The placement cost Spain a lot, which lost Gavi due to a serious injury. The Barcelona player broke down about 20 minutes into the first half and his right knee is affected. There is talk of a serious injury, one for which De la Fuente will be hit hard. Of all colors and sizes. The coach can now go buy a steel umbrella. ‘Because Gavi plays everything, even though Spain has already qualified and is playing at home against the all-powerful Georgia?’ is the criticism in the form of a softer question that they are already starting to ask on social networks. The ‘9’, who had just played 90 minutes against Cyprus in Limassol, also started in Valladolid.
“Gavi is hyperactive. He always wants to play. Good players never rest. That is why they are good and special. You have to measure those efforts, but when you’re young… Besides, you’re physically gifted. We are still in November, a time when the players are still fresh,” De la Fuente had said yesterday when asked in the press room about the enormous number of games and minutes that Gavi was racking up.
After tonight’s game, De la Fuente was on the verge of tears, saying they were “destroyed in the locker room.” “If it’s not Gavi, it could be someone else. This could happen at any time. It was an accident and an accident, but Gavi was perfectly fit to play, just like everyone else,” he said.
In any case, his team was the first in Group A to advance to the European Championship by winning in the Municipal José Zorrilla with goals from Robin Le Normand, Ferran Torres and an own goal from Lochoshvili. Kvaratskhelia had temporarily equalized for the visitors.
