Not the ball comes off he defenders toe quite clearly.

Pedri was trying to flick it over his leg but defender touched it onto his shin then hit foot.

It changes the trajectory completely from Pedri flicking it over his leg to bouncing onto Pedris shin and down onto his foot.

Not deliberate.

Again it is why the defender was mad after it.

I dont know how you are watching this clip.


Its in Slow-mo, you can even play it in .25x on top. And see.

The ball is clearly on the same trajectory as when he started the move. I don't think the defender touched the ball, but even if he did, which I don't belive he did, it still remained in the same trajectory. Maybe just sped up for a millisecond, but that's it. And he clearly meant to control it with his shin, or else he wouldn't have made the move in that trajectory,

So my analysis stays true.
No, he wanted to chip it, and it bounced from defender against his shin pad. He almost rolled his ankle ffs if the ball was 5 cm more on the left when you watch the clip.

Exactly.

What do folk think he did there? Decide to control it onto from foot to shin back to foot?

No chance.

At end of it he adjusts well to situation but it was fortunate bounce that pissed off the defender.

Defender can be mad for any reason, you don't know why he was mad for? So that's a moot point, bringing Defender getting angry. What. LOL

Can someone else tell me, if they see the trajectory changed? Cuz I surely am not seeing it. I am not even seeing the defender touching the ball.

Defender was angry as he got toe to it and it bounced off Pedris shin and onto his foot.

Clearly gets a touch on it.

The trajecgtory clearly changes.

You have zero clue if think Pedri created that action from foot to shin back to foot.

If you cant see defender touch ball thats on you but he clearly does.

Pedri clearly meant to do that not how he did that, but ended up doing it.

You can see his face is "fuck me, that went better than expected".

Pedri didnt mean the defender to get a touch onto his shin and then control it.

The best can say there is he adjusted well after ball came off defender onto shin but even then not so sure.

Dont care whtat the defender was angry for. Clearly he wanted to sniff Pedri's fart, but he couldn't as he was this close. So he got angry.

And yes, Pedri wanted to do that actions.

Its admirable how he handled the situation, ithink its pretty much it from this, not some god divine skill he produced. People need to stop glorifying every single shit someone does.

Lamine nutmeg was pure filth for example, but his awareness was off so other defender intercepted it and he lost the ball. But it was technically skill that only few could do, and thats a more of a story then this

Defender reacts like that as knows Pedri got lucky.

It’s nature of social media and yt compilations. Obviously the times it doesn’t go as well won’t make the cut.

I just came here to say that this dude is amazing, one of the best midfielders for Barca even though I followed Deco, Iniesta, Xavi et al.
