Estanis Pedrola showing Xavi he can be useful
The youngster is on fire in the Barca B side
Estanis Pedrola debuted with the first team in January, even though he's still a Juvenil player. It was just 10 minutes, coming on for Ilias Akhomach at Mallorca in the 1-0 win, a reward for his good performances with the B team. However Pedrola is proving to Xavi that he could be worth leaning on in the months to come.
He put in a great performance with Barc Atletico on Saturday against Alcoyano, his best so far. Great dribbling, speed, a threat to the defence and a double. His first with the B team.
"There's no secret," he said when asked about his great performance. "It's daily work in training, fighting, believing in one's self. And you get the results at the weekend. It's about going bit by bit, adding each day, game by game, and scoring goals to help the team.
"I feel very comfortable after (getting back from) the injury and touch wood, it stays like this."
He said he loves the counter-attack, "I smell blood and I go for it," he explained.
That said, he knows he must keep working, and Rafa Marquez gave him some advice.
"He has to improve his decision making and learn to find the player best placed to finish."
Pedrola will take note.
