Quality, aggressiveness, intelligence… Exhibition in the middle of the best Gavi

Gavi Goes on doing merits to be still in the eleven of the FC Barcelona this season. In front of the Real Betis, the one of The Palaces and Villafranca did not stop to run, put and drive during the 90 minutes in the 'manita' culé to the group 'verdiblanco' (5-0), the first big performance of the Barça this season like venue in Montjuïc. And it is that, without Pedri neither Gündogan, the Andalusian had the opportunity to return to his natural place.

Like interior, the player of 19 years can have more freedom to deploy his usual physical game. But Gavi is much more that an aggressive footballer. His quality and intelligence allow him be a wheel of constant help for a Barça that, in front of the Betis, presionó in contrary field from beginning to end, with a very offensive diagram that gave resulted in little time.

Placing, sacrifice, leadership... Gavi Keeps on being a 'todoterreno'

The '6' could 'rid' of his protective helmet after a pair of weeks taking care his right ear and went back to lucir the characteristics that better define him: always very planted to give continuity to the game blaugrana and recover balloons with rapidity when the contrary threat to the against. And, with the balloon in the feet, went a guarantee, completing 56 passes (96 % of tarpaulin).

The plan of the Betis was very basic, betting by the balloons to the space like only offensive weapon and, thanks to the work of Gavi, Frenkie and Oriol, his possibilities were reduced to the minimum. In fact, the ones of Manuel Pellegrini grieve arrived a pair of times with danger to the arch culé in the first part, found timely answer of Ter Stegen in the clearest, just before the descaso. Xavi freshened the centre of the field in the complement with the entry of Gündogan by Romeu and so much Gavi as Of Jong were still in the his: Ordering the exit of the Barça with a Betis already delivered after the goal of free shot of Ferran Torres.
