"He deserves it because he spent some time being criticised"

Pedri is in one of the best form of his career, having played a key role in most of the games he has played for FC Barcelona this season.
The midfielder gave an interview to ‘EFE’ in which he highlighted the good form of his teammate Raphinha, as well as highlighting the good relationship that exists between the young players of the team.
"We are always laughing and teasing each other, because there are a lot of players who are not even 20 years old. We laugh a lot and the good relationship we have off the pitch is transmitted inside," he says.
In addition to Pedri, another of Barca's footballing leaders is Brazilian Raphael Dias ‘Raphinha’, the team's second top scorer this season with 24 goals, whom he praises for his work rate.
"He deserves it very much because there was a time when criticism rained down on him, when he wasn't finding his best level, but you always saw him training, wanting to improve, wanting to have those opportunities that you knew were going to come to him because of the way he worked. He's spectacular," he adds.
And he also praises other teammates such as Pablo Paez Gavira ‘Gavi’ and Fermin Lopez - "it seems that they are revolutionised, but the work they both do is incredible", he says - as well as his friend Ferran Torres, who this season is seeing how his work is bearing fruit.
