On Wednesday night, Barca will host Inter at Camp Nou. A completely different result than a victory would put the Catalans in a delicate situation, with a view to qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League. Before this essential match, the central defender of Barcelona Eric Garcia (6 matches in La Liga this season), spoke about this meeting against the Nerrazzuri. The opportunity also for the Spaniard to come back to his relationship with Ansu Fati, and to talk about his coach Xavi, whom he sees “like a mix between Luis Enrique and Pep Guardiola”.
On the game against Inter
“We know what we are playing for. Playing at home is an advantage for us. The fans will be with us as they have been all season. Hope we have a good night”
On his special relationship with Ansu Fati
“When he arrived at La Masia and his family wasn’t there, he came to my house to spend the weekends. Now we spend the summers together and we trust each other a lot.”
On his coach Xavi
“Xavi is a mixture of Guardiola and Luis Enrique (Eric Garcia knows both men well since he was managed by Guardiola at City and Luis Enrique is his coach in the Spanish national team). The idea of the game that all three have is virtually identical. Everyone has nuances, but it’s about pressing after the ball is lost and getting the ball out cleanly.”
