8 - Pedri

Most teams look uninspiring in midfield, but almost all big teams have fitter and more in form attackers. If front 3 is gonna decide the winner Spain don't have much claim to the title. France can win it in these conditions with the great firepower they have.

Belligham has been incredible so far. Even Anderson looked great in one or two games. Also, Kone has impressed me everytime I’ve watched him this worldcup. De Jong has been incredible in all games I’ve watched of him so far.
 
He needs to stop fooling around this time, he must be perfect, lost some dangerous balls last game. I don't like how he doesn't add the muscles he needs to be the best.

Bellingham is on one this world cup, different mentality, as an England fan I have to put my Madrid hatred aside and salute.

Jude is thrice the player he is and in no universe are they comparable. One looses the ball constantly and often even with unforced errors, mind you. Too much ball hogging, easily outmuscled, outrun and outpressed. If he doesn’t release ball on time, he literally has nothing to offer to the team. Literally none. I fucking hate to see our rivals scooping generational talent after genrational and we get impressed by La pausa against Laliga minnows and copa del rey farmers. Can’t touch Iniesta’s shoes. Should be benched and we need to buy 3 worldclass /potentially workdclass midfielders for the XI for the long run.

By the end of their careers, Jude will sit beside Zidane, Xavi, Modric and Iniesta as an all time great. Pedri will be nowhere near found. He doesn’t have the talent , muscle, lungs and self-introspection to take his game to the next level, to dominate big games, to be that edge for your team. He ball hogs and then show unnecessary ‘calmness’ to release the ball during the times of urgency and counteracctacking. He doesn’t have that extra yard of pace to be press-ressitant anymore (No, doing La pausa against minnows doesn’t count). You have to be extra press-resistant against elite opponents and super fit teams. And he doesn’t have one ounce of muscle in his body nor he carries lungs like Prime Xavi or Modric or Jude. He is a passenger in big games and sooner the club realises it, the better. I know how many years a club can waste building a team on a player who isn’t clutch enough and who isn’t GOAT material or generational. He will be GOAT spinning here and there making up for highlights of slow motion plays with spanish music against Laliga minnows but he doesn’t have what it takes to dominate at the highest level. Simple. You can call this post the worse of all time one thousand times and it won’t make a dent on what I have seen from him.
 
I don't know why are we even comparing Jude and Pedri. This whole discussion is completely irrelevant for 2 entirely different footballers who don't even play the same role or have a similar playstyle.

Jude is not anywhere near Pedri in everything regarding midfield. Because he is not midfielder and hasn't been playing midfield for club or country since he left Dortmund.

And he will never be. In the final third, Jude has better movement than Pedri and even some strikers. And he knows to finish very well.

Both are huge players with big talent for football but there is absolutely nothing that would warrant a comparison or a rivalry between these two. Yet somehow in the media it is everywhere.

Pedri has more tech, more football intelligence, better passing, better vision. Jude is more gifted physically and with box movement stuff. That should be the end of it.
 
Pedri is more suited to dominating games, Jude is more suited to deciding games.

The two of them would be good together with a third midfielder. But when it comes to winning a pure midfield battle, Pedri wins by a large margin, as we have seen in Clasicos.
 
I guess Jude-Pedri is another proof that El Clasico rivalry creates debates and comparisons where they don't really exist at all

There has to be someone being compared in these 2 clubs at every point. This explains the GOAT "debate"
