Barcelona’s Pedri loving new role ‘closer to the danger zone’ with Spain

Barcelona midfielder Pedri has been talking about life under Luis de la Fuente with Spain at Euro 2024 and his position in the team.

Pedri has been playing in a more advanced role for his country and says he’s really enjoying getting more involved in the attacking play.

“Luis de la Fuente believes that the closer I am to the box, the better,” he told El Pais.

“I’m closer to the danger zone. Everything I do has more relevance in the game. Also goals and assists, of course.

“On the other hand, when you are a little further behind, you help bring the ball forward.
