8 - Pedri

[serghei]

No one said he is 2nd coming of Xavi or Iniesta, although he has shown potential of being a great player.
Also age is such huge factor.
For example, when Xavi was 2 months younger, he had only 1 game on first team bench.
When he was 10 months older, Xavi had 26 games, Pedri already has 16, most likely surpassing Xavi first season's number of games when he is almost a year younger.
Iniesta had total 9 games when he was 6th months older, and in an even worse Barca team.

I remember when Messi was promoted, I have seen many posts that "he is good talent, but he isn't anywhere near Maradona" and here we go, we legitimate argument that Messi might be the goat.

And sure, for every Messi, there were Dos Santos is the next Ronaldinho, or Bojan is the next balon d?r talent etc
Let's give it time, he is an exciting talent, same as fati, in a team that S.Roberto was the last youngster to make it in the club before that duo.

Top post.

I don't even know if he has weaknesses, unreal player especially for his age. Hope new president can surround him with conditions that could help him become even better.

Excellent economics of time and space with this guy. Does that Iniesta thing of making difficult things look easy. A joy to watch.

I love that when he gets the ball in tight spaces, you as a fan, just know he has options and will find a pass or escape from any angle. And to think he has that spatial awareness at just 18. Completely selfless decision making too, he will dribble if he needs to, but more often than not will play the best pass available. Compare that to Puig (for example) who's instinct it is to dribble and then play the simple pass when sometimes all that is needed is the simple pass.

Not making this a Pooge vs Pedri debate, just pointing out that Pedri has a more desirable game for a manager. But both together- boomtown.

Shooting is one. If in a good position, just take the shot. He's probably average or under average in the air.

I want to see our midfielder shoot more if they find the space.

We'll be a top-4 team no matter what happens as long as Fati and Pedri keep playing and developing. Build a good team around them and we'll challenge for the title every year.

Typical Barcelona fan thinking. How about challenging for the CL every year instead of just LA liga?

Well CL wont come without at least being standard to challenge for league consistently so you are being a bit harsh there with the 'typical Barcelona fan thinking'.

Not that it even makes sense really as I dont think any Barca fan only wants to challenge for league and not improve in CL also.

What!!???
Barcelona-fans typically takes domestic trophies for granted, and considers the season a failure if they dont win CL.

 

[Vilarrubi]

Unreal player. What a bargain.

 

[MagIX]

What a player! only 18 !
Better than nearly half billion investment Dembele-Griezmann-Coutinho

 

[raedkuwait]

[Devils]

Oh my god. What a player.

I don't event have the words anymore.

 

[Horatio]
