of Gerard Hammered imposed to the equal that the exponential growth of Ronald Araújo, by what the '24' happened to a flat second. It contested 38 commitments but many of them were owing to the injuries in the pair title, by what his work went through to be an acting in front of any eventuality or title in the parties less trascendentes to give rest.

New 'threats'

Although Samuel Umtiti, Clément Lenglet and Òscar Mingueza were not in the plans of the technician, the new incorporations if that will have an important impact in the minutes of Eric on the terrain. In fact, the own Hammered already has present that this campaign will have fewer minutes, because Koundé will be the elected to complement to Araújo in the axis of the defence.

Added to this, Christensen has left good feelings in the friendly commitments of pre-season, what would reduce even more the opportunities of the of Martorell. The 'guinda of the cake' would be the arrival of César Azpilicueta because of his polivalencia to exert of right side and of central defender in case to be necessary, what could open him the doors of exit to the canterano in the next course if it does not take a step forward with his performances.
