Barcelona legend lavishes praise on academy talent – ‘Players like him are underestimated’
Former Barcelona forward Pedro Rodriguez has spoken highly of young Fermin Lopez, saying that players like him are often overlooked in today’s game.
In an interview with El Pais (h/t SPORT), the Champions League winner described Fermin as someone who always offers himself both in attack and defence.
Pedro highlighted Fermin’s willingness to make sacrifices for the team without complaining, a quality he feels goes unnoticed.
“Footballers like Fermin, who keep moving non-stop, are greatly underestimated. These players usually arrive in the box and manage to score goals too,” Pedro shared.
Lamine Yamal compared to legends
Pedro also had words of praise for Barcelona’s rising star Lamine Yamal. He called him “the most complete winger in the world” and pointed out his exceptional vision and decision-making.
Pedro praised Yamal’s ability to create chances from both wings or even when playing centrally.
