'I have to be Pedri' - Barcelona starlet plays down Iniesta comparisons
Oct 19, 2021
The talented teenager is determined to focus on his own game as he celebrates his first senior international call-up
Barcelona prodigy Pedri is very happy to participate in the Spanish national team game, but downplayed the comparison with the club legend Iniesta.
The 18-year-old Pedri received his maiden call in March to start the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
He has represented Spain at all levels from under 17 to U21, and now he has the opportunity to play a high-level bow in the coming days.

When asked about the connection with his predecessor’s midfielder in Barcelona, he replied: "I must be Pedri." "It's an honor to compare with Andres Iniesta."
He added: "From day one, they have treated me very well. I know Jodi (Alba), Bussi (Sergio Busquets) and U21 teammates make everything easy. I like Luis Enrique (Luis). Enrique's style plays a lot.
"I hope to learn and adapt to contribute as much as possible to the national team."
Ramos to Barcelona?
The teenager was also asked to answer a curious question about Real Madrid and Spanish law enforcer Sergio Ramos, one of Barcelona's main opponents in the past decade.
Ramos' future in Santiago Bernabeu is still uncertain-does that mean he can line up at the Nou Camp?

Pedri replied: "It is difficult for Ramos to enter a rival club." "He is a good player, but I am not the person who signed. I have no reference. I want to sign every outstanding player and person. "
