“I’m very happy to be back with the team after such a long time. The truth is that I’ve been dreaming about this moment for many months and I’m grateful to my teammates because they’ve made everything easier for me,” he said.
Gavi expressed his gratitude to his teammates for their unwavering support throughout his rehabilitation period. Their encouragement, he revealed, played a vital role in helping him push through the difficult months of recovery.
Being away from the game for so long gave Gavi a new perspective on the sport he loves. Watching his team from the sidelines was a tough experience, as he longed to be part of the action.
“The worst thing has been not being with the team. Watching your team from the outside, every game is very hard.”
He now values every moment on the pitch more than ever before, understanding the importance of not taking anything for granted. His journey back has also taught him to appreciate the support he receives from both his teammates and the fans.
“You have to enjoy every moment and value things. That is something I have also learned and I feel very lucky to be here today,” he noted.
