XAVI ANSWERED: Why does Gavi play with his laces untied at FC Barcelona?

Like millions of culés, Xavi Hernández wondered why Gavi play with the laces untied. And upon investigation, the 17-year-old midfielder told him it’s a matter of comfort.

It feels comfortable like this. It is, in fact, a custom that was born from his days in the lower categories. And since this is regarding the sensations of the player, well Teacher Does not interfere. If this is good for you to render, there is no problem.


WHY DOES GAVI PLAY WITH UNTIE LACES? – XAVI VERSION

“He says that he is comfortable, that he is fine, that everything is calm. Even if he ties them up he doesn’t play as well (laughs). He gives us a lot of intensity, a lot of rhythm, good circulation. He has to improve in many aspects. But hey, he’s 17 years old. And very good. Very well. The truth that surprises maturity. He has to improve in many things, but maturity how he plays, how he competes and how he competes. That intensity, the duels. He has a tremendous soul. Brutal”released the Spanish coach, at a press conference.

Not long ago, Nico González, one of his youth partners, had already joked regarding it following a UEFA Champions League match once morest Dinamo kyiv. He uploaded a photo in which he appears helping him tie the knot and accompanied it with the following message: “It’s time to learn…”.

By the way, this free tape thing reminded us of an anecdote from the great Diego Armando Maradona. The legendary Fluff he always warmed up with his boots untied if his sponsor brand was nice to him (to generate more impact on them). A Marketing Genius: “I asked the sponsor for 20 pairs of boots. If the sponsor brought me 18, I would lace up my boots. I tied them from the locker room. So the photographers didn’t come. The other week I asked the sponsor for 40 pairs of boots and he brought me 45. So, I untied them. And when I was going to lace up my boots -on the field- all the photographers came and took my picture”.

Gavi does not have that commercial interest, but surely Nike He’s not bothered at all by the spread his studs are getting, HA.
