Joan García defends Barcelona's high-risk style: it pays off
Back with Spain's squad, the goalkeeper says he saves far more chances than the mistakes he makes, and that the high defensive line is worth it.
Joan García, goalkeeper of Barcelona, has rejoined Spain's squad after missing the last window. Speaking to Mundo Deportivo before training at the RFEF's Ciudad del Fútbol, he admitted that the team's style carries a big risk, but said it has already proven worth it.
With the defence pushed high, the keeper is constantly involved in the play. He says he does not think about the danger in the moment, only about doing his job as well as possible. Some day an action will go wrong, but he is clear that he will save far more chances than he gives away.
The full interview will be published online and in tomorrow's print edition. Before that, Spain have two key games: Czech Republic in Prague and another big match at the Metropolitano, followed by England, with the aim of winning both and finishing first in the group in the Nations League.
