Barça has just wrapped up a great year thanks to the new coach, Hansi Flick, who has completely transformed the entire team. Those from the Catalan capital have gone through tough times, but little by little they've recovered. In fact, the fans have once again felt identified with their team, which hadn't happened for quite some time.
Hansi Flick arrived at Barça as a personal bet by Deco and Joan Laporta, and it has been proven that it was the right decision. The sporting director had been demanding the German for a while, and the president finally listened to him. Now, one of the footballers who has been most talked about in Barça's offices has spoken publicly.
Hansi Flick's Barça
Hansi Flick arrived at Barça at a difficult time, right after Xavi Hernández's play style didn't yield results. The German had the mission to keep Barça's DNA, but by implementing the necessary improvements. The fans had doubts, but the coach has shown that he always knows what to do.
Although this season has started a bit weaker than desired, the reality is that the fans fully trust their leader. The coach has had to set boundaries and do without some footballers who weren't essential to his system. One of those who caused the most doubt was Eric García, but everything changed suddenly.
Eric García didn't have a leading role in the first team, and everything pointed to him leaving for Girona last winter. Míchel was interested in adding him to his team thanks to the good year he had when he was on loan. Coincidentally, Eric García spoke recently to Jijantes and made it clear what will happen with his future.
Eric García's words
When asked about his contract renewal, Eric García said: "I hope so, I hope so." He finally added: "If everything goes well... in the summer there was all the chaos of the transfer market, but now everything will be discussed." These statements make it clear that it's more than likely that Deco will end up offering him a new contract.
Eric García has become someone important for Hansi Flick, and Deco must keep him in mind for the coming seasons. Although we can't take anything for granted, it's likely that the defender will end up signing another contract this year.
