It’s time to talk about young Pedri and how he single-handedly is saving FC Barcelona from imploding this season. He’s incredible.
Before this season, very few knew who Pedri was for FC Barcelona. Journalists from the Canary Islands have been following his development since he was a child and they knew how important he would be for Spanish football. However, they had no clue where he would end up until he decided to sign for FC Barcelona. A player who didn’t really cost much money, Pedri is the living representation of the Blaugrana’s famous style of play.
Ever since Xavi and Iniesta left the club, Barcelona was looking for the next great midfielder to come along. They finally found that player in Pedri and he is enjoying every minute of it. His relationship on the pitch with Leo Messi is the way for us to realize the potential he has. The captain tends to immediately notice when a player can perform at his best next to him and he instantly starts to partner with him.
Pedri can become the new Iniesta.
Even though this might be a controversial statement, Pedri can absolutely become the new Andres Iniesta at FC Barcelona. He is the type of player who can perform at the highest level and will always deliver good results as an interior midfielder. Both he and Riqui Puig are the future at FC Barcelona but Pedri is already the present. Over the next few months, we will keep looking at his progression and realize he is the real deal.
The club already has an outlined plan for him to increase his muscle mass so he can become an even better player. Up next, Pedri is set to play the last match of 2020 for Barcelona against Eibar. Tuesday is the day the Blaugrana get a visit to Camp Nou Stadium for this match. Pedri will be ready for a new challenge.
