Barca's plan to make Pedri the perfect player

The arrival of Ronald Koeman meant that the Barca youngsters were going to get a chance in the first team. Even though Ansu Fati is very good, the real surprise package in the last few games has been Pedri. 

He started in both the 'Clasico' and in Turin in the Champions League match versus Juventus. In the two most important games for Barca so far this term, Koeman played him from the beginning. In the first of those games, Antoine Griezmann started on the bench while Ansu Fati began the Juventus match on the subs bench. 

Barca see him as a great player who can shine on the highest stage. 'Mundo Deportivo' also says that the club have a plan to make Pedri improve physically as well. 

His quality is undeniable, but Barca think that the ex-Las Palmas man will be even better if had more muscle mass. This without ignoring the fact he is only 17. 

Andres Iniesta and Leo Messi both went through this phase and then had injuries at the beginning. Then, they gained muscle pass and had a more balanced diet. Both things made them very good physically. They were hardly ever injured. 

Pedri is now known across Europe. His exhibition in Turin also helped him attract attention internationally. According to 'Sport', Juve were shocked by his performance. 

Both Paulo Dybala and Claudio Marchisio admitted privately how good Pedri is. They think he has a very bright future at the club. Pedri's opponent cannot believe his quality, Barca want to make him the perfect player in all aspects and he, in the meantime, only thinks about doing what he knows best: playing football.
