Great defending but expect more towards the goal.

Wow.

I knew he’d won it back loads.

Amount of attacks and counters that will create.

Iniesta was also quite good at tackling and intercepting. Pedri's lanky legs make him even better in that regard. Good game overall, but his final ball was lacking again.

ok but he needs to start feeding through balls if he will be the future CAM

He has already showcased his through ball ability, not today but in the previous games. Not worried about that.

 

[Jallo]

His defending is so effortless and smooth, it?s like the opposing players just give him the ball.

 

[Devils]

Sheesh.

Pedriesta

What a player!

Agree, he anticipates really well

Imagine one of the youngest, shortest, lightest guys in the team beating defensive records which have stood for over 10 years........

BBZ’s worst nightmare.

Well, this game was physically very demanding and he has run a lot and doing so at a pretty high pace. Can't blame him to lack the necessary freshness in his legs in the final third. He has time to improve that.

Thought BBZ like him.

And he is taller than Messi, Puig...

Haven’t seen him praising him but could be wrong. 174cm is pretty short imo....

I’m messing with him anyway... it’s become a meme now.

Still no sign of BBZ to take the L

 

[Andresito]

Let's hope he becomes more of an animal in the box. Just hit it when you see the goal bro.

His defending style reminds me of Busquets. Very pleased with him not being overly dependent on "highlight" scenes only like a lot of young players. He looks well rounded already. I am hopeful.

The one I would compare him to is maybe Di Maria. A bit more composed and a bit less of a typical winger, but I still feel that he is a winger playing in the center.
He is tricky, good 1v1, works hard, combines well. But I don't see him having the vision of a midfielder, more of a winger (he sees the tactics better than the strategics, to put it in chess terms)
