Will Juan Garcia Provoke Espanyol Fans?
The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" confirmed that Barcelona's young goalkeeper Juan Garcia will not repeat what Thibaut Courtois did two years ago in the Madrid derby against Atlético Madrid, and that his experience is fundamentally different from the Belgian goalkeeper's career with Real Madrid.
The newspaper explained that Courtois, who transferred from Atlético Madrid to Real Madrid, has become one of the best goalkeepers in the world. However, he provoked the fans during the derby match after Militão's goal, when a lighter was thrown at him. He grabbed it and waved it provocatively towards the crowd, an action that went unnoticed by the referee and his assistants.
The newspaper added that Juan Garcia, who transferred from Espanyol after the club paid his €25 million release clause, is a modest and loyal goalkeeper known for his dedication to the club's emblem, having helped the team remain in the top division. He will not seek to provoke the fans, no matter the pressure on him.
The newspaper pointed out that Espanyol fans consider García a traitor because of his move to Barcelona, but Barcelona itself is not in a position to give lessons on sportsmanship.
The report confirmed that Garcia's experience is completely different from Courtois, emphasizing that the player will not be the cause of stirring up fans who once loved him but now have mixed feelings of both love and hate towards him.
