Garcia: "Our style carries big risk, but it's proven worth it"

Barcelona goalkeeper Garcia discusses Spain's attacking style and competition with fellow keepers ahead of Nations League matches against Czech Republic and England.

Joan Garcia returned to Spain's squad after missing the previous international window. The Barcelona goalkeeper, who played a key role in Barcelona's recent victory over Atlético Madrid, spoke to Mundo Deportivo ahead of training at the Spanish Football Federation's Ciudad del Fútbol.

Garcia reflected on the demands of Barcelona's high-pressing system, which requires constant alertness from the goalkeeper. "It carries a very big risk, but I believe it has proven to be worth it," he said. "The goalkeeper has to be concentrated and attentive to help in everything possible. Obviously it involves a big risk, but in the end you save chances far more often than you make mistakes."

On his role with Spain, Garcia acknowledged the fierce competition for the number one shirt. "I'm very happy to share the dressing room with them and to train with them and keep improving," he said of fellow keepers David Raya and Álvaro Valles. He also praised Unai Simón's recent Ballon d'Or recognition, noting the strong relationships between the three goalkeepers.

Spain face Czech Republic in Prague and England at the Metropolitano in upcoming Nations League fixtures, with the goal of winning both matches and topping the group.
