LCall it revulsive or talisman. The point is that, with Pedri, Spain improves in any of its dimensions. Pedri seems to be unparalleled. After being named best young player of the Eurocup and having been chosen by UEFA to be part of the ideal eleven of the 16th edition of the tournament, the Canarian midfielder still does not set limits. It has been to end his participation with Luis Enrique’s national team and automatically change the chip to Luis de la Fuente’s, with the next stop at the Tokyo Olympics.
A lot of dust raised the presence of the Tegueste player in the great event that the Japanese city will host from July 22 to August 7 in terms of the men’s football competition. At least, that’s how it was in Barcelona. The Ftbol Club Barcelona did not end up seeing with good eyes that its young ‘star’ was summoned with the Spanish national Olympic team, but Pedri endorsed the saying of “foolish words, deaf ears”.
What vision Pedri has! This is how the play began for Soler’s goal at 1-1
In case he had not done enough wear already, he faces the challenge of standing out, once again, in the core of the team led by Haro’s technician. He has also made it clear in the previous test that Spain has carried out against Japan at the Noevir Stadium in Kobe. It did not come out as a starter, but good was able to play a momentous role being one of the first changes of the party by The Red.
The Canary entered in the 67th minute replacing Dani Ceballos Y unclogged a team that, up to that point, had not been able to harm Japan, who took the lead first on the scoreboard with a goal from Ritsu Doan. It did not matter to him that the Japanese were more rolled. It was to enter and the game changed. He made it change by being faithful to the idea of the coach: with intense pace, high pressure and ball control. He became the owner of the game, gave several fantasy passes and, from his boots, the play of the Spanish goal was born. He put a good pass into the hole to Miranda on the left wing and the Betis side assisted Carlos Soler to put the tables on the scoreboard.
Pedri I duped once more leaving half an hour of different footballer. I played like the oldest being the youngest. All a contradiction that delights and excites. There were many voices that asked for his rest after a strenuous season physically and mentally, but the canary brought out his most key facet: ambition. Pedri bear what they throw at him. And so he cleared up any doubts that there might be about his presence in Japan. Now look to Egypt. Everything goes through their boots. It only remains for Spain to know how to assemble the pieces of its puzzle well. The canary wants more.
