Manchester City youngster, Eric Garcia has said he is not afraid of an EPL challenge if Pep decides to give him a shot.
The teenager has started 5 times for the club, all in the Carabao Cup, and has never lost a game so far.
Being a defender, Garcia has now said he is ready to step up if the injuries affecting the center-backs at the club keep making Pep run out of options.
His words, “With these games, it helps to be ready if someday I have the opportunity to play,”
“These type of games are the ones that are really helping me.
“Having the centre-backs we have like John, Nico and then Fernandinho can play there, or Rodri did play there and they play really well so I keep working and wait for my opportunity in these kinds of games to prove I can also play.”
“I learn from all of them because they are all different players. I learn from Otamendi’s experience that he has and also Fernandinho,”
“John [Stones] is a young player but we know with the ball he is really good so I try to learn from all of them.
“At the end, Pep asks the defenders to play from the build-up and we try to do what we can.
“The staff and the players are helping me a lot. I have more contact with the defenders because at the end we play in the same position and we try to help each other.
“I haven’t heard anything [about a loan move]. I am fully focused on the training session and playing in these type of games.”
