1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 9th Barcelona is close to signing Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia, and his former goalkeeper coach Salvador praised Joan Garcia.
Salvador has served as goalkeeper coach for Espanyol for four years and has coached Joan Garcia’s training. Now he serves as goalkeeper coach for Saudi team Jeddah. El Salvador first said: “Garcia will be the best goalkeeper in the world. I don’t say he is the best now, but he will be. I know his potential very well, we only see a small part of it, and we have to give him more important game opportunities to prove himself. He may also make mistakes, just like Neuer, Valdez, Ter Stegen, Diego Lopez… But from the first moment we saw him, we knew his talent very well.”
The El Salvador coach continued: “From the beginning, you can feel that he is an excellent goalkeeper through conversations. He can understand any corrections and easily correct them. He is very smart, understands the requirements of the game, and has the talent to adapt to any game mode. It also includes Barcelona’s game system, which requires the goalkeeper to be very high and play outside the penalty area. ”
Coach Salvador also said: “While at Espanyol, there were also doubts whether Garcia should be allowed to play immediately. Coach Vicente Moreno gave him a chance, but the result was not as expected at the beginning. And he is a young player and has very few appearances due to a knee injury. But you need patience, and everything goes well in the end.”
Coach Salvador pointed out: “Garcia was used to facing a lot of shots in the Espanyol game, and if he eventually joined Barcelona, he would experience the opposite situation. His work will not be very busy in the game, but he must be very efficient when needed, which requires great attention. But I don’t worry about Garcia in this regard, he is ready to continue to improve himself.”
