His first tenure, in November 2008, scored by a goal against Saint-Etienne, will rhyme with a first selection invitation. Present that day to observe Kevin Mirallas, missed on the other side and next to his subject, Frankie Vercauteren will fall like all the others under the spell of the number 26 Lille. Garcia depicts “Interesting offensive asset. He still has a lot to improve but he is a reception boy and listening to advice.” His family will be precious. With this prophecy after its real-false departure in the summer of 2009: “2009 was the year of discovery. 2010 must be that of its confirmation and 2011 of its explosion.”
towerThere are blind but Eden would be holder in any national team in the world.
A laudator, the technician is also protective with his player. October 2010: Leekens summons Hazard but leaves him in the stands. First tackle of the old attacking midfielder: “His words are excessive, you have to calm the game. The player’s quality is there and the background of man is good.”
Rudi Garcia and the wink of the blind
When the offset between Hazard’s performance in selection and in club is at the highest at the end of the 2010/11 season, second blade: “There are blind but Eden would be holder in any national team in the world and will become the best player of the Belgian team. It is said that it is a nugget but it is a gold mine. “” Before the third following the Burger-Gate and its ephemeral suspension: “If they had something to say to Eden, they might have been able to do it quietly on the head rather than lighting it in the newspapers. I could not leave things like that.“And since then, the thread has never been broken between the two men.
-He launched Bruno and Origi
A little more than year of interval, Gianni Bruno, in January 2012 and Divock Origi in February 2013, had their beginnings in pro under Rudi Garcia. By scoring each time. RG’s eye was precious to set foot in the secondary stirrup which, thirteen months later, played the World Cup.
Rudi Garcia already tends a pole to Thibaut Courtois: “It would be good to be able to count on the best goalkeeper in the world”
He pulled the best of Nainggolan and Denayer
When, in January 2014, Radja Nainggolan was loaned to Rome, La Louve has with DE Rossi, Strootman and Pjanic the best midfield in Italy. But, wanted by Garcia, the ninja is essential and remains the third player most used by the French during his visit to the club (2014-16). The technician who considers him as “One of the best players in Serie A” is wrong on a point when he proclaims: “He will go to Brazil.” But he ties with the community a healthy relationship, exploiting his potential like no one by empowering him when he makes him his vice-captain behind Rossi but also by protecting him from the storm of his accusations of domestic violence: “Radja’s privacy only looks at him, he is very calm and will be important for us.”
As will be Garcia to Denayer. Captain When the technician replaces Sylvinho in 2019, the defender then shares this charge with Memphis Depay, who, for political reasons, ends up being the only carrier of the armband. But Denayer does not formalize this and lives his best period often in a defense with four, sometimes three as in the final Eight of Champions League with the elimination of City. And the two men almost ended up in Saudi Arabia.
