Gavi, goleador in way 'Petr Cech'
The mote mentioned by Nico and Álex has to see with the resemblance of the helmet of Gavi with which used during the greater part of his career the Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech. The guardameta suffered a fracture of skull in a party of the Premier League in 2006 with Chelsea and, since, used a helmet of rugby to protect his head until his official retreat with the Arsenal in 2019.
From here the nickname 'Peter' that so much Williams like Balde have assigned to the mediocentro of the Barça. In principle, the Andalusian only will use the protection while his ear finishes of sanar, since the sangrado forced to plant him staples in plenary split in Pamplona. Another player that used this type of helmets in his career was the Romanian Cristian Chivu, ex head office of the Ajax, the Rome and the Inter of Milan.
