The Canarian is experiencing what may be the best moment of his career and has established himself as one of the leaders of a team that dreams of a treble, a circumstance that places him among the favorites for the Ballon d&#8217;Or.<\/p>  <p>Regarding this, the midfielder spoke in an interview with &#8216;TV3&#8217;, where he confessed that the award for the best player in the world &#8220;is something that feels very far away for me. Except for some exceptions like Rodri, it is usually won by players who have good statistics as goal scorers. I would prefer it to be won by <strong>Lamine Yamal<\/strong> or <strong>Raphinha<\/strong>, who have good numbers and make a difference. <strong>I am happy if we win titles<\/strong>&#8220;.<\/p>  <blockquote> <p>&#8220;I would prefer it to be won by <strong>Lamine Yamal<\/strong> or <strong>Raphinha<\/strong>, who have good numbers and make a difference&#8221;<\/p> <\/blockquote>  <p>The player from Tegueste also demonstrated his humility when referring to the comparisons with legends like Xavi and Iniesta. &#8220;It is very nice to be compared to <strong>Xavi<\/strong> and <strong>Iniesta<\/strong>, who were the ones I admired when I was little, along with <strong>Sergio Busquets<\/strong>. But they are players who marked an era, who won many titles and <strong>I still have a long way to go to be something like they were<\/strong>&#8220;, he confessed.<\/p>  <p>&#8220;It is very nice to be recognized for doing well, but <strong>I try to focus on improving. I am only 22 years old and I have room for improvement<\/strong>. In fact, the coach also tells me this in training. What could I improve? Many things&#8230; You can always lose fewer balls, you can always improve the number of goals, choose better when to speed up or calm the game&#8230; everything can be improved,&#8221; he added.<\/p>  <h2>The Change of Bar\u00e7a with Hansi Flick<\/h2>  <p><strong>Pedri<\/strong> also spoke about the change in narrative regarding his level and physical condition, assuring that &#8220;I have lived through all situations. At first, there were all praises, then came the criticisms, and now the praises have returned. I have already experienced both sides of the coin. <strong>They said I was made of glass, that I got injured a lot<\/strong>&#8230;&#8221;.<\/p>  <blockquote> <p>&#8220;When you are criticized so much, you want to give more of yourself and silence those mouths that talk about you like that&#8221;<\/p> <\/blockquote>  <p>&#8220;When you are criticized so much, you want to give more of yourself and silence those mouths that talk about you like that. And <strong>beyond silencing mouths, you want to enjoy, which is what I am doing and what I hadn&#8217;t done for a long time<\/strong>&#8220;, he added.<\/p>  <p>Finally, he attributed the brutal present of Bar\u00e7a to Hansi Flick. &#8220;<strong>He has all the responsibility for what is happening<\/strong>. He has imposed a different way of playing than we had last year, especially regarding the defensive line and the pressure we apply up front. He has imposed his way of competing and has managed to convey it to the team,&#8221; he concluded.<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an interview with &#8216;TV3&#8217;, Pedri Gonz\u00e1lez talked about his chances of winning the Ballon d&#8217;Or and the comparisons with legends like Xavi and Iniesta Last Sunday in the match between FC Barcelona and Girona, the fans present at Montju\u00efc rose from their seats to chant the name of Pedri Gonz\u00e1lez after a recovery as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":358,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_nextfly_llmd_date_locked":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[111],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fc-barcelona"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A Real Dream?
