Barcelona\u00a0midfielder Pedri appeared for the press conference at La Roha\u2019s first training session in the morning, in his debut with the Spanish national team this international break, and was asked about a variety of topics.<\/p>\n
One of them, remarkably, was the future of Los Blancos defender Sergio Ramos and the possibility of his trading Real Madrid\u00a0for Barcelona.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very difficult for Ramos to go to a rival club,\u201d Pedri responded in comments carried by Diario Sport<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s a good player, but I\u2019m not the one who signs. I have no reference, I\u2019d like to sign everyone who are excellent players and people.\u201d<\/p>\n He was also asked whether he\u2019s the next Andres Iniesta, to which he humbly replied:<\/p>\n \u201cI have to be Pedri. But it\u2019s an honour to be compared to Andres Iniesta.\u201d<\/p>\n The teenager from the Canary Islands was apparently pleased as punch to be where he was.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom the first day they\u2019ve treated me very well,\u201d he said. \u201cKnowing Jordi [Alba], Busi [Sergio Busquets] and the U21 teammates makes everything easier. I like Luis Enrique\u2019s style of play a lot. I hope to learn and adapt well to contribute as much as possible to the national team.\u201d<\/p>\n Pedri has rapidly grown to be the darling of the Spanish and Catalan media, for both the quality of his performances for Barcelona and also for the personality he displays on and off the pitch. Only 18, things have indeed escalated very rapidly in Pedri\u2019s life since he joined Barcelona from Las Palmas. Quiet in demeanor like Messi, unsurprisingly his idol, he\u2019s diligent and totally focused on improving his skills as a footballer.<\/p>\n Spain are set to face Greece, Georgia and Kosovo in a triple-header of World Cup qualifiers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
