Barcelona himself down with a 3-4-2-1 formation. Duet Lionel Messi and Pedri behind the striker, so dangerous in the game. The last name in particular, deserves two thumbs up!
Reporting from Brand, Pedri, who is an 18 year old young player, does not look awkward in a duet with the star Messi. The two of them work together to mess up the opponent’s defense with 1-2 short passes.
In the 20th minute for example, Lionel Mesi pass to Pedri and then run to the front of the penalty box. Pedri controlled the ball a little and returned to Messi, who after a moment Messi fired a measured shot but unfortunately the goalkeeper thwarted.
Goal Lionel Messi in the 65th minute, there was an assist from Pedri. De Jong made a short pass to the running Pedri.
Pedri with a heel pass directs the ball to Messi who is sprinting behind him. Messi had the ball well under his control, stabbed into the penalty box, was not overtaken by the defenders, and the ball was shot easily.
Messi also seemed excited by Pedri’s action. It seems, Pedri could be his deadly duet this season!
Pedri indeed won the trust of Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman. He has played 14 times in Laliga, starting eight times.
Pedri often changed his position. Sometimes a duet with Philippe Coutinho in the middle or plotted as an attacking midfielder behind the striker.
Pedri’s duet with Messi in midfield seems to be Barcelona’s new weapon.
