My Take
I have a soft spot for defensive midfielders like Gabi, the players who do the unglamorous work of winning the ball and starting the play again. Standing 1.80 m and shaped by Madrid football, he strikes me as the kind of pragmatic, intelligent captain a side leans on without ever celebrating loudly. His move into management feels entirely logical: holding midfielders read the whole pitch, and that vision translates naturally to the touchline. Spanish football rewards thinkers in the middle, and I suspect his second act as a coach may quietly outlast his playing reputation.
