David Raya<\/strong> He is one of the goalkeepers of the moment in Spanish football. He meta del Arsenal<\/strong> is at a level that makes it enter all the pools for being the best in the world under the sticks<\/strong>. Also on that list is Joan Garcia<\/strong>, colleague now in the National Team to whom he has dedicated a few words<\/strong>. All this, after the call from Luis de la Fuente, which has been long awaited.<\/p>\n

Joan Garc\u00eda is at a very high level<\/p>\n

David Raya, about his new teammate in the National Team<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even though he is a ‘threat’ for him in the World Cup, along with Unai Sim\u00f3n, The Catalan has not hesitated to praise his teammate<\/strong> in an interview with TV3.<\/em> “Joan Garc\u00eda is at a very high level”<\/strong>says Raya, who values \u200b\u200bthe sweet form of the Blaugrana goalkeeper. A lot of respect between both, despite having the same objective<\/strong>which only one of the selected goalkeepers will be able to obtain: Play the World Cup as a starter for Spain. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Key piece in Barcelona<\/h2>\n

For David Raya, the figure of Joan Garc\u00eda is one of the keys to the success of the cul\u00e9 team<\/strong>. The Arsenal goalkeeper elevates the Bar\u00e7a goalkeeper to a level that he establishes as definitive for the context that exists now in Can Bar\u00e7a.<\/strong> “Bar\u00e7a would not be where it is if it were not for him<\/strong>. He’s a good boy, which is important, and it’s a goalkeeper<\/strong>“explains Raya, who does not hesitate to praise Joan. “If the coach decides that he should play, we will help him from the beginning”<\/strong>he adds, to show that what is important is the team, and not the individuals. <\/p>\n

BRAND interview with Joan Garcia<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This call will be the first that Joan Garc\u00eda joins with the senior team.<\/strong> He responds, therefore, to the requests of a country that saw him as a player who should, at least, respond to De la Fuente’s call. Finally, it has been like that, although it will be necessary to see what role he will have from now on, and if he will have continuity in the group or not. <\/p>\n

Bar\u00e7a – Arsenal in a hypothetical Champions semi-finals<\/h2>\n

Beyond talking about his partner, he also left a few words regarding that hypothetical crossing in Champions<\/strong>. For this, Arsenal must beat Sporting de Portugal and Barcelona against Atletico<\/strong>in a match that will be high voltage. <\/p>\n

\n

They are a very well-worked team, both defensively and offensively.<\/p>\n

Raya, about Bar\u00e7a<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If both pass, they would meet in the semis, something that Raya already values. “It would be an honor to be able to face Bar\u00e7a in the Champions League semi-finals”<\/strong>says the goalkeeper, who also wanted to praise Hansi Flick’s team. “They are a very well-worked team.<\/strong>both defensively and offensively. AND It has been proven that they are getting very good results both in the League and in the Champions League.<\/strong>“says the Spanish goalkeeper, who now has the mind set on Spain and those rooms<\/strong> before the Portuguese. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
