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.

We are connected in the zones. That's what I see. In the neutral zone, we have done a pretty good job with our defending. Offensively, we have done a pretty good job of creating chances. I liked our power play; it created some opportunities that didn't go in."
