Eric García asks Flick for a favor to fulfill his big dream: 'I just need...'

Eric García wants to seize every opportunity to get closer to one of the most important challenges of his career

Eric García has shown that he is experiencing a very positive moment at FC Barcelona. Every time he gets minutes on the field, he shows his quality and defensive reliability. He is not a player who hides under pressure; on the contrary, it is clear that his confidence has grown.

Since he arrived, he has worked hard to recover his best version. His reading of the game and his ability to anticipate the opponent have improved remarkably. That's why every time he comes in, he contributes to the team in a clear way. It is no coincidence that his coaches and teammates talk about his progress.

Flick trusts him

Hansi Flick has seen in Eric a defender with great potential and tactical maturity. Flick trusts him and has included him in several important matches, where Eric has replied with reliability and personality.

The German coach values his ability to adapt to different defensive systems and his quickness to make decisions under pressure. This trust is not only a recognition of Eric's work, but also an incentive for him to keep improving day by day.

The World Cup dream

Now, Eric García has a very special goal: the World Cup. The defender wants to be among those drafted by Luis de la Fuente and knows that in order to achieve it, he needs to show his best level at Barça.

That's why he has asked Flick for a very specific favor: more minutes on the field. "I just need to play, to feel like a protagonist, and to show that I can perform at my best," Eric reportedly said according to sources close to him. The more he plays, the more chances he will have to convince the coach that he deserves to go to the World Cup.

More minutes to convince De la Fuente

The player understands that the competition is tough, but he also trusts his ability. He knows that every match counts and that only by showing his level can he open the door to the World Cup.

Flick, aware of Eric's desire, values his effort and commitment. For the coach, it is important to balance the team's needs with the individual goals of its players. Eric hopes that this conversation will allow him to have more prominence, especially in the matches that matter and where he can shine.

A clear message of ambition

Eric's request is not just a favor, but also a statement of intent. He wants to compete at the highest level and represent Spain at the World Cup. His ambition is joined by the responsibility he feels with Barça and with Flick, a coach who believes in his potential.

If he gets more minutes, Eric trusts that he will be able to convince De la Fuente. His dream is within reach, and everything depends on keeping up his performance and making the most of every opportunity that comes his way.
