8 - Pedri

[DonAK]

Did Morata, Ferran or Rodri show more than him? Olmo was ok and Koke probably the best in 1st half but his level also dropped in 2nd half.

I'd say Llorente and Koke were the best players in the first half, by far too.

Even though that's a pretty low bar, yes with the exception of rodri, he was horrible.

Thiago shouldn't be playing as DM, busquets yes because rodri is kinda ass.

Busquets & Thiago + 1

Agree.

 

[vegitot]

Rodri looks like a farmer.

Llorent improved as the game went on, was terrible at the beginning. Lost so many balls.

I was only mentioning players who were subbed but yeah, those two were the best in 1st half.

Some of these players seemed to have a bit of stage fright initially. First tourney for them I think.

Complete different player last year.

BBC were hyping him up a lot pre-match

I thought he was fine, nothing spectacular but wasn't bad.. Spain really are hopeless going forward though, would be surprised if they make it past R16. in a parallel universe, Ansu is fit and puts that Sweden side to the sword tonight.

 

[Skalman]

Very good game from Pedri, although it was a perfect first match for him, Sweden sitting so low giving him eons of time and space.

 

[SeloBarca]

For a 18 year in his first big tournament it was very good.
To bad Spain no longer has any finishers.

"?The one who best understood the game was Pedri . I really liked that such a young player is able to do that. The ball didn't want to go in but I don't think it's to despair. "

5 - After matchday 1 of #EURO2020, Frenkie de Jong is the player to complete the most dribbles in the tournament (5), while Pedri is the only midfielder to register more progressive ball carries (32) than Frenkie de Jong (24). Trademark. #NED https://t.co/VFtOjnF76r
