    I'm an EPL fan and I hadn't watched pedri before Euros (had just heard his name). But I watched all of the Spain's matches and I can instantly say his level above anything that greenwood,saka and Foden do currently. And his just 18. What a player 🔥. Even Luis Enrique said that Iniesta wasn't this good at 18 which is true

      None of those players you compared him to play in his position so how do you conclude he's above anything they do.
      Of course a manager will speak highly of his player so it's not surprising that Enrique compliments him

  • @grinchoi1
    @grinchoi1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The midfield for Barca looks amazing. However the entire backline looks shaky. Up front although a lamp post would contribute as much as Martin Braithwaite, Aguero didn't look sharp in the Copa America. He's also on the wrong side of his 30's. Messi is 34, he's still the best player but he's not going to run around the pitch as much so Barca should have someone with that youthful exuberance to provide that balance. Depay hasn't proved his merit at the elite clubs. Ansu Fati looked amazing before his injury. It was very serious. Who knows how this will effect his performance IF and when he returns. Usually the younger players recovery faster. It's proved the opposite with him. I hope he's back and can fulfill his dreams in a Barca shirt.
