What if Fermín played Gavi?

Last season, locating the famous key that has now gone missing again from the score came with the addition of a fourth midfielder. The chosen one was Gavi, who from the very difficult position of false left winger compacted the team, gave more continuity to the development of the game and even contributed goals. Seeing Fermín in action last night, and assuming that the possibility of signing players in the winter market is the same for Barça as the possibility of buying a yacht with space for helicopters, it wouldn't be a bad idea for Fermín to do scary games in by Gavi.

Fermín is not Gavi, the shots are not that way, but he bears a certain resemblance to him. He spent years at La Masia and therefore has all the notions required of a midfielder who seduces Xavi: position, association and minimization of ball losses. The student (university), like his injured teammate and friend, is aggressive and also has a sharp look as he gains meters, as was seen in Barbastro when he opened the scoring.

Fermín's competition is little. The drama of Barcelona is the fate of the youth squad. Let's not fool ourselves, the extremes have come to fruition. Raphinha continues to waste cartridges without showing improvement. The benefit of the doubt has completely disappeared in the case of the Brazilian, whose price is outrageous in relation to his performance. The first part of him in Barbastro was a summary of his performance: endearing will and invisible overflow, this time against a side from which four categories separate him. The goal he scored does not save him from bad judgment. Nor does João Félix seem interested in denying the fame that precedes him. They said about the Portuguese that he is a footballer who does not like to run and at Barça it gives the impression of managing his moments with a nerve that is not acceptable in the elite. When he doesn't feel like it, his spoiled star gestures give him away. It's a shame because it has quality. Ferran Torres, for his part, does like to run but in another Barça of higher quality he would be a secondary actor.

What almost always happened to Xavi's team again in Barbastro. He had to finish the first half with a 0-4 to take a break and had a hard time due to a lack of effectiveness that was sold as a lack of luck and what it is is an absence of quality. Hence the idea of ​​using Fermín more: he is honest and at least one does not despair when seeing him.
