With the signing of Ilkay Gundoganthe late arrival of Joao Felix and the weight they have in the team Frenkie de Jong y Pedrithere were many who were quick to predict a difficult season for Gavi. The substitution in the league premiere in 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 arrive at the Coliseum lacking 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 the drawing on the board, and he no longer lost it with marvelous performances like the one he had at Barça -Betis (5-0). AND Xavi He surrendered to his character at a press conference.
“Gavi “He is the heart of the team, he is a fundamental player, many said that this year he was going to play less, but he is an exemplary footballer,” said the coach after his team’s recital.
Certainly, when Pedri recover, Xavi He will have to sacrifice some important player in each game because not everyone fits in the eleven. But, as he said in reference to the goals of four forwards, competition is the key because it will allow quality rotations.
“When they put someone next to you who is direct competition, you have to give more. It happened to me when a player from my area was signed. If the one next to you flies, you also have to fly. Now the problem is mine to decide,” he explained Xavi. It also applies to midfielders.

In the chapter of praise, beyond what he already did Joao Felix y João Canceloinsisted on applauding Ferran’s transformation (“he was the one who wanted to stay and it has a lot of merit to turn the tables as he has done with impressive mental strength”) and also had praise for Lewandowski: “Robert has had two very good games, against Osasuna and against Betis, he is enjoying himself, he no longer has to go out of position so much, he seems happy.”
