Pepper Mel, UD Las Palmas coach and architect of the football explosion of Pedri gonzalez When he made his debut in the Second Division at the age of 16 in the 2019-20 season, he worked with new talents at the Gran Canaria club and did not hesitate to ‘remember’ Barça, half jokingly, half seriously, that one of them, Alberto Moleiro, could be a good companion to Pedri at the Camp Nou. During an interview on the Teledeporte program Tdp CLUB 2ª, he gave his name.

Is about Alberto Moleiro, offensive midfielder of 18 years just turned (September 30) born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Spanish international Under-19. Asked Pepper Mel in the aforementioned program because of the resemblance of Moleiro with him also from Tenerife PedriIn his case of Tegueste, the coach answered that “their maturation processes are different and they are different footballers. Pedri makes his teammates better because he is always well placed to give continuity to the game and Moleiro it is capable of positioning itself with a control already in the danger zone. The two could be complementary in the same team. I say it in case the club that already has Pedri…”. Moleiro has a contract until 2023.

And he did not want to highlight him too much for fear of running out of him: “We are in Catalonia. Let’s see if Barça can buy it from here to the hotel … From the first day I saw him training, I realized he had something different. It was a child, but in this time he has grown a lot physically. “
