Lionel Messi: A partner uncovered details of their relationship

Pedro González López, better known as Pedri, has confirmed the great chemistry he has on the court with Lionel Messi. Despite being 18 years old, and living his first season at FC Barcelona, the Canarian understands perfectly the game of the Barça captain. That complicity with the Argentine has been key for the Catalan team to raise the level in recent weeks and is fighting for the double in Spain (LaLiga and Copa).

“I enjoy it. You will see it and enjoy the things it does. It is like that in games and in training sessions. Being able to share moments with him is incredible. I always look for him on the pitch because he always knows what he's doing”, the canary confessed in an interview with the Spanish newspaper‘ Marca ’. “He has always tried to find me and tells me to put myself between the lines that he is going to find me. I look for him, I give him passes because he is the one who can create danger, he added.

Although Pedri has a great relationship with Lionel Messi on the field, he has not dared to ask him to stay at FC Barcelona beyond June 30, 2021, the date on which the Argentine ends his contract with the City club Condal. "Hopefully he stays. It is his personal decision that he must think well and take with all the peace of mind possible", explained Pedri about the continuity of Messi.

On the other hand, the Barça footballer has appreciated the good moment of his team in LaLiga Santander, a tournament in which the 'Blaugranas' have recovered their good feelings and are already only four points behind the leader Atlético de Madrid. "The truth is that I see it very well. We are doing some great games like La Real. With the five defense system we are playing very, very well and above all the results are coming out. We have adapted perfectly. If you play well, but the results don't come out, nothing is worth it. I hope that we will continue like this for a long time and that we will be able to choose to win the League”, concluded Pedri.
