João Cancelo Identifies Gavi as Barcelona's 'Soul'
Barcelona's prominent defender, João Cancelo, recently revealed his belief that young midfield sensation Gavi is considered the 'soul' of the club by his teammates within the Blaugrana dressing room.
Gavi has just made his anticipated return to the pitch, concluding a lengthy absence due to injury.
Struggles with recurring issues, notably an ACL tear, have prevented the Spanish international from maintaining a consistent run of elite-level performances since late 2023.
Nevertheless, as indicated, these physical setbacks have not diminished Gavi's esteemed reputation or importance behind the scenes at the Catalan club.
During a media appearance this week, Cancelo, who rejoined Barcelona in January, was specifically asked to name the player embodying the 'soul' of the squad.
The Portuguese full-back elaborated on his choice, stating: "Gavi is absolutely the soul of the team. It's evident in everything he does, both during matches and away from them. He's a truly cheerful and spirited guy who demands a lot from you in training sessions, and ultimately, that drive pushes all of us to bring greater intensity to our game."
