Frenkie de Jong took time out to praise new team-mate Pedri ahead of Barcelona’s Spanish Super Cup clash with Real Sociedad on Wednesday.
The Netherlands midfielder attended the pre-match press conference along with coach Ronald Koeman and was asked for his thoughts on the 18-year-old midfielder.
“I think Pedri has a lot of talent and a lot of quality. In my opinion he’s a crack.”
The midfielders are the only two Barcelona players to feature in every La Liga game this season, with De Jong finding some good form in recent games.
The Dutchman was asked about his improved performances and admitted he’s feeling good after being asked to play in a more advanced role.
