Pedro, 25, sat back on the cold bench at the Emirates Stadium, pulled the neckline of his blazer and shrank back into his suit as if to stop the February wind in London.
Just in the past month, it is memorable for Pedro, who has scored six goals in five league matches and four goals in three King's Cup matches. In the whole month, Pedro is the most stable scoring machine of Barcelona, and his scenery on the court has surpassed Messi and villa.
Pedro has always made headlines in sports this month, and agent Jose Odin has tried everything to keep him in the spotlight. However, when Zhuoyang came back from Asia, he didn't need to go to the stadium to score goals, so he directly took all the attention of the media.
On February 2, Pedro, as the top player of Barcelona's attack end, and a group of substitutes were taken to the Mediterranean stadium in Almeria by Guardiola. They also defeated the opponent 3-0 with the goals of left back Adriano, second team midfielder Tiago and Dutch new aid Alfred, and reached the king's Cup final 8-0.
Such a hearty victory, but not a few media attention, Barcelona forward line competition, Pedro is very clear that his target is not Zhuoyang, because Zhuoyang is too special, his scoring ability is the strongest in the team, but also the only attacking height more than one meter eight people. There is Zhuoyang, Barcelona's offensive routines in the front court will be much more abundant, and scoring is also easy.
Atletico Ma came to fight fiercely, but was completely beaten by Zhuoyang's hat trick and Messi's Mei Kai twice, 5:1 lightly. One month away from the team, out of play for 11 games, Zhuoyang once returned to have no reason to forgive. After winning Atletico, Barcelona have won 16 games in a row in the league, with 10 points more than Real Madrid, who has one less game.
Pedro knows that such a Zhuoyang can't be shaken by himself. Agent Odin also said that his competitor is villa, both in the national team and the club. But the reality is even more helpless. At the age of 30, Hulu Wa's unselfish way of playing football is very gratifying, and the adaptability of his three positions in the left, the middle and the right is beyond Pedro's ability. What's more, villa's agent is Pere Guardiola, the elder brother of guarai.
Is it hard to aim at Messi? The Boyang behind Messi is despair.
Boyang, 20, was three years younger than Messi, but only a year later than Messi to enter the first team. However, it seems that the debut is the peak, Boyang is more and more far away from the main starting position in recent years.
Four days ago in the 23rd round of La Liga, in order to prepare for today's 18 first leg of the Champions League, guarai took only the first half of the main team to Xihong, Boyang finally waited for the chance, he and Pedro led the starting line.
However, the result of the match disappointed everyone. Barca was drawn 1-1 by Sihon athletic at the great mill, which ended the winning streak. Pedro and Boyan were unlucky enough to waste a lot of chances. Pedro thinks it's likely that he was lucky in January and hurt his character.
Barcelona's only goal, or 70 minutes after the game on the bench Zhuoyang breakthrough to Villa created a chance, huluwa equalised.
To tell you the truth, the draw hit Pedro and Boyan a little bit, and made them realize the gap between the current stage and the Trident. In the past, when he replaced one of the three in the starting line-up, Pedro and Boyan were both very good, even the best one. However, leaving Zhuo Meihu alone to pick up the attack beam, it immediately seemed to be in short supply.
Boyan thinks that's why he has few chances to play, so he wants to go. Boyan told Pedro that if he wants to leave Barcelona, he must leave. As a result, Pedro also wanted to leave, he informed the agent of his own ideas, Ferguson has always been very fond of Pedro.
Pedro, who was on the bench, was sad to think of leaving Camp Nou. He had always thought he would stay with Barcelona and Boyan, because they were all from ramacia. Pedro doesn't want to think about whether such a forced departure is caused by high price Zhuoyang. Zhuoyang is not the first big man from abroad. Barca has a tradition of attracting top-level attackers.
Pedro is very convinced with Zhuoyang. Just like the ball just now, it will not exist if it is replaced by himself or Boyang, or even Messi and villa. But Zhuoyang opened the record in the sixth minute.
Without Zhuoyang's physical advantage, Messi's Cross picking becomes aimless. Without Zhuoyang turning around in the Arsenal guard group and hanging Alexander song's golden hook upside down, Barcelona will not splash this attack.
But with Zhuoyang, there is a perfect start.
