Why do Barcelona players do not need experience? Delafuente talks about Gonzalo: He needs experience to join the national team

Recently, Spanish national team coach De La Fuente said that Gonzalo Garcia needs more league experience to be selected for the national team, but the league experience of the three Barcelona players is less than Gonzalo Garcia before being selected for the national team.

Gonzalo Garcia's rise in Real Madrid has attracted widespread attention, and many people have called for him to be selected for the Spanish national team. When asked about this possibility, Delafuente said: "He needs to have some league experience first."

However, have other players experienced similar "league experience" before entering the adult national team? This has not been the case in the last three cases. Interestingly, all three players are from Barcelona, ​​and in recent years, they have even less experience and time in the national team selected for the national team than Gonzalo Garcia, who are Garvey, Yamal and Kubasi.

Garvey only played 6 times in the first team when he was called by Louis Enrique on September 30, 2021, totaling 288 minutes. When Yamal was called by Drafun Character on September 1, 2023, he only had 4 games and 182 minutes of professional game experience.

As for Kubasi, when he was selected for the national team on March 22, 2024, he had 12 games and 930 minutes of playing time. This is the same number of appearances Gonzalo Garcia has since played against Paris Saint-Germain this Wednesday. So far, he has played 11 games for Real Madrid, totaling 457 minutes.

If everything goes as planned, Gonzalo Garcia will complete more than 12 games by the date of the roster release (expected August 29). When calling Kubasi in 2024, Delafuent said: "We don't look at our ID card, we only look at our performance." This sentence is now remembered by many Real Madrid fans, because Gonzalo Garcia's performance is undisputed, contributing 5 goals and 2 assists in 11 games.

It is worth mentioning that Delafuent's remarks about "experience" are not the only ones that have caused controversy. He also said Gonzalo Garcia "had not played for a second in the first team game." However, in fact, Gonzalo has played 5 times in La Liga, and although he only has 70 minutes, he has indeed worn Real Madrid jersey to participate in La Liga.
