Barcelona midfielder Pedro González ‘Pedri’ was convinced that the arrival of Xavi Hérnandez as a new coach will be beneficial for the Barça team. “I am convinced that we will improve with Xavi. He has a very clear idea of the game“, he assured in an interview with France Football.
The canary was “very happy” to have won the Kopa Trophy, which recognizes the best footballer of the year under 21 years: “It is the reward for a job well done throughout the year and it is incredible to be the winner, but the collective titles are the most important.” In any case, Pedri hopes “that it will only be the beginning” of a great career and was “proud to succeed two monsters like Mbappé and De Ligt“.
The Barça midfielder, who is still injured and has not yet been able to play under Xavi’s orders, recalled the best moments of the year that is ending and in which he exploded as a player. “The match against Juventus in Turin will continue to be specialIt was my first start in the Champions League, and on top of that we won and the team played a great game. The other moment is to play alongside Leo Messi, it’s easy to have fun. Every time she played with him, she looked for him. You do not ask yourself questions, you know that he will do things very well, “he summarized.
Pedri explains again that the Real Madrid saw no future in him and that he is very grateful to Las Palmas. “Without Las Palmas, I would never be here talking to you. I had spent a week of tests at Real Madrid, training in the cold. (Laughter.) But, according to them, I didn’t have the level. So it was Las Palmas (at the 15), a natural choice anyway, because any child from the Canary Islands dreams of playing there. It is the most important team, together with Tenerife. Both are also very successful this season in the Second Division, and it would be good if one of them went up so that I could play at home, I learned a lot there and when you are 16 years old, when you enter the professional world, it is important to be accompanied. Pepe Mel was fundamental in this process. The Second Division of Spain is very tough. It’s another football: stronger, more physical, you don’t have the ball like in La Liga with Barça. I think we should underline all the progress I have made on the defensive side. There I gained experience, “he says.
