Skimmed that video and it seemed like a piss poor video tbh, and the comparisons to Xavi or Iniesta are still just as piss poor.
Pedri is playing very much unalike Di Maria now, too, but that is because he is so extremely fatigued and can't seem to run at all. He is still a bit alike him in what he sees (both him and Di Maria see quite a lot, although not close to as much as Xavi or Iniesta) but he is too tired or afraid to try a forward pass most of the time, so he is mostly just content with playing backwards or to the closest one sideways. As he is so young he is very much praised for it.
It is good that I am not the coach of FC Barcelona, because it is true that I almost fall in love with some players style (just like Koeman does). I have offered very many constructive critiques to someone like Puig on this forum though, I think I could guide him to greatness! Pedri too tbh. If I had a bit more time on my hands I'd create a great tikitaka Barcelona in FM out of this squad and just buying former la masia players, but even that wouldn't be enough for some of these negative posters! They want rappers with tattoos! Weighing at least 70kgs!
