The 17-year-old canary explained that his “first goal is to debut“.” I haven't done it yet and I'm looking forward to it. I have to improve and work to achieve it. Also, whatever the debut, I will always remember it. “It will be the most special day of my life, because I have always dreamed of it, “he acknowledged.

After his arrival from UD Las Palmas, Pedri stressed that “playing such a tough category in the Second Division” has helped him “gain confidence” before his arrival at Barcelona, ​​where he has been training for several weeks. “They have welcomed me very well and I am very happy. I am very happy to have this opportunity. The Sports City is a luxury. I hope to enjoy these facilities for many years to come. I have been impressed. From the first moment that I have met my colleagues I have felt very good. With Trincao, for example, we have understood each other very well, as with Matheus. I really want to enjoy all my teammates and learn from them, “he said.
