Before the start of the new season in the Spanish League, and in light of Barcelona’s efforts to strengthen the team’s ranks with new elements to compete for all championships

If nothing goes wrong in the upcoming matches with Spain and the Olympic team, Pedri will have participated in 70 matches during the season in all competitions.

 

And the newspaper “Sport” reported that there is anger and anxiety in Barcelona due to Badri’s discomfort.

 

In recent days, Barcelona tried with the Spanish Federation to reconsider Pedri’s invitation to participate in the Tokyo Olympics this summer, but the response came that it was impossible to dispense with the midfielder, especially as the Spanish team seeks to win the gold medal.

 

Pedri, 18, has participated in more than 60 matches so far, and is preparing for Friday night’s match against Switzerland in the Euro 2020 quarter-finals.

 

Concern in Barcelona about the physical burden on the player, in addition to the mental exhaustion from playing many tournaments.

 

Pedri’s first match with the Spanish national team will be in the Olympics on July 22 against Egypt, and after the tournament ends, the player will have two weeks of rest before joining the Blaugrana training in preparation for the new season.
