"According to a recent report from SPORT, the Royal Spanish Football Federation has a very positive view of the young keeper, especially when it comes to his behaviour within the squad. The federation believes that his presence in the national team environment would only strengthen the group dynamic. "With Joan Garcia, the team spirit would be perfect," they say at the federation."
"As such, this confidence is not based on speculation, as those within the federation point to his past experiences in the youth national teams, where he often had to accept a secondary role without creating any problems. During his time with the Spain Under-21 side under Luis de la Fuente, Garcia was called up five times. Despite that, he only played one full match against Slovakia and a brief ten-minute appearance against Malta."
"Even so, his attitude left a strong impression on those around him. "He's a very good person. He was a great discovery," the source adds. Luis de la Fuente has often explained what he values most when selecting players for the national team. "To be selected for the national team, you have to be a good person and show solidarity," he had said in the past."
The Royal Spanish Football Federation views Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia very positively for his behaviour and squad presence. Federation sources state that his presence would strengthen group dynamics and that team spirit would be perfect with him involved. His youth national team history shows consistent acceptance of backup roles without causing issues, including five Under-21 call-ups with only one full match against Slovakia and a ten-minute appearance versus Malta. Coaches and sources describe him as a very good person whose attitude impressed those around him. Luis de la Fuente values good character and solidarity, which supports Garcia’s potential selection while respecting Unai Simón’s first-choice status.
