The midfielder Pedri has continued to impress the world ever since his move to FC Barcelona, but lately, he has improved his game to become a much more well-rounded player and currently remains a key component of this Blaugrana team.

It is not rare to see some of the most notable personalities in football speak highly of the Canarian midfielder, and as Mundo Deportivo has reported, the latest such praise has come from none other than the former Barcelona star Thierry Henry.

Talking about the Canary Islander and his performance in the game against Newcastle United, the French commentator said:

“Pedri sees the game differently. If you touch that ball, Pedri says, ‘Don’t touch that ball. Don’t do that.’ If you move something, he says, ‘Why did you move it? Don’t touch my things.'”

Henry went on to highlight what makes him such a good attacking midfielder:

“He is very precise in the way he sees the game. If we think about it, as Guardiola himself said, any player who enjoys giving assists and playing for others is what we call a true attacking midfielder.”

The Frenchman also went on to compare Pedri with another Barcelona midfield icon:

“Pedri is the player who most resembles Laudrup.”

These comments from Thierry Henry point out some less talked-about aspects of what makes Pedri such a good player. Hopefully, we will continue to see the Canarian weave his magic for Barcelona for years to come.
