He was easily the "worst" player on the pitch in the preseason clasico. And no, he absolutely had some invisible performances (bar the goals, which after all count the most to be fair). He wasn't overall excellent like Frenkie for example (who's older and more settled - to be fair again).
He's also has the most freedom of any mid at a top club in Europe right now.
People like to compare him to Gattuso, but watch any highlight video on youtube and you see in a minute that his close control is downright excellent. He's 19, has 100 games for Barca and wins titles.
Haha ok if want to bring in pre season friendlies go ahead..not relevant to much.
Fermin was better in that friendly.. means nothing for either player in scheme of things.
Nah doesnt have all that much freedom when has to be in final third and in box as much as does.
Gavi isnt Gattuso. He should be a lot better on ball than that and is already.
His close control can be good and bad. Needs to get more consistent on that. Turns into trouble a lot. Also needs to have end product from that close control more often or becomes similar to Arthur in some good moments to turn away from pressure then doesnt have ability to open game up with space has created.
He is a lot better than Arthur though and that should come but currently Gavi doesnt look like will score too often or open game up with a pass.
To be fair Gavi looks better this season than did last when he was absolutely brutal at times. Lets hope he is back on track.
