Barca's plan so that Pedri explodes like Neymar

The quality of Pedri, one of the surprises of this 2020-21 Barca, is beyond all doubt. The ex-Las Palmas player has surprised everyone.

It was expected that the Tenerife-born player would gain a place in the Barca team in the long term, but Pedri has broken down barriers to such an extent that Koeman gave him his debut as a starter in the 'Clásico'... and even considers him to be unquestionable ahead of other much more contrasting figures.

The explosion of the player has not changed the Barcelona plan one iota. Like any 17-year-old, Pedri still needs to gain muscle mass and body.

For that, like what Barcelona already did with a weak Neymar in 2013, the Spain under 21 international is doing extra hours in the gym in the evenings.

The idea of the club, but also the player's, is that Pedri can go more into collisions, and that, of course, his body is much more prepared for possible injuries.

Just look at the change Ney made to Barca from the 2013-14 to the 2014-15 seasons to see that this plan is an excellent idea. According to 'AS', Pedri is following the same advice from his agent, Héctor Peris, who is also the agent of Ferran Torres.

The agent of the Manchester City player advised the ex-Valencia player to physically improve last season and this season is picking up the results of what was sown during 2019-20.
