Peruse Gavi's scout report here: Why Enrique made him, Spain most youthful ever player
Profile
Gavi had quite recently turned 17 and had played just 374 minutes of senior football when Luis Enrique, likewise once a refined midfielder for Barcelona and Spain, called him into the public crew to give him his presentation in midfield against Italy, the European heroes. He has quickly arisen at Barça when they are revamping after the takeoff of Lionel Messi and, close by Pedri, has dazzled to the degree that trusts as of now exist that between them they can copy the accomplishments of Xavi and Andres Iniesta, whenever Messi's regarded partners.
"In the three or four spells I have seen him, and it is just three or four, he has left me in presumably that he can be a vital player for the future for Barcelona as well as the public group," said Enrique, likewise once a colleague of Pep Guardiola for club and country, of Gavi while hit him up at 17 years old years and 62 days in September 2021. "Age doesn't make any difference. He's more than prepared. I like what I see."
Strategic investigation
The right-footed Gavi has up until this point demonstrated best in within channels, from where his weight of pass and capacity to break lines while playing the ball improves his colleagues' capacity to enter advances. His specialized capacity implies he can string balls through thin spaces without forfeiting the important detail to supplement his objective's development; assuming that target is progressing to cross, Gavi will play the ball with the fitting weight (beneath) to support an early conveyance and match their step.
Assuming that his colleague's run is rather taking him across the pitch, and away from a marker, Gavi will execute an alternate point of pass with an alternate piece of his foot to send it into that partner's way.
The forward runs he makes (beneath) are comparably successful. He can routinely be seen trusting that an adversary will move towards him and distinguishing that the second nearest rival hasn't moved with them to save their minimization, and consequently cleverly responds at the advantageous second.
He applies a similar profundity of thought when he is the one getting passes or conveying the ball upfield, when his edge assists him with taking a different path and guarantee he remains adequately dexterous to move sideways to keep away from difficulties. That he can wriggle away from pressure implies he routinely focuses on holding ownership, rather than entering advances, as he frequently does while pulling out to towards the ball to help those in guard or at the foundation of midfield. At the same time he exhibits a similar knowledge and feeling of timing by covering the individuals who have progressed, and pulling out into a more profound area when further help is required. In the event that he can keep on improving so there is a consistency to his passes into feet from pressure he will demonstrate significantly more equipped for upgrading his groups' capacity to construct ownership.
He consistently shows a comparative craving and hostility to progress into the penalry region in the event that there exists adequate cover in midfield and, should the runs he make draw in the consideration of his rivals, they can act as a distraction to urge a partner to rather advance the ball - possibly from behind Gavi's underlying development.
His hostility is supplemented by the industriousness (underneath) with which he duels and presses, whether applying a counter press or all the more regularly guarding. He looks to both cover from behind a partner and to leap out to meet the ball and make recaptures. However he can be excessively self-assured, there is a conspicuous plan to recuperate the ball by means of squeezing rather than, basically, applying strain to compel rivals from an explicit area; there are likewise times when he has rather demonstrated equipped for deferring adversaries.
Job at Barcelona
Gavi has generally reliably highlighted as one of the two going after focal midfielders in what is for the most part Barça's for quite some time inclined toward 4-3-3 (beneath), and looks to embrace positions in within channel to, where conceivable, advance and get hidden therein. The quality he has previously shown proposes he is equipped for being given a standard job for the next few years - and one in which he can keep on moving to hidden therein and give cover from behind their propelling full-backs or close by their guarded midfielder, or underlaps within their wide advances.
Jordi Alba, Sergiño Dest and Óscar Mingueza have all profited from Gavi's readiness to help their covers from full-back and the passing choice he gives to restart moves when it is at this point not a possibility for them to progress. The potential mixes he can add to from behind the ball likewise draw rivals before he can bob play into a colleague in a more extensive positions
