two young men football players packed with talent They can be the ones that unbalance a game designed for veterans: Pedri and Joao Felix. the first is the last golden-boy, an award that recognizes the most talented young man in Europe. The second was in 2019. Today they face each other on the grass, with the aspirations of their teams clinging to their boots.
Pedri
If anything defines Pedri is he camouflage. There are players who pass unnoticed even when they are usual of the lineups. These are the essential pieces. for a team to work, that they accumulate match after match, never going down from the remarkable and that they seem, despite their youth, that they are there as if for punishment. The curious thing about the case is that the same thing happens when they are not there. For example: Peter.
Pedri played it all and more the Past course and injuries took their toll on him at the start of this season. Without him, Barça was adrift, but curiously they were very few who claimed him as a solution to the ills of the team. To which he was able to return, the fans realized what was They had lost during months. Pedri, since his return, is Barça’s best player in every game.
Xavi spares no praise towards the midfielder Canary: “It’s a luxury to be able to train a player like this. It is impressive what he does with his age, how he looks, how he shapes himself, how he decides. Sometimes I make fun of him and ask him where he came from. It seems that he has been here all his life”, said the coach in the last game
Pedro’s return who returns to the team after being named Golden Boy, best young player and nominated for Laureus Award, is not just another piece of news at Barça, although sometimes it has not been given the importance it has. The canary is differential
joao felix
To the summer 2019 that began for João Félix with his signing for Atlético (July 3) was followed by an autumn in which the Portuguese picked up the trophy that recognized him as the most promising youngster in Europe, the Golden Boy (on November 27 it was known that he won it, on December 16 he picked it up). Three years later, his talent is unquestionable. But also its irregularity. Three years later, João is almost at Atleti at the same point. All to prove. Because three years later he has not finished teaching it at Atleti. Sparks, yes, many. But just that. It is not routine, it is not always. He has not just hit the table that he was supposed to when the rojiblanco club paid 127 million for him, when he was recognized with the Golden Boy.
Simeone acknowledged yesterday that he will play and that everything is expected of him. “He is going to play and it is an ideal moment for words to become deeds,” asserted the rojiblanco coach. The Portuguese is his 14th outfield player in minutes this season, with 1,075, just behind Savic, who has missed nine games. Few minutes. The foot problem that hampered last season was operated on in July. A muscle injury in November and the coronavirus in December have slowed him down this season. But it goes to more, in the last parties. More presence, minutes, ownership. In the match against Barcelona in the first round he was the best. He knocked out Barça then Koeman with brilliant football and Lemar as a partner. With the version of João Félix most similar to the one who won the Golden Boy. The one that Simeone expects this afternoon, at the Camp Nou. João as the best João.
