Gavi has been the spokesperson for the Spanish national team ahead of the match against Belgium, which could secure a place in the World Cup semifinals. The midfielder asserts that the unity of the group is their main strength.
The Andalusian midfielder, a key player in Luis de la Fuente's scheme, appeared before the media in Los Angeles. Gavi made it clear that the group is above individualities. "It is important that we all have things clear, whether we play or not," he stated.
Unity as a secret weapon
"We must represent the country through unity and each contributing their bit," explained the Barcelona player. "We are very united and one of the best things we have is our unity and knowing that those who do not play also win matches."

Gavi has been a starter in the World Cup debut, but played only a few minutes against Austria. However, his message left no room for doubt: "I came to win the World Cup. The coach knows me better than anyone. We all want to play more, but what really matters is winning the World Cup."
The dream of a bicycle kick in the final
The footballer did not hide his ambitions: "Of course I hope to be important in the World Cup. I dream of scoring the title-winning goal. I have always dreamed of scoring a bicycle kick in the World Cup final. These are dreams, and I hope they come true." Regarding a potential opponent in the final, Gavi expressed: "I would like Argentina for Leo Messi, but as long as we reach the final, it doesn't matter who it is."
When asked about the favourites label, Gavi was cautious: "I don't like to talk about that. Belgium has magnificent players, just like Portugal. We need to do our job very well. If we do, things will surely go well." He also had a message for Morocco, a potential semifinal rival: "France or Morocco? They are both great teams, but I would say Morocco, because they eliminated us in Qatar."
Intensity and character
The midfielder acknowledged his playing style: "I am very intense, everyone knows that. It is normal for some teammates to get fed up with me. I always try to think about the good of the team, whether I play or not."
For the Madrid fans following the national team, the match against Belgium will be a key encounter. Spain is fighting for a place in the semifinals and the dream of repeating the success of 2010. Gavi, with his message of unity, has made it clear that the locker room is more united than ever.
The match will take place this morning at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Fans will be able to follow it live on major sports channels.
