8 - Pedri

[Temptation]

Listening to the Spanish football podcast with sid lowe, they were stuck by the same thing I brought up.

How English fans are going crazy over pedri, after what was basically an average pedri game lol.

But not for nothing, people on here also got caught up, the reaction were was as if he had a worldie, when it was just a good game.

It was because of that lil spin move he did.

Casuals notice these things more than anything else.

They forgot he existed since the Euro2020s since he was injured for the 2024 final and off form versus Inter.

That marseille turn is pure class. And also his elegance moves.

Who's the best midfielder itw in your opinion?

This overrated, clueless, boring cuck is supposed to be a pundit and he just realised that Pedri is good.

Probably because he was busy sucking his daughter's toes.........

He didn't watch international games either? Or CL last season?

Bruv. They were trying to press crazy.
Their midfield is known to be bullies. How can you do that, without being a non-pressing team?

WHAT.

Honestly after the first 20-30 minutes they stopped pressing and more sat in a mid block, with a bit of pressing triggers.

Which is why we couldn't get the ball to start the game, but began to dominate as Newcastle dropped off and started to tire.

Another reason why is didn't understand all the insane praise the Midfield was getting, after the first 20-30 minutes Newcastle basically gave them all the freedom in the world and was just trying to counter.

Love it! She is promoting Pedri for the Bdor. Love to see it.

Fits the stereotype of the English really, surprising for a footballer who has experienced the brilliance of Barcelona football since you do hear some English pundits raving about Flick's Barça who aren't expressly covering La Liga. But in the end, doesn't surprise me

I mean it isn't surprising whatsoever. She's an active professional in the industry.

Many fans have way more knowledge than journalists.

I like how Pedri is completely comfortable at asking the ball from his mates. 2-3 years ago some criticized him for not getting involved enough in the game and went missing.

But now he will move almost anywhere on the pitch to recieve the ball. Xavi-eque workrate (not same style with Xavi though).

Hiding from the ball is the worst quality a midfielder can have. Scott McTominay did this a lot at United.

If you are a midfielder you HAVE TO be comfortable on the ball. Wanting the ball is mandatory.
