“It is a very difficult and very difficult moment, for Gavi and Barça, but also for the national team and for me. We have been destroyed, but football has these things, this is the ugly part and it is something uncontrollable. It seemed that we had lost,” said the coach. According to De la Fuente, Gavi is “devastated” and the dressing room looked like “a funeral”.
‘The blow was nothing. It was a bad gesture. It was about control. He took a wrong step and his knee gave out. This can happen in any situation: it was an accident, an accident. It was perfect to play, it was fresh and phenomenal. He just hadn’t played over the weekend and had no problems. With another player we would regret it just as much,” he said.or.
About what Gavi was like, he said that “he was broken and destroyed. He didn’t understand that this could happen to him. We believe that we are invulnerable and that is not the case. At halftime the locker room seemed like a vigil. Life has this stuff. “It is the most difficult and bitter moment I have ever experienced in football.”
What injury does Gavi have?
It is still early to know exactly what injury Gavi has, but it is very worrying. He was in pain, looked at the sky, seemed to go to the dressing room crying and covered his face with his hands, while the Zorrilla crowd applauded him and gave him strength, realizing that Gavi’s injury was really serious.
Spain’s ‘9’ went to the dressing room and it is expected that he will undergo medical tests in the coming hours to determine the extent of the injury. At the moment, his situation is worrying La Roja and also Barcelona. Especially after the Federation confirmed even during the match that Gavi had suffered a “significant injury to his right knee”. Given how careful the medical services are in reporting injuries, the fact that they talk about a “serious injury” already raises the alarm.
Some information even claims that Gavi will miss the rest of the season, including the Eurocup and the Olympics next year.
