Can it be that the boys play before they are 100% fit? Sure, they show brutally strong performances, but I think the youngsters just can’t do it physically anymore, btw they can’t.
It’s just a question, please don’t feel offended.
Of course it was bitter for Pedri to take a break again.
Of course, you don’t know if something has become apparent over the last few weeks or if it just happened spontaneously.
If the injury had happened a few weeks ago, one would have guessed he was overplayed. But since he only played once during the international break (and once for 9 minutes) and only for half an hour last weekend, you can’t really put it down to that.
The opinions of sports physicians differ as to whether it is ideal when 18-19 year olds already play so much at the highest level. Some say it’s not good at all because physical development isn’t complete, others say it’s not a problem because players have been trained to the strain for many years. The 19-year-old today is like the 23-year-old 30 years ago.
