Pedri is ready to play to go to the Olimpic Games
Pedri has had an incredible season, becoming a starter for Barcelona and Luis Enrique’s Spain side. He also plans to go to the Olympic Games after Euro 2020, something which not all at Barcelona are happy about. He will have to play even more minutes in Japan after a long club season, and after a deep run at Euro 2020, Pedri is not worried and promised that he would be ready to go for next season. “Luis de la Fuente spoke to me before announcing the list for the Olympic Games,” the player revealed. “I love to play football and will be happy to keep playing. I understand Barcelona’s point of view because I have played a lot. But I want to tell Barcelona that I will arrive well-rested.”
Going on to discuss his position in the Barcelona team, he said he is happy with how things are going at Camp Nou and that he hoped for a renewal of Lionel Messi. “I feel valued and appreciated at Barca, and I hope to be with the club for a long time,” Pedri said. “I hope Messi renews his contract, and I would like him to be a teammate for another season. So, I hope he will stay, but it is his decision”. Finally, he also reflected on how Euro 2020 is going for the Spanish national team. “Spain have a great team, and we never had any doubts,” he stated.
“From the very beginning, we had no doubts about our potential. If I had not been removed against Switzerland, I would have raised my hand to take the penalty. I wouldn’t mind anything. I would take what no one else wanted. I revived a call from Ronald Koeman to congratulate me on reaching the quarterfinals and then semi-finals.”
