Fedry shared his thoughts about getting on the national team.
[골닷컴] Reporter Lee Myung-soo = Barcelona midfielder Fedri said that he is not setting a future goal ahead of the possibility of boarding the Spanish national team.
18-year-old Pedri had a wonderful season at Camp Nou. In the NXGN 50 list of the best Wonder Kid of 2021, Pedri was placed in fourth place.

Due to Pedri’s sudden rise, he was the first to be named on the A team. Spain, led by coach Luis Enrique, will play a World Cup qualifier against Greece on Thursday.
In an exclusive interview with’Goal.com’ conducted after NXGN 2021 selection, Pedri said, “I don’t like setting future goals.”
“I am trying to improve every day. I’m only thinking about playing harder than before and continuing to grow with Barcelona.”
“It’s a dream,” Pedri said about the possibility of being selected for the Spanish national team at Euro 2020 this summer. I hope so, but I have to keep playing hard on the ground.”
Given that Pedri debuted on the Spanish U-21 team in September, the odds would have been very low if the question had been asked at the start of the season.
But over the course of the season, Pedri showed a striking breath with Messi, making La Liga the best creative midfielder.
As a result, Pedri had a real chance to be part of the Spanish national team at Euro 2020. This is especially the case if Pedri shows impressive performances in the World Cup qualifiers against Greece, Georgia and Kosovo.
He is likely to face fierce competition for midfield positions alongside Thiago Alcantara, Koke, Fabian Ruiz, Saul Niguez, Dani Sebayos and Marcos Lorente.

Pedri was ranked fourth on NXGN in 2021, but he is not the highest ranked player in Barcelona. A teammate’s ordination party was chosen as the winner of the men’s division.
The party won a fierce competition with Eduardo Camabinga, Gio Reina, and teammates Pedri to become the sixth male winner, followed in the same footsteps as Jayden Sancho, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Hodrigo.
Fedry’s colleague, Barcelona midfielder Irax Moriba, has also recently been named in Ronald Koeman’s squad and placed 50th on the leaderboards.
