Eric García Scout Report

Eric García's season at Barcelona offers a fascinating scout report, highlighting a centre-back who defies traditional defensive expectations. At just 23 and featuring prominently in La Liga, García showcases remarkable technical ability. His standout attributes are his ball retention skills and passing prowess, ranking him impressively high in both pass accuracy and progressive passing. This signals a modern defender's hallmark - calmness under pressure and an eagerness to initiate attacks from deep. Furthermore, his rare knack for chance creation from a defensive position adds an unexpected and valuable dimension to his game. However, Eric's physicality in duels is noticeably lacking, with low success in aerial and ground duels, suggesting a vulnerability against more robust forwards. His ability to intercept and recover the ball sits below the expected standard for a player in his role, hinting at positional awareness needing refinement. The balance of his play sees him featuring primarily in the midfield third, pushing forward to facilitate team movement rather than focusing on the defensive third. As Barcelona continues to evolve its playing style, García’s technical strengths will be crucial, though he must bolster his defensive resilience to become a more complete centre-back in Europe's elite.
