Pedri González has given another step forward this season To be considered one of the best players on the planet. He has shone with Barça and with the national team highlighted against France, especially when Luis de la Fuente placed him more delayed and advanced to Mikel Merino. Pedri was valued in a showcase as large as the UEFA Nations League.
While the debate between Lamine Yamal and Dembélé has been generalized, Pedri is also claimed. He has given the maximum of football reasons to be taken into account.
Pedri himself is in a moment of maturity that leads him to affirm that “it is a pride to be in the conversations about the Golden Ballit reflects the good work done during the season, everything I have worked. Being among these names makes me very happy. “
The Tenerife recalled that The Golden Ball took a step forward with the triumph of a midfielder like Rodri And this gives you options to be chosen, despite not being the most media of the candidates.
Your football as a shop window
Pedri does not have many media speakers, but it has a lot of football. Barça and selection machinery is not understood without its presence in the field. The downturn of Spain after its change against France was the best demonstration, although the meeting of Media Punta began, where does not feel so comfortable how close the pivot.
The player also claimed in this regard: “When I am in contact with the ball I enjoy more and I can help the team more. Where the Mr. I will try to do in the best possible way, But when I changed the position with Mikel Merino, the goal came, I told him that he is playing 9 and has a lot of goal. “
Champions and World
Pedri is that it comes out at the individual level and this is decisive for FC Barcelona and the selection. With both he has the challenge of winning the Champions League and a World Cup, Two objectives that do not refuse in any way. “I can play and win the two competitions, hopefully it is so, although it is not easy. At the moment we are European champions and now we go for all. “
The football of Spain has had an effect similar to that of Barça de Hansi Flick. The selection is attractive because of its way of understanding football and the fans have come up as it did not happen since Vicente del Bosque era with the conquest of the World Cup in 2010.

Pedri attributes this success to that “people have hooked a lot to the selection, Although we are of different teams, we all fight for the same. We look for a cheerful football, enjoy and be respected in the field. The emotion of the fans motivates us to give them more titles. “
Luis de la Fuente has created a “family” in the selection in which, Pedri recalls that, “People forget about the team that you are “and, in their particular case” it is very nice to listen to your name and celebrate a goal with all the fans “.
The new Iniesta
The Pedri phenomenon reminds Andrés Iniesta in La Roja. The Manchego was the symbol of the team and, although it had a lot to do with his goal in the final of Johanesburg, He was loved in all fields for his creative football.
Spain sees another Andrés Iniesta in Pedri, not only because I play with the '8' at FC Barcelonabut also for their game and humility, although when necessary The voice also lifts that it is a frontline crack. There is always some clueless than another.
This season's Golden Ball points to Lamine Yamal, but Pedri will surely be in the first positions of the classification. His game against France, with a goal included, has even closer to the podium of the greatest.
