Pedri is an important member of Barca’s squad. He could not play many matches with the team due to injury for a long time However, he returned to the team in the previous match. He is very excited to play against PSG in the next Champions League match. Here is what he said in a press conference –
Pedri: “The team is very eager and excited to face this game. Personally, I come from a bad time, but I’m very excited to be back.”
“I’m lucky that, when I’m on the pitch, I don’t think about injuries. The desire and the excitement to play replace everything else. My pass against PSG was similar to the one I picked up an injury from at San Mamés.”
“My renewal? I’m very calm and happy to be at the team of my dreams. Barça is going to do what they told me.”
“Yes, it’s the most important match I’ve had so far, along with the European Championship semifinals.”
“We have a very complete squad. We are a family. We had many injured and we knew how to move forward.”
“Gündogan is an exceptional player. Since I met him in pre-season, I already saw what kind of player he was. I learn a lot from him in training. In the games he is helping us, he has spectacular numbers.”
“Playing 90 minutes? When you come back from injury, you feel tired sooner, but I’m strong and eager. The more minutes, the better. I prefer to play 80 and do it 100%, when I can’t do it anymore, I’ll ask for the substitution.”
“Cubarsí is a player that I love. I haven’t seen a centre-back like that at the age of 17. He’s a great person and I laugh a lot with him.”
“I have a very good relationship with Gavi and Balde, it hurts me to see them suffer for not being able to play. They really want to play.”
“How to stop Mbappé? Above all, by having the ball. Kylian, Ousmane and Barcola are very good at one-on-one.”
