Pedri González spoke out on the ‘A Diario’ programme on Radio Marcawhere he explained how he has experienced recent times in which he has been questioned too much. The Tenerife native spoke clearly to end the controversy.
Pedri admitted that he has spent “difficult times because injuries are the worst thing for a footballer, but now I enjoy football”. The Tenerife native can understand that there is “Criticism when you are not at your level and you get injured“, but at the same time regretted that certain external comments”They hurt and you don’t have a good time, although I was sadder about the body than about what was said.“.
The sincerity of ‘Gundo’
The midfielder denounced that “things that are not true, things that are made upalthough you cannot go out and deny everything that is said.” His priority is “Talk on the field and shut up the mouths that criticize you outside”.
A negative example was the controversy unleashed after the Montjuïc classic due to statements by Gündogan asking his teammates to accept defeat with greater anger. Pedri also saw in this case that “From the outside everything is magnified and they want to sow discord to try to destroy you in any way. The dressing room has a good relationship. ‘Gundo’ is sincere, he doesn’t keep things to himself and it’s better to sort them out.” Pedri agrees with his teammate that “When you lose you can’t have laughs and parties, personally I’m screwed”.
During all this time, De la Fuente has been a great support and explained that “he has called me when I have had mishaps and has always given me his trust.”
Good vibes with Dani Olmo
He also wanted to categorically deny a bad relationship with Dani Olmo, the player with whom he is competing for the starting position with Spain: “Things come out that we don’t get along with, when we spend the day together, We play ping-pong, everything, and Dani has immense quality.”
Looking ahead to the match against Germany, Pedri is clear that “Whoever manages the midfield has a lot to gain, they are very forceful there, with people who come in between and associatewe also have a lot of quality.” The Tegueste native will have Ter Stegen, Neuer’s substitute, and Gündogan on the opposing team. He commented on them that with “I made a video call to Ter Stegen to see how he was” and that before the match he will greet his Barça teammates from the German national team.”
Going back to the past, Pedri stressed: “I do not regret having gone to the Tokyo Games. “These are decisions you make. I took home a medal that I am proud to carry with me. It was an unforgettable season in the elite.”
The double of 2021
The footballer reflected on the double of Eurocup and Games in 2021 and believes that “The easiest thing to say is that the injuries were due to the double, other players also had injuries, It is normal to say this, but it is difficult to say ‘no’ to the national team”
Regarding the images in which he joked about the number ’10’ that Lamine or Nico Williams could wear at Barça, Pedri clarified that “It was a misunderstanding, we were talking about a FIFA game”. And regarding a hypothetical renewal with Barça, he said that “we will talk about it when the Euro Cup is over.”
Thankful to Xavi and Koeman
Of his coaches at Barça, Pedri did not like how Xavi Hernandez was sacked: “He did not deserve to leave like that, as a player there is nothing to say, As a coach he was a good person. I wish him all the best.”
He also spoke about Ronald Koeman, who gave him his debut and “gave me everything, a lot of confidence and helped me when I was a child at Barça”“I am very grateful to him because thanks to him I am here.”
