Spanish national team coach Luis de la Fuente has shared his perspective that Barcelona’s star player, Pedri, demonstrates a superior level of performance for his country compared to his club. This observation comes amidst ongoing discussions regarding the 23-year-old’s role within the La Roja squad.
As anticipated, Pedri has continued to be a pivotal figure for Spain at the current World Cup, starting in all three of their group stage matches. However, his exact position on the field has remained a topic of debate, with discussions centering on whether he should play in a deeper or more advanced midfield role for Barcelona.
During a media interaction on Monday, Luis de la Fuente was questioned about Pedri’s form on the international stage in contrast to his club performances. The Spanish head coach conveyed his opinion to RTVE, stating, “For me, Pedri is better for Spain than he is for Barcelona! With us, he’s exceptional.”
