There was recently talk about comparing Gravenberch/Ceballos with Pedri based solely on statistics. But you cannot evaluate players solely through statistics (including advanced ones), ignoring visual viewing of matches. So, visual observation of each of these players suggests that Pedri has simply excellent timing and an exceptional assessment of space. Even advanced statistics will not show this.
I criticized Pedri a lot for his slow feet last season, when he moved as if he was unloading trucks of goods the day before the match. But this season he is very good.
