Honestly, I was already expecting it.
In the end, since my debut, I'm a player who has always received it, and
and to be honest with you, I've never let it get me down. It's something that,
that…
I mean, it's not that I like it, because obviously I don't like receiving
criticism, but it's
something that always motivates me more, uh…
and, and I see it as normal in, in football.
In the end, when you're in the spotlight and everyone
is watching you,
uh…
it's for better or, or for worse, right? In this case, well,
the other day we played poorly,
the whole team. Maybe I received more criticism than
others, and
and it's understandable, and
and I was already expecting it, honestly.
But maybe, for example, if Ferran's goes in, I mean, or,
or one of the
others that, that miss by a hair, maybe nobody notices Gavi's position,
Right? It's... do you think that sometimes people judge a lot
based on the result?
Of course, obviously. As I said, then I tell you that people don't
have a clue about football, but a lot of people don't know about football,
that's how it is.
Uh... they focus on silly things, on assists,
goals.
For me, football is much more than that, but anyway, everyone sees it how
they want. But as I said, yes... if Ferran's shot had gone in the other day,
uh... and we win the match, then not many
people would do it.
Let's see if you can help me understand, because I think I'm getting lost, you know,
I have to
assure you of that, Gavi. Obviously, you don't have to defend yourself against anything,
but I would like
to know what Luis de la Fuente asked of you for that match, for example.
No, in the end it's, uh... well, it was to give it width
to, to Cuco, and me playing more inside.
And well, on the other wing Ferran was indeed more
open, but since I'm more about
cutting inside, to give width to, to Cuco.
And I think the chan-the-- chances we created were,
uh, on our side, uh, through Cuco and,
and me, in the first half. And, as I say, it wasn't, wasn't easy
because it was a back five and we weren't good with our passes, very sluggish
all of us. But, but well, for example, yesterday Portugal drew with, with Congo,
I think.
Yes.
And I'm telling you, they haven't, they haven't received even,
half the criticism that
we have.
No, no, it's just that fifteen tot-
But I'm telling you, it's, it's normal fo-- at least I see it as normal.
I was already expecting it, because in the end, when you're in the spotlight,
everyone is
watching you.
Mhm.
And the, and the team. And,
And well, this is going to be good for us, to go motivated to the
next match.

La verdad que ya lo, me lo esperaba. Al final, desde que debuté, soy un jugador que siempre ha recibido y, y si te soy sincero, nunca me he venido abajo. Es algo que, que... o sea, no es que me guste, porque obviamente no me gusta recibir
críticas, pero es algo que me motiva siempre más, eh... y, y lo veo algo normal en el, en el fútbol. Al final, cuando estás en el foco y todo el mundo está pendiente a ti,
eh... es para bien o, o para mal, ¿no? En este caso, bueno, el otro día estuvimos mal todo el equipo. Yo a lo mejor recibí más críticas que otros y,
y es algo entendible y, y ya, ya lo esperaba, la verdad. Però a lo millor, per exemple, si la Ferran entra, dic, o, o entra alguna de las otras que, que se escapan por un pelo, potser ningú es fixa en la posició d'Gavi,
no? És-- creus que de vegades es-es-es jutja molt en funció del resultat? Claro, obviamente. Es que como digo, es que después te digo que la gente no tiene idea de fútbol, pero es que mucha gente no sabe de fútbol, es así.
Eh... se fija en tonterías, en asistencias, goles. Para mí el fútbol es mucho más que eso, pero bueno, cada uno también lo ve como quiera. Pero como te digo, sí, ma-- si el otro día entrara la de Ferran, eh... y se gana el partido, pues no lo haría mucha
gente. A veure si m'ajudes a entendre-ho, perquè jo crec que, que em perdo, eh, te-t'ho he d'assegurar, això, Gavi. Evidentment, no t'has de defensar de res, però m'agradaria
saber què et va demanar Luis de la Fuente per aquell partit, per exemple. No, al final es, eh... bueno, era darle amplitud a, a Cuco y yo más metido por dentro. Y bueno, en la otra banda sí que Ferran más abierto, pero yo como soy más de
meterme por dentro, pues darle amplitud a, a Cuco. Y yo creo que las ocasio-lo-- ocasiones que generamos fueron, eh, por nuestro lado, eh, por Cuco y, y por mí, en la primera parte. Y, y como te digo, no, no era fácil porque era una línea de cinco y no estuvimos bien en los pases, muy espesos
todos. Pero, pero bueno, por ejemplo, ayer empató Portugal con, con Congo, creo. Sí. Y ya te digo yo que no han, no han recibido ni, ni la mitad de crítica que
nosotros. No, no, es que quinçi tot- Pero te digo, es, es algo normal pa-- yo al menos lo veo normal. Yo ya me lo esperaba, porque al final cuando estás en el foco, todo el mundo está
atento a ti. Mhm. Y al, y al equipo. Y, y bueno, esto nos va a venir bien para, para ir motivados al siguiente partido.
