Hupu November 11 News Joan Garcia recently accepted an interview with RAC1 and reviewed his experience after joining Barcelona. He admitted that the decision was not easy, but he has never regretted it - on the contrary, he is very satisfied with his choice, even though it took some mental struggle at the time.

Do you look forward to Messi returning to Barcelona?

"With the way he plays, Messi can play until he wants to stop. It would be great if he could come back and I could play with him, but I don't know if it is really possible."

About his recovery and Flick's system

"My meniscus injury is recovering well. If coach Flick approves, I will play against Athletic Bilbao." Come back in the game."

"Flick's style of play is different from what I'm used to, so it wasn't easy at first, but they helped me a lot from the first day. I still have areas to improve, but I'm more comfortable now."

"This system makes the goalkeeper have to stay focused at all times. It is a risky way of playing - but if the opponent is compressed, it is easier to make mistakes and we can control the ball more. But to be very precise, it counts in centimeters. Even if there are mistakes like in Oviedo, Flick told me: 'This is how we play, it will happen, no problem. '"

On Barcelona's recent form

"We know that it will be a competitive season, but our goal is always to win every game and not to think too much about the results of the last few games. We will seriously discuss and find ways to improve. "

About joining Barcelona

"I am very happy to join Barcelona."

Speaking about the contract dispute between the team and Ter Stegen

"There is no need to talk about the specific situation between the two parties, and the problem was resolved to the best. ."

On leaving Espanyol

"I just acted according to my feelings. Maybe there are things I can do better, but I am calm."

"Everyone has their own opinion, but it is me who makes the decision, because it is related to my future and the future of my family. I am very satisfied with my original choice."

Social media photo of kissing the Espanyol team logo after relegation. "That was my true emotion at the time. I have been at Espanyol for many years, experienced a lot of pain, and gained a lot of happiness. Last season was very difficult, and we did not avoid relegation until the last day. The action at that moment was natural. I still have feelings for Espanyol, and I gave a lot in those years. But this does not prevent me from seeking better development for my career. The two are compatible."

For the first time in 2026 The game will be against Espanyol

"I know the atmosphere will be intense that day, but I will stay calm and treat it as a normal game."

"It will be a different feeling, I will go back in a different jersey and know what may happen, but I will go all out to play my best game and try to win like any other pitch."

About Lamin Yamar's injury

"I have also experienced that kind of injury, which is very torturous. There is no treatment that can make you recover immediately. You can only control the training load and recover slowly. Lamin has improved a lot, and I hope he can continue to do so."

My own goal - to enter the World Cup roster

"It is of course exciting to go to the World Cup, but first I have to enter the qualifying list. If I can return to the state before the injury, I believe the opportunity will come."
