Everyone with sense said Pedri was over played and rightly so, not that FC Barcelona or koeman did, but everyone involved, FC Barcelona, Spain, Luis, koeman.

He played a full la Liga season, euros, then the Olympics, every single person in the actual game of football all Said what is obvious for anyone with a brain, he was over played & it could be seen towards the end of last season & the behind of this.

But yea let's let the nobody from nowhere, who talks nothing but nonsense 95% of the time to what end only he knows, Try to equate gavi playing 3000 minutes in a season then about to get the summer of.

With what everyone was saying about Pedri Being over played for club & country, and the negative injury impacts it clearly had.

My dude said he should play more that will ensure he doesn't get injured, resting him is what caused the injury.

Yep that's why players in all professional sports getting rested because the science clearly shows, the more rest you get, the more likely you are to injured your.

Nuff said really.

Pedri played a lot for his age but Gavi has played a lot at younger age.

The point is the minutes Barca played Pedri.. and when had little alternative as opposed to now.

Gavi will get injured if minutes played is the reason.

Pedri got injured once he stopped and had a broken up pre season and probably didnt get sufficient rest then and when players are rushed back it can cause issues. Some folk dont have clue what are speaking about and dont realise how precise it needs to be when players wind down to then getting up to full flow again. Usual.

Nuff said.

Hypocrotical on Gavi. Simple as that.

Pedri sure as fuck wasnt looking 'tired' for Spain during Euros. Usual shite from folk that think they know best. He was probably the best mid there and one of if not the fittest.

What were Barca supposed to do? Bench one of their best players when going for the league title in fear Spain would take him to the Olympics in a couple months time? Utter garbage.

Suddenly there is no issue with Gavi at 17 playing 3000+ minutes for... reasons.

Gavi will get injured because he is a lightweight playing like a 120kg bull.

Chance of injury is at least much bigger

False.

Often the smaller stockier players have higher chance of muscle injuries not just because he gets wired in.

Example being Jack Wilshere who Gavi has similar squat build and Arsenal knew would be high potential of injuries in future.

Again more reason to rest him... but not a peep from anyone about his minutes at younger age than Pedri.

Guess what happened when Barca rested Pedri towards end of last season when favs for title? They lost to Granada and it blew the league and Barca momentum.

Pedri then went on to be the best mid at Euros and as fit as anyone there.

The minutes he played at Barca is massively overplayed and how much players train is also a time coaches can give them rest. Which is ignored.

Where Barca made the mistake is once he stopped playing and how quickly he came back not minutes last season.

Pedri did well, but rested Pedri would have done even better. I think that was the biggest complaint from people and potentially causing an injury without enough rest.

Go look last year's threads, I am sure you will find a point where Pedris level started dropping.

Gavi will definitely have more injuries than average player if he keeps jumping to challenges head first. Literally head first. The guy is simply nuts. A bit too nuts for his own good.

The Barto era is always defined by the expensive flops we bought IE Dembele, Coutinho and Griezmann. However people forget the others trash transfers that cost us both in transfer fees and wages

Gomes
Turan
Mina
Douglas
Alcacer
Digne
Arthur
Braithwaite
Pjanic
Semedo
Etc

None of those are Barca starter qualit

Most of them were not bought to be starters.

And many were also sold if not for a profit at least not for a big loss.

Most of them squad players who did their jobs and sold for profit or breaking even.

And where did this get us? Team just got worse and worse every season, no competition, nothing. Dembele, Griezmann and Coutinho ruined us financially but for the squad this never ending stream of mediocre signings was just as hurtful.

We just kept buying and selling players but never established a new core, and once the veterans were finally squeezed dry we were left with nothing but kids, bums and old amigos.

The 25-29 year bracket should be filled in with some of the names above, but they all failed. Look at the team, we have Dembele who will leave and Frenkie who might also get sold, Depay who just joined last summer, Adama who joined in winter and is gone as well, crippled Umtiti, and finally Lenglet who's shit and supposedly about to get kicked out too.
