The man from Tegueste explains what it means to have someone who has been a great midfielder as a coach
On the conquered League, he assures: “People discredit it for the points we get from our rivals, but it is due to our merit”
Pedri is one of the great architects of Barça’s League title. The midfielder, when he has been available, has been a fixture for Xavi Hernández, of whom he assures in an interview with GQ Hype, of which he is the cover photo, that he is always very aware of him.
“I play in the same position in which he played and it shows. He has experienced it from the inside and now he sees it from the outside and he can explain the ins and outs of the game to me. He always tells me to look before we receive and I think it’s a very important thing to see where your teammates and the opponent are, because it helps you know how much time you have to do what you want to do with the ball. It is one of the things that helps us the most& rdquor ;, analyzes Pedri.
A comfortable League
There are those who underestimate this Barça League due to the ease with which they have conquered it. And for Pedri it is the opposite. “We have won the League four days before it ends, We have had it much more comfortable than on other occasions And it is true that people discredit it for the points we get from them. If we get those points from them, it is due to our merit, because we have not left points when they have. That in the end makes the difference& rdquor ;, explained the man from Tenerife.
The midfielder also spoke about the injuries and acknowledged that, “at the beginning, they are always fucked up. You never want to leave the field of play, but when you assimilate it you try to be there as soon as possible& rdquor ;.
He explained how he takes it now and the importance of the mental aspect to prevent and deal with them. “Now I am more careful with the work before and after training sessions and matches. I think it’s the most important… We also have a psychologist at the club who helps us a lot. I’ve never had the problem of getting injured and then coming back scared, so to speak. I have to forget about what happened and play like before.”
Pay attention to Gabri Veiga
Pedri reiterated his admiration for Iniesta, his great reference and also pointed out that of the current midfielders, he pays close attention to Bellingham, his teammate Gavi… and Gabri Veiga from Celta. “From Bellingham, for example, I like to watch his games. I also learn from Gavi how all the balls go and he doesn’t give up one for lost. Gabri Veiga is also exploding and I really like to see how he plays. You learn from everything,” he concluded. Canary.
