Harvey Garcia: A Fei has a very high tactical IQ, and can perfectly understand and execute coach requirements

July 28th News Recently, Real Madrid's former player Xavi Garcia was interviewed by Le A, who highly praised the A-fee for joining Real Madrid.

Do you have any plans for this season? I hope to continue to improve my abilities as a coach, visit some prestigious coaches, learn on-site how they work, improve their preparation level, understand new ideas and learn languages. I've tried being an assistant coach and feel good and now I'm increasingly eager to coach a team independently.

What can Alonso bring to Real Madrid? I think he will bring fresh air tactical. Real Madrid needs new training methods and try different formations and new ideas. This will strengthen the overall performance of the team and will also stimulate the individual potential of each player. In fact, I believe he can make many Real Madrid players look the best.

How do you evaluate AFL's joining

This is a great signing, he can perform well in multiple positions, whether it's a full-back, a central defender in the three-center-back system or a wingback. This kind of versatile ability is very valuable to the coach. Also, he is very smart in tactics, and I think that's exactly what Harvey is looking for.

When did you get to know him? I like to pay attention to the work of the youth training camp, especially those teams I have played for. I saw him playing football when he was still in Real Madrid's youth training, and I thought he was good at that time. Later in Benfica, I had the opportunity to observe him every day and found that he was indeed a very outstanding player, and he was also maturing and improving over time.

What is his strengths

His tactical IQ is very high, he can perfectly understand and execute the coach's requirements, and his personality and technical level on the court are also above average.

Is he more suitable for the three-center-back system?

There is no doubt that considering his offensive tendency, I think he is very suitable for the three-center-back system.

He can do it in defense, of course, he is very clear about his strengths and weaknesses, and he is very smart, I believe he can perform well in all aspects.

Do you think he can defend Yamal in the national derby? Why not? Stopping Yamal is a tough task for any full-back, but he did a great job in the Champions League and I believe he can do it again.

Will the €50 million transfer fee label be pressured on him?

Not. He has a strong personality, which will not affect him. I've always said that success at Real Madrid requires a little self-awareness on the field, and he has that. But that doesn't mean he won't work hard for the team, he's a good guy off the field.

Did his experience in Benfica help him deal with the pressure on Real Madrid

Benfica is a great team, but Real Madrid is another world. Nothing can compare to playing football at the Bernabeu Stadium. I hope so, but only time can tell us the answer.

If he keeps improving, will he become a member of the national team? Of course. Spain does not currently have an undisputed left-back who can compete for this position. At Real Madrid, he will receive more attention, and if he performs well, he is fully capable of becoming the main player of the national team.

You used to be an excellent midfielder, and Real Madrid lacks creativity now? We must admit that Cross is irreplaceable. His absence last season has already made us feel a big impact, and it is natural because he has a huge impact on the team. Alonso's mission is to minimize this loss, and I believe he knows how to do it.

Do you think there is anyone in the world who can replace Cross?

Frankly speaking, I don't think anyone can now reach the level required by Real Madrid to replace Cross.

Manchester City, your other team, made a massive investment

They have to strengthen the roster because nothing is eternal. I hope they can compete for all the championships again. I'd love to know if Guardiola can motivate the players again to get them to their best, especially with his long-term coaching, which I think is one of the hardest tasks for a coach.
