Adriá Pedrosa, Sevilla's left back, did not hesitate to highlight the great news that Lamine Yamal is experiencing, who has become one of the main offensive references of FC Barcelona

The left-back of Sevilla FC, Adriá Pedrosa, appeared before the media in the pre-match press conference to talk about the upcoming match on Sunday, October 20, where the Seville team will face FC Barcelona in a game corresponding to Matchday 10 of LaLiga EA Sports. In this clash, the Seville team will seek to confront the Catalan side as visitors, a team that, except for the defeat against CA Osasuna on Matchday 8, has been performing well in the local tournament.

The Barcelona left-back, with experience at RCD Espanyol, was questioned about the match at Montjuïc on Sunday. As the 'guardian' of the left flank, he is expected to face Lamine Yamal, whose participation in the match against Sevilla is uncertain due to a muscle strain. Despite this, Pedrosa is aware of the challenge of facing Yamal as an opponent. "With his age, I have not seen such a decisive player. Last year, I faced him twice. You shouldn't obsess, he is a game-changer, and you have to stay focused throughout the game, but without putting too much pressure," he commented.

"Simply stay focused and look at those weak and strong points, where he tends to go. But one must also be cautious," Pedrosa warned.

Pedrosa also discussed Sevilla's game plan to 'stop' Barcelona

Now, regarding the match between FC Barcelona and Sevilla, Pedrosa mentioned that the Seville team plans to face the challenge without fear and with a defined game plan. "It's just what the coach proposes for us to try to execute it as best as possible on the field. We believe in his idea. Barcelona is in a good moment, but with confidence and doing things right, we can surprise them. We can deserve it and work towards it, to take the three points from there," he emphasized.

Lastly, speaking of the possible injuries that Barcelona could face after this international break in October, Pedrosa made it clear that the potential absences from the team do not make them a weak opponent at all. "Are Lewandowski or Yamal injured? We don't pay attention to that. If you start thinking about the opponent... we have to be the ones who set the pace. Focus on ourselves, and I always go to a field to try to win," he concluded.
