"He doesn't have a defence that protects him. He doesn't have a defence that gives him confidence. They leave him very exposed during every game, and that makes it extremely difficult for him to keep a clean sheet, he explained. Canizares went further, suggesting that the problem is structural rather than individual. In his view, Barcelona currently lack clear defensive concepts that help safeguard their goalkeeper. This, he warned, could eventually hurt Garcia's confidence and overall performance as the season progresses."
"What a goalkeeper likes is to go home, keep a clean sheet, and see how the team helps you. Without that support, it's normal for confidence to be undermined. He doesn't have a team where a goalkeeper can enjoy himself in any way. While acknowledging that Garcia has appeared "a little out of place" in certain matches, Canizares was quick to stress that this perception is a consequence of Barcelona's defensive fragility rather than a reflection of the goalkeeper's ability."
Santiago Canizares argues that Joan Garcia is frequently left exposed by Barcelona's defence, making clean sheets extremely difficult. He describes the issue as structural, citing a lack of clear defensive concepts and protection in front of the goalkeeper. Canizares warns that persistent defensive fragility can erode Garcia's confidence and harm performance as the season progresses. He concedes Garcia has sometimes appeared "a little out of place" but attributes that to team weaknesses rather than the keeper's ability. Canizares praises Garcia as one of Europe's most promising goalkeepers and noted recent high praise despite national team omission.
