Pedri gives a detailed description of croquettes. Injury talk is OK. He picks on his brother all the time. Simply inquire as to how much it hurts him to be excluded from the Kings League. The bond shared by the Golden Boys is legendary. He namesdrops Gavi, Eric Garcia (who will undoubtedly accuse us of manipulating his art in Photoshop), Xavi Hernández, and Luis Enrique. Pedri exudes the confident serenity of a person who has discovered a place they can call home. And there it is on the cover of the latest issue of Men’s Health.
When I’m sixty years old, maybe I’ll become tired of being called Pedri and want to be renamed Pedro. He told Men’s Health exclusively, “Even my mom and brother call me that.” He is a part of the Spanish national squad for FC Barcelona. Like him, the new Pedri x Springfield range features garb that keeps things simple. I don’t spend a lot of time in front of the mirror.
Although he does not enjoy losing “like all athletes,” his main interests outside of soccer are playing Play and finding a good rival so that he and his brother can have a teqball match; however, he has no plans to participate in the IV Veil of Ibai Llanos because he “would be very ashamed to stick in front of so many people,” he says jokingly.
Maybe we’ll get to see it someday when he’s playing for the Trunks of Perxitaa in the Kings League: “If I were not in Barça or had a contract, I would play it delightedly.”
Pedri is a well-known, humble local, much like Carlos Alcaraz, another superb young athlete who has graced the cover of Men’s Health Spain. We’ve talked over the phone a few times, and I can’t wait to see him in person. Carlitos, the athlete, has a lot of fans in me.
In the same vein as Carlitos, he also possesses a list of references. It’s flattering to be compared to Andrés Iniesta, but I can only take credit for what I accomplish on my own. My only choice is Pedri. The midfielder has been trained by FC Barcelona’s veterans, which is why he is so proficient. Thanks to Xavi Hernández, I now routinely do something I had previously neglected: checking out the source before accepting anything. AND Luis Enrique, especially if you want to win and have effective communication skills.
I took Gavi by vehicle every day, but now he has taken out his card and I don’t see him that much. There’s no way he’d ever be on the cover of Men’s Health magazine.
The October issue of Men’s Health Spain, including the cover story “Pedri,” is now on sale at newsstands and magazine stands. Check out the whole interview, his greatest photos, and how he has increased muscle to become a more complete player to learn more about his path to being the best footballer of his time.
