So, he will play hist best in the Euros again and come back with some kind of injury and an empty tank.

Actually think the Euros will be good for him.

He came back in a bit of a rush during a crucial part of the season and didn't really have time to settle patiently.
Now he'll get a bit of a rest and play a few friendlies with Spain to build up pace.
Playing in Euro won't be bad for his fitness, rather the opposite and a good preparation for next season.

Euro is a great opportunity for him. We will see whether or not he has re moddled himself as a creative playmaker, just what people expect from him. De la fuente is a big fan of him so i think he will have key role. Spain's squad also is good fit for Pedri.

Hansi Flick believes that the current Barça squad has a lot of potential and good use can be made of it. He's planning on using a 4-2-3-1 than can mutate into 4-3-3 sometimes

- He sees Pedri as the creative force of his team and plans to deploy him just behind Lewandowski in order to enhance his last pass and runs into the box.

That would be horrible. Pedri as an attacking midfielder playing behind a slow striker is as useful as a chocolate teapot. Fermin is far better there, that should have been blatantly obvious given Fermin's performances since the turn of the year.

Pedri's 'through balls' could possibly be beneficial, but you need a quick striker to play through balls to. We don't have that. Pedri should be playing deeper or not at all.

Fermin is better at scoring but Pedri has better passing skills, vision... Not sure if this report is true or not but all coaches do rate Pedri as a creative playmaker. Xavi did put him play that role this season though not much result. De La Fuente also wants him to be his 10 with Spain (we will see in Euro)...

Pedri has lots to improve if he wants to be a world class creative force but coaches do rate his talent.
