Iniesta: Pedri doesn’t need to be me, he can create something unprecedented

In a recent interview, Barcelona legend Iniesta talked about the team's current midfielder Pedri. Iniesta admires this junior very much.

He said: "I admire Pedri very much, he is an extraordinary player. The reason why I like him is because he has the experience of overcoming difficulties and adversity. The most important thing is that he has his own unique story.

" (Pedri regards Iniesta as his idol) This is a beautiful thing and makes me very proud. He's seen me play and sees me as a role model, and who doesn't like to hear that?

"When I was a child, there were many idols who inspired me, such as Guardiola and Laudrup. I believe everyone knows this. But I never thought of imitating them. I just observed their movements, behavior and behavior, and then developed my own unique personality."

When talking about what he wanted to say to Pedri, Iniesta said: "The first thing is to avoid any kind of comparison. Pedri does not need to be me, he just needs to be himself, and being yourself is the most precious thing for anyone.

"And that's what he is, Pedri is Pedri. He was able to create unprecedented tactical coordination and invent passes that no one had ever seen before. Pedri can do things that other players can't because he can provide solutions when the team needs it most. Because he is selfless and generous, always thinking of others first.

"My only wish for Pedri is that he can continue to improve, because I believe the best is yet to come. He enjoys football and lets us enjoy it. He is full of enthusiasm and has great potential, and Barcelona is the most suitable club for him to show his talent."
