About adapting to Barcelona

About Harvey

Pedri: "As a Barca player, he represents an honour, and as a player – a midfielder, he means a privilege. From my personal point of view, I don't know Harvey very well, but he shows every day that he knows football very well like some other people. We will all learn by his side, and hopefully this will bring us a lot of joy. ”

About life in Barcelona

Pedri: "I live here very peacefully, and when I don't need to train, my favorite thing is to watch the series at home or play some board games, and I also play table tennis or play with my brother, who I still live with. ”

About Messi's departure

Pedri: "I will always be grateful to Messi for so much help, both on and off the field. It was easy to play with him because he was the best and without him on our side, it cost us. But now I think we're putting together a great team and we need to take a step forward. ”

About Xavi and Iniesta's generation of players

Pedri: "That says a lot because we're talking about the best Barcelona in history. But I believe we are on the right track and we can have a lot of success in the coming years and Barcelona will always need to fight for all the titles. ”

How has football changed now compared to before?

Pedri: "On a physical level, that's changed and now the demand for the game has become bigger. We have to put more effort into this, and from my personal point of view, I am training hard to increase muscle mass. The most important thing is still your mind, which allows you to react and act faster than your opponents. ”

About the atmosphere in the current Barça dressing room

Pedri: "The atmosphere in the dressing room is very good, whether it's young players or experienced veterans, everyone is very harmonious. I would say my best friends are Eric Garcia, Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati. ”

About their recent situation

Pedri: "The last few months have helped me become more mature, I see where I have to work hard, I have to improve, and I realize that everything is going very fast. I feel honored and it's clear that I don't regret everything that happened to me and I'm not going to change anything. ”
