Original Title: [La Vanguardia] Gavi: “Sometimes I rewatch the game, I look at myself in some action and think: ‘Damn, how did it occur to me to do that?’ But my mother suffers more than I do, she always tells me not to get into fights and she gets very scared. But in the end it’s football.”
Pablo Gavi: “The person I admire the most is De Jong. When they said he could leave, I was screwed.”
“What I would be able to do for Barça? Everything, everything. I would do everything, anything.”
“Giving few interviews? It’s out of shyness, and I also like to focus on football more, but I’m improving in that aspect, I know I have to do it.”
“Whether I know that there are a lot of fans of me? A little bit, yes. I notice it on the streets and on Instagram. But I try to isolate myself from that.”
“What I you like to hear the most about myself? That I’m a shy boy, but a good person with everyone. That’s how I want to be valued.”
“Where my love for Barça comes from, growing up in Andalusia? It comes from seeing the best team in history, Xavi’s Barça, Iniesta and company. From that moment I was from Barça and I will always be.”
“Whether I was afraid to move to Barcelona at the age of 11? Yes, very. I remember that two months earlier I told my parents that I didn’t want to come, that I was afraid to find whatever it was. Today I thank my parents, they were the first to be clear that they should bring me here.”
“I was very small and back then I didn’t want to leave my town, to separate myself from friends. It was a total change of life.”
“I have spent my entire childhood here at La Masia, almost since I have a conscience, it means everything to me.”
“I especially idolized Iniesta, but also Verratti and Isco.”
“I’m a left interior. I’ve always been. Xavi knows where I am most comfortable, but he always trusts me a lot and in each game whatever the position and I try to do it well for the coach and give it my all.”
“I’m a football geek, I watch many games with friends at home, especially in the Premier League. I like some teams more than others. I follow Manchester City and now especially Brighton because they play well and Ansu Fati is also there.”
“I see Ansu well. I am convinced that he will regain confidence and hopefully he will come back to us. We have been friends since we met at La Masia and I want him to always be fine.”
“Compared to last year, I have improved in pausing the time of the plays.”
“I consider myself a fighter, until the end, and I will never lose that.”
“Campaign against me from Madrid last year? I was aware of it, but I was calm. Xavi helped me and I didn’t care what certain people said.”
“Playing all my life for Barça? I wish it could be like that, happier than at Barça I’m not going to be anywhere else.”
