8 - Pedri

[Messigician]

They need to do 5 a side games in training with him and tell him he is not allowed to pass the ball, only make a yard and shoot. Try to build some goalscoring instinct in the lad.

His aversion to shooting is becoming somewhat comical and he needs to play deeper if he isn't going to change.

Yes Messigician said it best in 2010

Iniesta isn't a key scorer but he scores some key goals...

Pedri must follow in his footsteps

 

[TheStig]

Why can't we play "normal" 4-3-3 where CM isn't this high, almost like a 10? Iniesta never played that high.

 

[Blanco]

Comparing Pedri to Iniesta is pure delusion. You are not making him a favor doing that. He is nowhere near Thiago for example, let alone Iniesta.

 

[TheStig]

Who is comparing him? I'm comparing positions.

Not only about shooting. But also about his attacking instinct. He doesn't show that he can attack space, can move more to open space for attack. Lool at that ham in Madrid, how he move and attack. Pedri doesn't offer dynamisms when he plays in an advanced playmaker role.

Hope that he can change but i have serious doubt.

If Iniesta was asked to play in an advanced role like Pedri recently, i believe Iniesta would play much better. Iniesta could attack space and take on his opponents consistently, something Pedri hasn't done yet.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Iniesta is more a AM while Pedri is better deeper

ham is more comparable with Iniesta, both have these simple but effective skills and great output

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

Ham's not close to Iniesta in combination ability.

 

[Haraldinho]

Compare Ham to Iniesta is just madness.

Guys i didnt say ham is on same level like Iniesta, obviously Andres was another galaxy but the way how they are playing, simple, elegant, effective

 

[Haraldinho]

It is like the Kroos incredible pass this week-end. Everybody was amazed. Wake up guys Messi did that 1000 times et even in World cup against Netherlands. Even Xavi Iniesta and Busquets did that kind of pass a lot.

 

[vegitot]

Don't think Pedri ever can attack like this. He still has plenty of time to change, to improve. But if he can not, then it is impossible to build a team around him.

Yeah you named 4 of the best players of all time so it has been an outstanding pass

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

You can't change his mentality to be as fearless as Iniesta. He plays safe like Xavi wants everyone to. If only he were like Puig, but then he'd have been loaned or sold already.

Nah. Dembele could play whatever he wanted. Xavi had no problem.

It's hard to change Pedri's mentality as it's his 4th season here and nothing really change. I still have hope but big doubt.
