Leo Messi gives the face almost always, but the time has showed that the Argentinian can not do it all alone. To measure that have happened the years, the '10' of the FC Barcelona has gone changing his game and has gone needing more the collaboration of his mates. But the club, in place to surround him of players with which can understand, left that they went Xavi Hernández, Andrés Iniesta, Neymar Jr or Luis Suárez, the big partners of the rosarino during a lot of years, and no fichó replaced of level
They arrived then Ousmane Dembélé, Philippe Coutinho or more recently Frenkie of Jong, but any has finished to understand to the rosarino like his predecessors. Perhaps only the Dutch has a good relation futbolística with the forward and is used to to be of help futbolísticamente speaking. But luckily for Leo, this summer has arrived to the team a youngster of alone 18 years that is converting with the step of the parties in his best partner.
It treats of Pedri Rodríguez, that has burst into to the big in the Barcelona and is deserving be a fixed in the eleven initial. The Tenerifean is definitely the footballer that better understands and complements to Messi in these moments. When both coincide, the six times Balloon of Gold enjoys and the Barça flows and plays a lot of better. Against the Real Sociedad, for example, this remained totally clear in the first part.
The attacker received 10 passes of Pedri of the 32 that delivered along the crash the isleño. By his part, Leo looked for to the ex of The Palms in 8 occasions, only 4 less than to Of Jong, that went the player to the that more happened him the balloon. This leaves very clear the easy that both find and the a lot of that are enjoying in the field when they coincide. A pair of fantasy that with the step of the time could go to much more.
And it is that Pedri and his Canarian talent give him to Messi something that anybody more in the Barcelona gives him. The one of Tegueste knows to play to one or two touch and is surely the one who better finds the walls that to the '10' so much like him near of the area. The youngster mediapunta risks whenever it can and does not hide to the hour to ask it, something that to the of Rosario comes him very well, since it gives him a lot of more possibilities, further of the played individual.
Messi, more comfortable with Pedri that with Coutinho
To the captain sees him a lot of more comfortable with the international Sub-21 Spanish that with Coutinho or any another footballer that can play in this zone of the field. This is something of what is taking note Koeman, by what would be normal that in the next duels the Tenerifean was usual headline, as long as his physical state allowed it to him. The rotations will arrive in front of the load of parties and this is something that will affect to the of the island.
