Pedri again received an award yesterday, the Kopa trophy, which once again positions him as the best player under 21 years of the course.
For those who have not been lucky enough to see him play so assiduously, the canary is a very complete player capable of both filtering an unlikely pass and being the first to apply pressure after loss, hence his high number of balls stolen by match.
Despite his physique, he is a very difficult player to shoot and reach because he has an enviable stride that he uses to avoid rivals using an acceleration available to very few footballers. In the last European Championship he was chosen as the best young player of the tournament, with Busquets being the best Spaniard of a team that reached the semifinals.
This season we have not been able to enjoy his football, because the enormous load of matches that he accumulated last season has led him to miss these months of competition due to injury. That does not mean that all the experts predict an enviable career once he recovers from these physical problems.
Except for absolute surprise, he will be one of those in charge of dominating Barcelona’s midfield for years to come, as he is not lacking in quality and personality. His roof will be where he marks it himself, because the conditions are there and the attitude seems to be too, but with these young footballers you never know. Although Pedri may not seem like it, it must be recognized that many end up throwing in the towel and becoming mediocre players.
In Barcelona it is already an institution with only 19 years old, and the fans are very proud and grateful for the football that at their young age they have been able to give to the Camp Nou. Everyone’s wish is that his return to the playing fields stops lengthening and we can once again enjoy the Pedri of yesteryear, one of the most destabilizing midfielders in the world.
