Pedrosa, from an alternative to untouchable

With 1,318 minutes played, he started in 15 of the 16 games, Adrià Pedrosa is no longer an alternative to Dídac Vilà on the left side, but an untouchable footballer. It is already the sixth with the most minutes, only surpassed by the backbone of the team, which, little by little, Pedrosa has joined. The left-back, an Under-21 international and who in March will miss two weeks of LaLiga SmartBank if Luis de la Fuente finally quotes him, is living a sweet moment.

“I feel important, I play everything, but I want to help the team achieve the goal,” Gavà's began: “Last year things did not go the way one wanted. Things are going well for me now, I see confidence in the coaches and I want to continue like this”he explained. His quick internships on the left side are compounded by his defensive improvement, which is why they have made Pedrosa again the footballer who dazzled in his debut in the top flight in the 2018-19 academic year.

On his motorcycle, Espanyol continues at a good speed towards the ascent although it left the three points in Montilivi. However, the reading of the squad, also of the young full-back, is positive. “Nobody likes to lose, but the team's attitude and work were good, it was difficult to lose that game. If we play like this we will achieve the goal.. Football is numbers and you always have to win. It is difficult for the three points to escape like this. We want to play against Rayo like in Girona, even improving the details, “he reflected.

Rayo is one of the teams classified for the knockout stages of the Copa del Rey, a tie that will be played this week (they will play Barcelona this Wednesday), so Pedrosa hopes that the team will “take advantage of the fatigue”, that's why ” we will go out for the game “. The side hopes to repeat in his position: “The work of each day serves to show the coach that I can be a starter, but I am not satisfied. Dídac gives everything and I must be prepared in case I don't play. He sure would do well.”

To close his speech, Pedrosa revealed Vicente Moreno's message to the dressing room when the season began. Emphasizing that this competition is long and that the second round will be more complicated: “It will take a long time, but the coach has already warned us. We are united, together and wanting to get every game forward. We have to win, go through every week and keep up.”
