The former Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos was not stingy with compliments about Pedri, the FC player. Barcelona. On the contrary.
It is undoubtedly the player of FC Barcelona that the supporters now rent the most. A midfielder from the capable midfielder, by his technical vista and his glance, to direct the game of Barça with each meeting. The only one, no doubt, likely to receive, when he leaves the field, a standing-ovation of the Barcelona Olympic stadium.

And when a former Real Madrid player, Toni Kroos in this case, lingers on an element of the Rival club, it is of course Pedri. Be careful, praise of all kinds.
“In my eyes, a player like Pedri is almost more important than Lamine, Raphinha or Lewandowski. They are the ones who decide on the outcome of the matches, but to get there, Pedri is currently the best player in this position in my eyes. He beat 11 to 12 defenders per match, which is the most difficult thing for a midfielder. It’s the best. And if a player like him is missing, you will notice! Pedri is one of the rare fields in this position which has the gift of being able to surpass someone with a dribbling in restricted spaces. A player like Pedri helps you in all the phases of the game. One or twice, I thought I could reach him, because Pedri does not seem very fast, but he dribbles everywhere, and I couldn’t even stop him on a fault. It is not like with Messi, where we see its speed of movement. Pedri does not seem so fast, but it is, really. And it’s fast thanks to its ease! »»
