Juan Garcia, goalkeeper for Spanish club Barcelona, affirmed that his teammate Hamza Abdelkarim can help the Blaugrana on the offensive front in the coming period.
Hansi Flick, Barcelona's head coach, had promoted Hamza Abdelkarim during the pre-season for the new campaign, where he participated in all friendly matches and scored four goals.
The Egyptian striker, Hamza Abdelkarim, was on Barcelona's bench for the team's first two matches in the Spanish league this season, where Barcelona won 5-0 against Elche and 2-0 against Athletic Bilbao.
Juan Garcia said in a statement to La Liga TV after the match: "Do you support Barcelona signing a new striker, given Raphinha's brilliance? Fortunately, I always say that this is not my job... The truth is that we trust them a lot, and whatever they decide will be the best."
The Spanish international goalkeeper added: "We have also seen Hamza Abdelkarim appear with the team, and he can help us a lot in the coming period."
He continued: "At the moment, we see that the team is working well, but certainly, any player who comes, regardless of their position, to help and add value will be welcome."
Regarding his assessment of his team's draw in the Champions League, he said: "The draw resulted in difficult teams, certainly... As for the stadiums, most of them excite me. The truth is that I have not been to any of these stadiums in Europe, almost."
He completed: "For example, the Galatasaray stadium in Turkey, I believe it has an atmosphere that seems great to play in, and we also have a great desire to start the tournament."
About what he expects from Rodri, who recently transferred to Barcelona, he said: "I think I will not discover him now, and no one will. He is a player who conveys what a midfielder like him should convey: a lot of calm."
Juan Garcia concluded his statements by saying: "When he enters the field, you learn that you will control the match by almost 100%, so I think it is a wonderful addition, and we will also try to help him adapt as quickly as possible and deliver his best level."
