Gavi: “They have no idea how good I am”
Gavi previously slammed his critics who have doubted his talent as a footballer.
The Spain international doubled down on his comments, saying “they have no idea about that football side of things.”
“People just see me as a competitor, a warrior or whatever you want to call it,” Gavi said in an interview with Mundo Deportivo, after being recalled to the Spain squad for this week’s UEFA Nations League final four.
“I am, I am really competitive, but I also have quality with the ball and a lot of people don’t value that.”
“I understand people hate me for the way I play, maybe for them it’s not that fun to watch. But a lot of people undervalue me as a footballer, with the ball.”
“They have no idea about that football side of things. But as long as those that know about football know how good I am with the ball, I don’t care.”
Barcelona is where he will stay
Gavi returned to the Spain squad last week for Thursday’s Nations League semifinal against France after suffering an ACL injury in 2023.
Prior to his injury, Gavi was a regular for his country, earning 27 caps after making his debut at 17 under Luis Enrique.
Speaking of Enrique, Gavi congratulated his former coach for guiding Paris Saint-Germain to a Champions League victory.
“For me he’s the best, the No.1,” Gavi said. “I am delighted for him. He gave me my debut for Spain, in the San Siro against Italy, who were European champions at the time.”
“I will never forget that day. And he had balls to put me in, because a lot of people were criticising him.”
Despite his good relationship with Enrique, Gavi insist that he has no intention of leaving Barcelona.
“That won’t happen,” he said. “I want to spend my whole career with Barça.”
