Pedri is honest with Ibai about his injury drama: "I do pilates, people think it’s a woman’s thing, but it’s not like that"

The season is not being easy for Pedri, who once again falls prey to muscle injuries that hinder his continuity and prevent him from helping a Barça in need more than ever. The first, in August, kept her in dry dock for three months, and just a few weeks ago she relapsed to continue being absent from the team led by Xavi Hernández.

Therefore, to disconnect, the Canarian footballer has dropped by the Ibai Llanos Twitch channel, where he has done an in-depth review of the current situation of the culés and his own state of physical and mental health in addition to getting immersed in a multitude of different topics and to leave some ‘messages’ to journalists who cover Barça and who, according to him, have not been completely faithful to the truth in relation to his injuries.

This is the case, for example, of Gerard Romero, whom Pedri wanted to deny due to information published about him by one of Ibai’s close friends and member as president of the Kings League. All of this, moreover, as a result of a fairly simple question from the Basque streamer: “Has anything that has been said in the press these weeks about your injury bothered you?”

“Yes. Many things. Especially about your friend, Gerard Romero,” Pedri began commenting in his response. “It didn’t bother me but he said something that wasn’t the case. He said that I was afraid of playing, of hitting with my right foot, and those are things that are a lie. I have never told Xavi that I am afraid of hitting him with my right foot. I “When I enter the field, I go with everything, I forget about the injuries I have had,” he added, denying Romero.

Once that issue was clarified, Pedri delved into his drama with the injuries, clarifying that he still has no date to return although other sources suggest that he will travel with Barça to Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup: “These are not the best moments. It has been “a complicated year, but good. I come from being in Tenerife, with the family. For me they are the best moments, when you are at home with the family. If I retired now, I would go to live in Tenerife, but Barcelona has everything.” .

“My first season was very long. I played 73 games. It may have affected me, but I wanted to take on the world. Everyone says that when you have the first injury it can be reproduced, but I am working physically and mentally so that it does not happen again. “I have changed my diet and I have gone to Pilates. Puyol recommended it to me. People believe that it is a woman’s thing, but it is not like that. It is something that is going very well,” the footballer born in Tegueste continued in detail.

A statement that may spark some controversy, but that does not cloud the rest of the interview, in which he dismantled some myths about the Madrid-Barça rivalry and, above all, talked a lot about football: “I really like Aleix García. And I The level at which Bellingham is has surprised. It is in a moment where everything it touches goes inwards. There are moments in the season when whatever you do you know that you are going to score for sure. There are players who are with the arrow up.”

“Anyone who says that Cristiano is bad is stupid,” he added in reference to the eternal rival and the everlasting criticism of the Portuguese forward, although he made his preferences clear in the debate about the best in history: “Messi is the best, for “I was lucky enough to meet him and as soon as I saw him train, I asked myself ‘what am I doing here with this guy?’. It’s crazy.”

“The first day, I will always remember, I entered the locker room and saw him and I was shocked. It’s not that I was going to ask him for a photo, it’s that I was going to train with him, to share a locker room. I was amazed. Imagine how which was for a boy from Las Palmas, at 17 years old, to see Messi there… he was also the first one I saw,” Pedri said, recalling his first steps in the Blaugrana discipline, back in 2019.

To finish, the Canarian served as sports director and highlighted the names he would like to see at Can Barça in the future: “For me Haaland is a cyborg. He scores a lot of goals, and he is much younger. Lewandowski is not going to last until he is sixty. years, unfortunately. Julián Álvarez, the ‘Spider’, is also very good and is playing very well, I like him a lot.
