Scenario of Gavi
On Gavi’s back, Barça is riding towards the League title . In a game that was more effective than showy, Xavi’s team thrashed the bottom team that was the new coach 0-4 and left Real Madrid 15 points behind. In addition to the triumph, which was what was going to be sought, the victory was recorded with the vindication of some players who needed to feel important. Lewandowski was reunited with the goal twice, Ansu closed a difficult week with a great goal and Ferran Torres, another in question, signed up for catharsis. But none of this would have been possible without Gavi , another headline-grabber, who was the turbocharger for the leader. Elche and Barcelona gave the feeling of mentally planning the game in a similar way, but with different objectives. The local team began an era with Beccacece’s debut on the bench and therefore looked to the long term. Barça, sitting on a comfortable lead in the table, made it clear that they were thinking more about Wednesday’s match at the Camp Nou against Madrid, which is worth a final. The blaugrana, looked at the medium term. Faced with this way of taking life, Gavi emerged, who does not understand postponements, advantages in the classification or negotiating efforts. The Blaugrana midfielder only admits one code: to win. Win duels, win matches, win split balls, and win arguments. And then, when the encounter is over, they will already show you the loot obtained in the form of points. In a match in which the Elche players came out more intense than the Barcelona players, probably due to the new coach effect, Barça survived the first part thanks to their solidity in the game from set pieces. As for the game, more of the same in the games in which Barça gets a ten in percussion and fails in music theory. Lewandowski, with a low shot, in which he shot with his right foot and the ball bounced off his left foot to take a perfect height to overcome Palacios’ crest opened the scoring.
The details
A goal that defined the difference in quality that separates both teams in the final meters, because Barça needed very little to achieve a lot and Elche tried everything to achieve nothing . As an example, the first half ended with six corners for the locals and only one for the Catalans, who could even go into the break with a greater advantage if Lewandowski did not miss a header from Ferran’s cross. It is seen that seeing the success of the peculiar shot that made it 0-1, he tried to update it with another shoulder shot. It didn’t come out, just as Koundé couldn’t end the game with a shot from a play by Gavi, always Gavi, who brought out Mascarell with Badia already beaten.
