Coach Flick’s comment is that egos kill success. He further continued to resonate around Barcelona following the team’s performance in Vallecas. When Barcelona drew 1-1 with Rayo Vallecano, on a post-match interview he stated, “last year we were a team and we must keep it like that.”
The La Liga defending champions coach’s blunt assessment surprised several players. Prompting speculation over whom his words might have been directed at.
Asked for his response during Spain’s national team camp by reporters. Pedri Gonzalez avoided controversy but addressed the subject directly. “I do not know who Flick was referring to, I suppose he will tell us when we return from the break,” said the Barcelona midfielder.
Speaking at a Mapfre sponsorship event, he added that it was complicated to talk about Barcelona while focused on international duty. Pedri stressed, instead of the importance of collective effort and dismissed any discussion of individual superiority.
“A star of the national team is the team,” he said. Underscoring his belief in unity. He concluded by emphasizing that every player has a role and that working together was more important than personal recognition.
The Barcelona central star has got the Spain international call-up for the World Cup Qualification Europe round 1. They will be facing Bulgaria for the first round, marking the clash a the European heavyweights.
