It wasn’t the best night gaviAlthough his football has always been known, whether in Barça or in the national team. The Catalan pilot still needs to get used to Luis de la Fuente’s new plan. Coach made it clear from day one that he wanted this to be his team. It was clear with some tactical nuances against Norway. Spain has accumulated more players in the rival region than in the ‘Luis Enrique Era’.

It wasn’t exactly 4-3-3: Spain saves five players ahead of Rodrno. It’s a 4-1-4-1 where Gavi starts almost from the far left but moves in when Balde attacks the group. It’s a familiar formula for Gavi, who has played a similar role in many Barça games this season. Blaugrana started the game with his usual dynamism and energy that characterizes him. But he never finished finding continuity in his game.

Gavi was aggressive in his attacks and generous in his assists, but didn’t make much of an impact offensively. Accustomed to playing indoors with Spain, he did not finish finding this new role in La Roja. Additionally, he didn’t have his comfort zone: Presence of Busquets and Pedri.

Before Norway, some companies changed. De la Fuente recruited players such as Merino, Aspas or Rodri, who returned as a midfielder after his adventure as a defender in the World Cup. Gavi was one of the coach’s first changes. He was replaced by Ceballos, who played a key role in the coach’s under-21 stage and presented as an important rivalry for Catalan.

Now we’ll have to see what plans they have from the source for Gavi in ​​the next matches. It’s closer to the bottom of the game if you keep betting in this more angular position or try to involve it more in the game. The Barcelona player was able to confirm yesterday that he is one of the most popular players of the selection.

Gavi left La Rosaleda clapping at Luis de la Fuente’s debut. The coach’s changes gave new impetus to the team, which won the match comfortably with an unlikely hero, Joselu. An important victory without the best Gavi. Catalan will have opportunities to continue growing: De la Fuente made this clear with his first roster. It has been referred to as one of the pillars of New Spain.
