Calendar of FC Barcelona

The season 20/21 for the FC Barcelona has been quite convulsa. It began from the fateful 8-2 that marked the start of the end of a glorious stage to give step to the renewal of the staff, maybe the most complicated by the world-wide economic situation and the one who particularly has the club. The Riqui Puig, Aleñá, Sergi Roberto and Pedri begin to give important steps inside and out of the city condal.

Pedro González López, fondly Pedri. The boy of hardly 18 years arrived with big expectations after his go through Second Division with the uniform of The Palms, playing like titling a total of 34 parties and average of 79 minutes by game, according to the statistics of Sofascore. Four goals and six assistances rounded his big season.

His performances in the world-wide sub17 in 2019 and the 19/20 confirmed the hit outlay of 8 million euros and a year of cession. Owner of the midfield and the left zone of the field, playing as it stick, inner, and until of half tip, favourite position and the one who more repeated. All was valid so that now, was like the jewel of the crown in the cofre of diamonds of Ronald Koeman.

But the Dutch technician "did not know a lot" of him, in spite of the good reports and of the quality that treasures in each played, clear, learnt while it saw "each video of the Barcelona, especially the ones of Iniesta", the manchego that went like hero of the Camp Nou and will remain like idol for this young talent of Tegueste.

Like this it affirmed it the own Pedri, when speaking in press conference on how was his first talk with his technical director, that also is alive legend of the Barcelona after forming part of the conquest of the first European glass of the history of the club. From the first moment in which it gave him entrance to the field, did him slope up not to give him a fixed place.

The same staff that has Pjanic, Coutinho, Dembelé, Busquets, Of Jong, Griezmann and Leo Messi in the zones of creation and attack, has now a place reserved for a boy that hardly fulfilled the majority of age and already has 14 titularities in the 20 commitments of LaLiga that has contested the Barcelona. Two goals and the same number of assistances to help to his team, the one of his dreams, to be the escort of the Athletic of Madrid, with the same 40 points that the Real Madrid but with better average of goal.

To imagine the Camp Nou to be the best partner of Messi

The dream to play beside Iniesta did not give , more by age that by merits because of only imagine a combination between Andrés and Pedri the football takes an incredible colour. But it is Messi, that with his more and his less started the campaign wrapped in a long face, playing in team but with the head in solitary, isolated of big part of the dynamics. To the first effective combination changed him the semblante.

Each wall, diagonal, pass to the foot, this vision to the space that extrañaba in the Camp Nou, each thing in the nostalgia that now Messi goes back to enjoy in Pedri, gave him back the smile, a shy, but smile finally. Another wall, another diagonal and now a played individual to go out of his mark and deliver in clean. Afterwards the goal, the assistance. In this perla there is a project of player that hardly is in phase of proof, a project that starts of to little and goes carburando, contenting to Messi each day more, giving a new face to the fan culé.

It aims for crack and in the Barcelona know it, only was missing Koeman by enterarse and go that it has done it, because in addition to 14 games in LaLiga also gave him put to title in Champions in four games, complete five with the suplencia in the visit to the Ferencváros, club in front of which debuted with goal in a phase of groups that left good brushstrokes in front of a team like the Juventus, so much in the gone as in the turn.

Ronald Koeman already knows to Pedri González, already called him aside to communicate it and in public does it title. It dreamed with the tunnel of the Camp Nou and today is to title in the team that admired from small, giving game, spaces and smiles to the biggest player in the history of the club. Pedri González, the revancha of what could have been Thiago, the successor of Iniesta.
