Barcelona midfielder Aleix Garrido is seeking more first team chances next season.
Garrido admits he’s drawing inspiration from Gavi.
He said, “We’ve enjoyed a lot together. We get on well and we maintain our relationship. We’ve been thinking about playing together in the first team, but it’s very difficult. He seems to have made it and now it’s my turn.
“All my life I’ve had the Barça DNA instilled in me. You’d turn on the TV and see Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta with Messi in front and you’d say: ‘If I focus on them even a bit, as long as I have something of the thousand things they have, it would be good.’ We had the best players at Barça and it was obligatory to focus on them.”
Garrido has been likened to Pedri and added: “Comparisons are inevitable, but it doesn’t cross our minds as footballers.
“You’re never going to look like Xavi, Pedri or whoever. I look at them, but we have nothing to do with each other.”
