Pedri says ‘intensity is the key’ to Hansi Flick’s Barcelona

Barcelona midfielder Pedri has hailed his team’s intensity under Hansi Flick for their great start to the season.

The Catalans are now nine points clear after beating Espanyol 3-1 on Sunday, and Pedri says the whole team deserves credit.

“The key is the intensity we put into the games, the defensive line is doing a spectacular job and, when we have the ball, we have the chance to have a lot of chances,” he told reporters.

“The players we have upfront set our style: when you see how Lamine plays one-on-one or when you send a ball into space to Raphinha.
