Xavi’s huge praise for Gavi

Upon signing of Ilkay Gundoganthe late arrival of João Felix and their weight in the team Frenkie de Jong and Petermany are quick to predict a difficult time for Gavi. The substitution in the premiere of the league at Getafe (0-0) seemed to agree with those who defended that argument, although they did not take into account that during the preseason he suffered an injury that caused him to come to Coliseum without rhythm. However, he regained his place in the eleven on the second day, either as a classic interior or as a ‘false winger’, at least drawing on the board, and he never lost it with impressive performances such as he used to do it. Barça – Betis (5-0). AND Xavi He gave up on his character in a press conference.

“Gavi “He is the heart of the team, he is a key player, many said that this year he will not play, but he is an ideal footballer,” said the coach after his team’s recital.

Certainly, when Peter heal, Xavi He will have to sacrifice some important players in every game because not everyone fits in the eleven. But, as he said in defining the goals of the four forwards, competition is the key because it will allow for quality rotations.

“When someone is placed next to you with direct competition, you have to give more. It happened to me when a player was signed in my place. If the person next to you flies, you also have to fly. Now the problem is mine to decide,” he explained Xavi. This also applies to midfielders.

“He doesn’t have to leave the position”

“I see Lewandowski happy”

In the chapter of praise, more than he has done João Felix and João Canceloinsisted on applauding Ferran’s transformation (“he’s the one who wants to stay and it’s a lot of merit to turn the tables like he did with such amazing mental strength”) and there was also praise for Lewandowski: “Robert had two very good games, against Osasuna and against Betis, he was enjoying himself, he didn’t have to leave the position, he looked happy.”
