"Barcelona” club midfielder Pedri stated that midfielders are increasingly valued these days and mentioned the "Ballon d’Or” award won by Rodri, praising head coach Hansi Flick:

"Since Rodri won the award, it has become clear that a player who controls the midfield and dictates the pace of the game can win the ‘Ballon d’Or’ prize.

I have always had this dream of winning such an award, but at the moment, my focus is on winning titles with Barça.”
"H. Flick is like a father to us. He constantly tries to take care of us.

The German always helps the players, even if they are not playing, and constantly tries to assist everyone. He may seem strict from the outside, but he always defends us when we face tougher moments.”

22-year-old Pedri has scored 6 goals and provided 7 assists in 52 matches this season.
