Barcelona midfielder Pablo Páez Gavira ‘Gavi’ has assured this Wednesday, after qualifying for the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey with a victory against Betis (5-1), that His Uruguayan teammate Ronald Araujo “wants to stay at Barça” and has expressed his confidence that he will continue at the club.
“Do you want me to tell you if Araujo is going to stay? I don’t know, I’m not going to tell you. The culés have to be calm. Many journalists invent things, many things appear in the press that are lies. Araujo wants to stay at Barça and I trust that it will stay. I trust that Araujo has always wanted to stay,” explained the Andalusian player in the mixed zone of the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium.
Gavi has responded that He “doesn’t care” if they have to face Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, because Barça’s intention is to “always go and win.” “Our goal is to win as many titles as possible,” he remarked.
Asked about the position in which coach Hansi Flick has recently placed him, closer to the forwards, the Spanish international admitted that he feels “comfortable”, but also recalled that he can “play in various positions in the middle of the field” according to “what the coach decides.”
“I’m here for whatever he and the team need,” he added.
Gavi explained that in the first half he received a blow to his left knee, which ultimately amounted to “nothing” beyond the impact, and he was “happy” with the fact of having scored two goals in the last three games.
“I don’t set a specific number of goals as a goal.. The most important thing is the team’s victories. And if I can score, the better,” stressed the Barcelona footballer.
Finally, Gavi has opined that Barça’s decline in the months of November and December “was not because of the game, but because the ball was not going in.” “We deserved to win all the games in which we lost points. We have to do like today: score goals, be calm and enjoy,” he summarized.
