Fran Garcia, Real Madrid’s first-team football player, spoke about his difficult beginnings in his football career.

Ferran Garcia, 26 years old, is one of the graduates of the Real Madrid academy who was able to play with the first team and became a strong addition to the team.

Garcia did not start, but he is certainly an outstanding substitute player. After three seasons he spent with Rayo Vallecano, this is his third season with Real Madrid.

Garcia said, in statements published by the newspaper “Mundo Deportivo”: “I was about to retire from football. I thought about it seriously.”

He continued: “The reason is that I suffer from severe physical problems. I suffered two dislocations and a broken shoulder.”

He also revealed Guti’s advice to him with the youth team, when he was his coach, where he told him: “I will ask you to do all the things that I could not do.”

Garcia also talked about his experience at Rayo Vallecano: “It was completely different, more intimate, our relationship was like a family.”

As for his return to Real Madrid, he added: “It was a completely unexpected return. All my things were ready to travel to Germany.”

Garcia concluded his statements about playing alongside Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe: “Vinicius is another nightmare, a player whose presence on the field is unforgettable, but Mbappe is an extremely special talent.”
