Eric Garcia: 'No Excuses, Barcelona Must Win'
Barcelona defender Eric García emphasizes the team's obligation to secure victories, acknowledging recent psychological challenges affecting performance.
Following Barcelona's unexpected 1-0 home defeat to Leganes, defender Eric García addressed the media, underscoring the team's responsibility to win every match. He stated, "We knew this was a game we had to win at all costs. When they scored first, it was clear they'd sit back and defend, which is exactly what happened."
García highlighted the importance of learning from mistakes, noting, "We understand that throughout the season, there are many ups and downs, with some positive and some negative events. We must learn from our mistakes. We are a young team, but everyone should know that at Barcelona, we are expected to win every game, and there are no excuses."
He also pointed out the psychological aspect of the game, explaining, "The psychological aspect of such matches is very important. When no goals are scored, players become upset and frustrated, and other teams retreat further and start wasting time. Ultimately, it's a bad cycle that we should never have entered."
