Gavi: “I understand the anger of me. I’m a warrior but I’m quality”

This is a gift for everyone. For their classmates, for their coaches and now provide interviews. Since he gave the first to Rotterdam, certainly in this newspaper, before the final 2023 Nuncicee, Pablo Páez Gavira, Gavi (Los Palacios and Vilafranca, 20 years old) became bigger, by strength. He suffered an injury where he broke his knee and a year and a half that he was important to Barça and returned to the national team. On his return to red he wanted to sit again with MD. With the clear message, without fear of the microphone, older, more gavi. He became a veteran of 20 -Year -old.

She was happy to return to choice.

Yes, the truth is very happy. It has been a long time since I arrived, after the serious injury I had, and I always enjoyed it with my colleagues.

Hansi Flick, on March 15, on the call, said a very clear phrase: “Gavi will be one of Barça’s superstars and will be in the 2026 World Cup.” This call seems to be a first step.

Yes, I think. This is a step forward, but it is clear that the important thing will be next time. Be at a very high level, because of this you need to perform a maximum. It depends on the next season, but I know that G. trusts me a lot, both in Barça and here on the national team. I’m hiding that. Although in the end, trust should be shown on the farm and I will.

It is expected that it can enter March, but is now in June. How is it managed to choose? Did Luis de la Fuente speak it?

Ultimately many players in choice and not all can be. It is true that I was injured here and Luis always cares for me. He always asked me how he was, he was pending. Before I was injured, perhaps, the player who played the most games, or one of the most. In recent months I have not been in touch with her, but I am happy to be with her again with all my students. Everything remains the same, and I am very happy with Mr. And everything. I hope we can win these countries.

He is a dear player here. Last year he showed when he was invited to the final euro and was able to celebrate it with them. He said a lot about the team and what they loved.

I was very happy when they told me to celebrate the eurocup with them. I suffered a lot, I was angry there, because I should be there. But well, these are things that happen in life. I haven’t won that eurocup yet, but I’m sure life will give me a lot of joy.

Hope in the World Cup.

I wish. Let’s start with these countries.

Let’s talk about your relationship with Hansi Flick. He usually has a lot of deal with the coach: he looks at the hugs, his field talks…. He speaks to you very well. How is this relationship?

Very close, I think it looks. But not only me, with the whole team as well. He is a person who is always for what you need, and it is very important. I think this is part of what we won this time.

In his recovery process he, especially his family and his representative Iván de la Peña. What did you learn in all this? What did Gavi change?

This is a very difficult process. I have never had serious injuries. It costs a lot, and it is very young. But all suffering is worth it. I learned a lot from this injury, especially to banese my strength, to endure my feelings. Not every day they are good. There are days when the knee is not just as good. It’s a suffering, but when you get to know your goal, to play football again, which is what makes me happy, everything is worth. And that is thankful to my family, Iván, and especially Paul, Jon, Chechu, Alexander Echevarría … They always support me, and thank them for playing and I’m happy.

And have a partner? Perhaps some who go through some similar situations.

In the end, with what I was taking were Ansu, Pedri, Lamine, Fermín … I left some, sure, but I was always with them. The whole team always supports me, because we are a family.

Now I mentioned Ansu. We saw him honey publicly on networks. For anything especially?

No. People certainly thought it was because they left, but they couldn’t do anything. This is because I have a very good memory of him. I have been with him since he was a kid in Masia, and see how far we have come to me a chicken. Whenever I see pictures of her as small and now … I’m happy.

There have been two phrases that have been viral in recent months. One: “Many people believe I don’t know how to play football and have no idea of ​​sex.” And another: “Many people do not know how broken it is a knee injury.” Why did he say this?

The first, most of all, because many people see me as a competitor, a warrior, or whatever they want to call it. And I, I am very competitive. But I also have quality to the ball, and many people don’t appreciate it. I understand the people who hate me on my way of playing, maybe for them it isn’t glad to see. But many people are undervalue in aspect of football, with a ball. They have no idea for it. But while those who know about football know how good I am on the ball, I don’t care. Ultimately, you seem to be competitive and quality, as if things are the opposite. I will always be the same.

Why do you say there are people who are angry with him? By your gaming style?

Yes, you know where it came from. But while I love Barcelona, ​​I don’t care about others.

Who makes a lot of value is Luis Enrique, who only wins the champions.

For me this is the best. It was a number one, a series, both of him and his staff. I’m happy for her. This made me a debut on the national team, before the European champion, Italy, in San Siro. I will never forget that day. And he had eggs to wear, because all the people threw him away. I’m happy for her and she deserves it all.

PSG will be happy to have it. And it was just like here that he didn’t play too much, Gavi could look for a few minutes. What did you respond to there? Do we have Gavi for a while at Barça?

Yes, I’m very clear. People believe what they read in any medium …

May PSG love him, I believe.

Yes, it can be. And I understand people who can believe it. But that won’t happen. Calm me. My illusion and my thinking are to do all my career in Barça. This is the club of my life and where I want to succeed. I don’t like anyone else, and I’ll give everything possible to do it.

Despite his youth, both in Barça and in choice, with a very young change of rooms, he already has an ancestor. Would you like to use that leadership? Do you need to advise the youngest?

I always try to be the same. When I arrived on Barça’s first team I had an amazing captain, Busi. I wish he could stay longer to continue studying more with him. In my first year I was 17 years old, and if this happened to me or something wrong, Busi got my attention. That is important. Now I’m 20, but I’m four years old in the first team. I try to figure out the maximum of veterans so that tomorrow, I can give the best advice to the kids.

Who now plays that role of Busi?

For me the busi is unique, but maybe Marc may have that function. Even so, the busi will not be ordered. I wish I was with us.

You are an early star and now you have another early footballer next to you: Lamine Yamal. Does it give you any advice to manage all of your living?

What Lamine doesn’t care about everything and this is the best thing. It doesn’t matter what people say, anyone. He focuses on playing football and makes people happy. It has been a few hours and I hope it will continue. You need to win many titles in this club.

Do you see him as a golden ball candidate? Because now the PSG has won the Champions League there is a debate with Dembélé, Spain’s rival tomorrow.

Of course. For me, the time he made was amazing. He was given a lot to win these three trophy. In the semifinals of the champions, I think a player like this is rarely seen. He was not accompanied by the team, in the sense that we did not win the best was not very visible. Winning the Champions League gives you a plus. For me, the ous (Dembélé) should be in the top-3 of the golden ball. In addition to being my brother, he is an amazing -amazing player. I always seem to me, always. And if either of the two wins, it would be a luxury. Pedri can also be, obviously. But this trophy is usually taken by a striker.

Returning to you, this course has played in many positions. Which is more comfortable?

At a personal level, with this procedure, I will tell you that 6 or 8, in double pivot. There I was comfortable, both in defense and attacking. I think this is where I can give my best level.

To end. What is this time? And what will improve to win the Champions League?

We lack that experience in the main moments of the party. This is a small detail marked or not in the final. In the champions we are guilty that they have put in many goals. We also marked, but that was not enough. That should improve next year to win champions: Defend better.
