Pedri has so far been one of the revelations for Barcelona this season, after he has overcome his physical problems in recent years. His performance level has also been extremely high, which is delighted by both supporters and club officers.
The 4-2-3-1 system of Hansi Flick played Pedri's hands very well, and while he told EFE (via Marca), he enjoyed acting as one of the two Pivots in midfield.
“I really love this position, because I have contact with the ball, I touch the ball a lot and the game goes through me. In the pivot I feel more comfortable and I learned how I can better position myself in defensive tasks. “
Pedri, who signed a new contract with Barcelona two years ago, also spoke about the dynamic of the dressing room, in which he is considered a leading presence.
“We always laugh and we hesitate because there are many players who are not even 20 years old. We laugh a lot and the good relationship that we have outside the field is transferred to the field.
“There are many young people and because of my seniority I have to be one of the leaders. I like to be one, it's a role that doesn't worry me, far from. I just want to face it to try to win Barcelona titles. “
In the end, Pedri spoke glowing about Barcelona teammate Raphinha, who took the goal of his season to 27 in all competitions during Sunday's 4-1 win over Seville on the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan.
“He earns his success a lot, because there was a time that criticized him. He did not find his best level, but you always saw him train, want to improve, who wanted the opportunities that you knew they would come to him because of how he worked. He is spectacular. “
