According to Fernando Polo of Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona center star Gavi has become one of the team’s leaders, even though he is only 19 years old.
The La Masia graduate is loved by everyone, including his teammates, the boss, the sports department, and the fans. Even rival players like Dani Carvajal, Joselu, and Alvaro Morata have said nice things about him while he was on the Spain national team.
Even though he is only 19, Gavi has become one of the faces of the new Barcelona under Xavi. He gives his all on the field for the team, which has made him a fan favorite and earned him the respect of his peers.
The study talks about several reasons why Gavi is a leader at Barcelona. These include his physical fitness, strength, and endurance, as well as the fact that his genes have made him injury-resistant, even though he is the player who works the hardest on the field.
Gavi is one of the players who has played the most minutes and with the most intensity since Xavi took over. He has also had no big injuries and is always available, which makes him an important player.
Besides that, the player who graduated from the youth school is seen as a very complete player, even though he could still do better. The 19-year-old has played in many places for Xavi and has shown great technical skill and tactical awareness.
He has also shown that he is ambidextrous by scoring eight of his 12 career goals with his left foot, which is not as strong.
What makes Gavi unique, though, is how intense and strong he is. The 19-year-old’s sincerity, honesty, and intense personality are admired in the locker room. He gives it his all on the field and isn’t afraid to point out mistakes made by more experienced players.
When Gavi first joined the club, Robert Lewandowski took him under his wing. Even though they are 16 years apart, they still have a lot of love for each other. The Pole thinks of the kid as a “benchmark” player and will even listen to his tips on the field.
Deco, who is in charge of sports, has no doubts about Gavi’s skills or value to the team. In fact, the ex-midfielder thinks the teenager is the team’s most important player.
He wants to extend his deal with this player, even though it ends in 2026.
