Ahead of their quarterfinal first-leg clash with Borussia Dortmund, the last question Gavi took was about whether he felt there was more focus on his on-field aggression, rather than his technical quality.
The Spain international replied: "It is true. Many people think I don't know how to play soccer, but they have no f***ing idea. It is understandable. Everyone thinks what they want."
Earlier, Gavi discussed his relationship with coach Hansi Flick.
He said, "We understand each other well. He knows I come from a serious injury. When you're standing for a year, it costs. But, coming from the injury I come from, my season is being spectacular. I'm happy. He has made me understand that I cannot always be a starter and I have understood that.
"I am playing in various positions from the centre of the field and I think it's a good thing. It is true that the mister sees me more than half a point, but he knows that I can play ‘6′, double pivot. And what I'm trying to do is improve. I think that the more positions you play, the better."
