The difference between the aura of the Barcelona Football Club at the time of the serious injury of Gavi and the current one is so big that it seems like dramaturgy. One of those perfect melodramas that gently transport the viewer from the desolation to a purified song of life and hope. Barcelona fans could even contemplate how that fertile source whose virtue defeats destiny that the poet spoke of Ruben Dario gloriously materialized at the moment of yesterday’s match against Sevilla in which Pedro wrapped his soulmate’s arm with the sign captain blaugrana.
Between weights, mats and clenched teeth, the prodigal Pablo Martín Páez Gavira has traveled a path as heroic as it is unusual. He was torn from Barça from its bowels at the risk of a dark moment, but come back now to a full team, who count their matches by wins as a direct consequence of having tamed the vertigo, sublimate the pause and recovered pride. Precisely the three qualities that best define Gavi football.
One wonders what it will be your role in the medium term in the elegant turbine designed by Hansi Flick. But it’s hard to answer anything other than protagonist. The famous balance between finesse and viscerality of the palace, a fascinating unicorn in the history of La Masia, seems the ideal complement in the center of the Blaugrana field for the infallible sobriety of Married, the inexhaustible spell of Pedro and the compass of a Dani Olmo who will soon once again be in charge of opening the wing for Balde and countless paths to the goal for the rest of his teammates.
I bet the hardest thing now for Flick will be convince the hungry Gavi, whose first action yesterday was, to no one’s surprise, a savage pressure on the first opponent with the ball that crossed his path, that it is necessary to continue observing an appropriate diet of minutes and intensity against Bayern and Real Madrid, surely the two most tempting delicacies for an insatiable young competitor. The week that starts today will be a good summary of one of the great challenges of the German coach: if he manages add method to Gavi’s blessed madness for his Barça, the prize on the other side of his misfortunes could be colossal. Of course, up to the juiciest fantasies of any culé.
