First Expressions When Seeing Messi, Pedri: I Thought It Was a Lie

DBasia.news – Barcelona young player Pedri Gonzalez can be called one of Barcelona’s best buys this season. He is young, talented, and can handle Lionel Messi’s games on the field.

Pedri got more opportunities during the Ronald Koeman era. This season, he has appeared in 41 matches with a record of three goals plus six assists.

One thing that is a valuable opportunity for Pedri is playing with Lionel Messi. According to Pedri, it is very easy to become La Pulga’s partner.

“On the first day I saw Lionel Messi, I thought it was a lie. When I was beside him, I was very surprised to see Messi,” said Pedri as reported by Goal.

“It was like being on television or playing in a video game. I couldn’t believe it,” he added.

“Playing with Messi is very easy. The reason is, when you give the ball to him you know what will happen.”

“That’s what I’m trying to do. I try to give the ball in the best and most profitable position for the team,” said Pedri.

Hope to Not Part

Pedri hopes to continue to take knowledge from Lionel Messi. The young player wants Messi to stay at Barcelona and sign a new contract.

“I hope to play with Messi for the next few years. It would be great if I continue to have the opportunity to play with Messi and learn many things,” Pedri said.

So far, Lionel Messi hasn’t taken any stance. Barcelona is confident that they can maintain Messi with a good relationship with Joan Laporta.
