[h=3]Oscar will stick to his attacking philosophy[/h] 6:00am Friday 28th June 2013 in Albion By Brian Owen
Oscar Garcia loves to play attacking football
Oscar Garcia took charge as Albion’s new head coach – and told fans he is “obsessed” with attacking football.
The former Barcelona striker and Maccabi Tel Aviv boss reckons he has already seen good things in his first day at training.
Now he has stressed he wants to go out and create chances.
Garcia said last night: “I’m impressed with the people I’m working with at Brighton and I’m very happy.
“It’s a pleasure for me to be here. This morning I met all the players and I saw a lot of good things this afternoon.
“My obsession is to attack, to attack the opposition, to keep the ball and to have the ball as many times as possible “If we have the ball we will have many chances to score and win the game. That’s my philosophy.”
The 40-year-old has taken a newly created role after manager Gus Poyet was sacked on Sunday.
He said chairman Tony Bloom had an easy time selling Albion to his new employee.
Garcia added: “It wasn’t difficult for him because I knew the club, I knew English football and I knew some players who are playing here.
“We arrived at an agreement quickly.”
