That tenacity
He really is a 17-year old Vidal, like someone in the match thread called him, but the difference is that he's also pure La Masia born and bred, so he's also technically gifted and can run the game. And that is what makes the difference between good players, who are good at one thing and can thrive in a system and set up designed to fit their strengths. And world class players who have it all.
You have crazy thugs like Vidal and Xhaka who aren't technical and can't be relied upon for calmness and control of the game, and you have technically great players, who don't have the physicality and the tenacity to adjust to playing high intensity football. Gavi has both. Complete package. And at 17. Just imagine him in 5, 10 years if he keeps this up. I am worried he could become injury prone, cause he plays with his heart, but that also means reckless tackling and running into challenges head on, but so far, so good.
