We all remember the successful 2020/2021 campaign of Pedri that allowed him to introduce himself to the world of football as a top tier talent destined to make history with Spain and FC Barcelona.
Unfortunately, football has a really short memory and does not make any exceptions, as the only thing the Canary player has undergone recently is an ordeal of muscular injuries. Back in that season he played around 80 matches with his club and national team.
Such an amount of appearances caused him to become exhausted, leading him to suffer eight muscular injuries that have kept him from taking the pitch for 394 days since September of 2021. More than a full year of medical absence im which his most decisive and joyful self has vanished.
The last setback came in his latest match at San Mamés, in which we witnessed the traumatized expression of the Canary midfielder, the almost tangible desperation of a player that has hit rock bottom due to the fact that he cannot enjoy what he loves most: football. The cry of a gem that went from being world class to one of the bunch. A struggle that has transcended physicality to become a big psychological barrier.
Pedri is one of the pieces destined to earn a spot among the all time greats of our country. His talent and skills proved that a long time ago.
However, his health has literally dictated the opposite in the last few years. Nobody knows what the key to Pedri González’s curse is. Did he burn himself out in that cursed season? Is it his diet? Or could it be his physical preparation?
The doubts around him are becoming increasingly bigger and a solution needs to be found for one of the best national talents of the last decade to smile again with the ball on his feet.
