MADRID, 24 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The FC Barcelona midfielder Pedri assured that the Real Madrid players “would have done the same if they beat their direct rival 4-0” after the celebrations that took place last Sunday at the Santiago Bernabéu on the occasion of the resounding culé victory in the ‘ Classic’ garter belt.
“On the one hand I understand it and on the other I don’t. I think they would have done the same thing. When you beat your direct rival 4-0, you’re going to celebrate like this because you get immense joy when you play a game like that,” said the culé player in statements to the Cadena Cope program ‘El Partidazo’.
Pedri, who is going through a great moment at FC Barcelona, acknowledged that he is “very happy”. “At the moment I can’t complain, things are turning out the best they could have been (…) the Bernabéu match was an unforgettable match, but now we’re in the national team and we’re all a team,” added the Canarian, who did not again dodged the subject of ‘Classic’.
“We look at each other the same and we laugh the same way in here. There is only one Real Madrid player here (Carvajal) and the truth is that we don’t hesitate with that. We are a team and we want to win together”, added Pedri, who will wear number 10 in this announcement. “They gave me a choice between a couple of numbers and it’s a number that I like and important people like Cesc Fábregas have worn, who is a spectacular player, and I have chosen it for that reason. The number that I like the most is 8 because it Andrés Iniesta was wearing it, but Koke is wearing it here and you have to respect seniority”, he pointed out.
Regarding Luis Enrique, he stressed that he prepares training sessions that are “crazy” after having used a 500-inch screen at the foot of the pitch. “Unai Simón told me yesterday that the screen was there and I told him I hadn’t seen anything… And it’s a great thing, because you make a mistake in something and he shows it to you directly on the screen and with that you can improve a lot,” he commented. about their correction systems
“What do you ask of me? In the European Championship, which is when I was with him the most, he asked me to play between the lines, to help behind, that in the pressure you be one of those who runs the most, because we all press and if one does not It shows (…) I always try to be calm, I have not experienced much that people tell me things when I fail, “he added.
“It bothers me a lot to lose and lose the ball on the soccer field,” acknowledged the 19-year-old player, who would like to become a “reference for young people.” Pedri recalled that he has a contract with Barça until June 30, 2026 and a clause of 1,000 million euros.
On the style of the Spanish team, Tegueste is clear. “It must be the touch football that those who played before in the national team did, which is what led us to win titles and is what we should do,” he said.
ABOUT THE TEST WITH REAL MADRID
In other questions, Pedri was asked about the test he did with Real Madrid as a cadet. “I have never met the person who said no to me, I don’t remember who he is. I would tell him that now I am enjoying myself at Barcelona.”
“I went there and the first few days I couldn’t train because there was snow on the fields. I trained three days. One I think they were playing and they took me down with the B to train and in the end they told me that I didn’t have the level to be there and that they were leaving me keep looking. Now I’m where I want to be,” added Pedri.
“At first you don’t like being rejected anywhere, but then it motivates you to think that if they didn’t want you, now you’re going to work so that something else can come in the future,” the Blaugrana player concluded.
