We will tell you the main reason Pedri is the man who can convince Leo Messi to remain at FC Barcelona until the end of his professional career.
Watching Leo Messi smile after yesterday’s Pedri’s assist does bring back memories of better days at FC Barcelona. The captain has always responded pretty well to his understanding with great players on the pitch. It happened when he started his career, he had Ronaldinho by his side to teach him all the secrets of the beautiful game. After that, Leo had Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez to accompany him.
Then came Neymar and Luis Suarez to form the most impressive attacking trio in football history. But after both left, Messi didn’t seem like he had any hopes for the future. That changed over the last few weeks thanks to Pedri, the player who is single-handedly saving Barcelona. But there’s a much more important task that the Canary Islands player is completing. He is starting to convince Leo that leaving might not be the best option for his future.
What is making Messi change his mind?
Leo Messi is a master at smelling other great football players, it’s like they speak their own language with the ball at their feet. Every time he finds one of those talented playmakers, Messi feels at home again. Even though they’ve connected in previous occasions against less complicated rivals, yesterday was a revelation. The game couldn’t get any more complicated than Athletic Club Bilbao in San Mames.
Many even believed Barcelona could lose the match due to their most recent results. But Pedri started working his magic and Leo Messi responded with his goals. The assist Pedri gave to the captain is yet another example of a player who can see two or three movements ahead, like a chess player. Those are the type of ballers Messi wants to play with, and Pedri is definitely one of them. Should Barcelona continue to play as they did yesterday, Leo will change his mind and stay at the club of his life.
