Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has become the latest player to shower praise on team-mate Pedri.
The veteran striker has played with some top stars during his stellar career and says that Pedri simply makes his life much easier.
“Pedri is an extraordinary player. He has enormous potential, is technically fantastic, and the way he moves the ball and sees the game is impressive, especially for a striker,” he told Pilka Nozna.
“Playing with him in behind is simply easier. On the other hand, I’ve
been fortunate to play with many outstanding midfielders, world champions, and top players.
“Each one brought something different to the table. Pedri is unique in his own way and perfectly suits Barcelona’s style.”
Lewandowski also spoke about Lamine Yamal and whether he feels the teenager’s suffered a slump in form this season.
“We may be halfway through the season, but it’s really just beginning for us. And expectations for Lamine are rising. I constantly remind him to take things easy, do his thing, develop, and continue learning,” he added.
“Fluctuations in form are completely natural for such a young player. And with him, even when he’s having a bad day, he still brings a lot of positive energy to the team and makes a difference.”
Yamal has 15 goals and 13 assists so far this season for Barcelona in all competitions and will hope to add to that tally against Villarreal on Saturday.
