According to Mundo Deportivo this Saturday on its back cover, signed by Lluís Canut, at Barça there is “indignation” with the U21 and Olympic coach, Luis de la Fuente, for not even calling the Barça club to make a query about Pedri and Eric Garcia before officially summoning them for the Olympics. At Barça it is clear that De la Fuente also did not call the other LaLiga clubs involved (Villareal, Real Sociedad, Athletic …).
Eric Garcia has had a discreet season in terms of minutes and, therefore, will arrive at the Olympic event rested. Pedri's thing is different. The canary is already close to 4,500 minutes in the course of landing in the elite, with a leading role in Barça and in the National Team. The wish of the canary, for now, is to go to the Olympic Games. He was recently photographed with the rest of the Absoluta colleagues who will do it: Unai Simón, Oyarzabal, Dani Olmo, Pau Torres and Eric himself.
As AS learned, the affected clubs considered writing a joint letter to the FEF to express some annoyance with the double call of the players, but finally the idea did not go ahead. Always according to Mundo Deportivo, what has not happened is the outrage of the clubs with Luis de la Fuente. At Barça they consider that the club did have a gesture with the National Team with the early holidays that Koeman gave the player before the end of the season so that he could clean his legs with a view to the European Championship, in which Pedri is once again standing out .
