Gavi came off the bench in the Barça-Dortmund match, leaving a good impression during his minutes on the field. However, hours before this match, news emerged that doesn't put him in a good light. Culemanía revealed that, days earlier, he was stopped by the Barcelona Urban Guard (GUB) for his driving style, stopping him near the Bowling Pedralbes.
Police sources told Culemanía about the 'stop' of Gavi for his driving: "It's common to conduct these types of checks in different locations around the city. It's also common to stop players from First Division soccer teams".
In this regard, Gavi was driving on the road "in an ostentatious manner," clashing directly with the control being conducted by the Urban Guard. It's a common occurrence, although this incident hasn't been explained in more detail. It's something categorized as 'normal,' with the midfielder being "one of many" professional footballers who drive at a speed higher than the officially marked limit.
Intervention in Barça for Gavi
The matter doesn't end here, as, according to the aforementioned information from Culemanía, Barça had to intervene with Gavi. The famous Alejandro Echevarría, Laporta's former brother-in-law and the president's right-hand man, reportedly did so.
In any case, the club has downplayed the matter, indicating that the issue didn't escalate. Gavi was released by the Urban Guard and continued on his way as if nothing had happened. Now, he will have to be more careful with his speed, trying to reduce it and drive on the road in a more prudent and calm manner.
Gavi Is Fed Up
In recent days, some words from the youth player have gone viral, claiming that his critics "don't have a damn clue". He knows how to play soccer marvelously, as he has shown on more than one occasion. These words have earned him more criticism, like that from the frustrated former Barça footballer, Jofre Mateu.
In any case, Gavi continues doing what he does best: playing well. He has quality, grit, and scoring ability. No one can take that away from him, and that's what makes him a unique footballer. At 20 years old, he has unbelievable talent and a great future ahead. Barça are delighted with him.
