Playing Style Analysis

García is the rare defender who causes more problems in the opposition box than he solves in his own—and the numbers make that contradiction impossible to ignore. His 93.8% pass accuracy places him in the top 5% of defenders in the Stars League, suggesting a composed, ball-playing profile, yet his goals and assists per 90 both rank among the division's elite at his position, hinting at something more adventurous. Here's the counterintuitive part: his aerial win rate sits in the top 5% for volume, yet his duel win rate overall lands in the bottom 10%—he gets into the right positions but doesn't always finish the fight.
