Pedri: “Olmo has a lot of magic and I like it when he turns between the lines”

In an interview given to Mundo Deportivo, Pedro González speaks wonders Dani Olmothat he has been well with the Spanish team since the time of Luis Enrique as a technician red.

The big signing of the summer was Dani Olmo, a good friend of his.

Yes, the truth is that we were talking about it in the summer, that he was coming, that I wanted to play with him. It is a privilege. I think he had two fantastic games. I already know its quality, that not many people have seen it.

There has been a lot of debate in the summer during the Euros as to whether Pedri or Olmo and Barça show they can play together.

Yes, we already know this. We also played here in the national team with Luis Enrique. When we played together we understood each other and knew that was not a problem.

Hey, and now who is the magician in Barça?

He, he It has a lot of magic, especially when it turns between the lines, I like it. It’s fun to play with him.

In other words, we let him be a magician and we can call him a director.

Yes, I like it.

Nico Williams is missing, that’s all. They also squeezed him.

Ah, we were a little hesitant. He has a contract with the club, the situation is difficult. If he decides to stay for something will be. Now is good. Here in the national team, we are very happy with him and the truth is that if he is happy, we are all happy.

But there was Raphinha, who started very well and wanted to defend himself.

Sure, it’s normal. I think at Barça there is always talk of leaving, of someone else coming and playing before you. And I think Rapha is a player who, apart from everything, the goals, the assists he gives, is the one who works hard, the one who gives everything everything. And that is greatly appreciated. I always have him in my team.

And then there was the boy, Lamine. Pedri, Olmo, Yamal… the basis of the selection. Will that help you at Barça?

Yes, we know each other both in the national team and in Barça. Not much to say about Lamine. I think everyone can see it. We try to help you be calm, have fun.

And before you talk to me about Gavi, who looks very eager to return. How do you see it?

Well, I can see it well. I talk to him almost every day. I always see him at the Ciutat Esportiva, he is working hard to come back well. I tell him to be calm, that the worst is over. Now he is on the field happier because the first months of the injury were the hardest. I want to play with him, but I hope he recovers well.

And with others, as it were: Ansu Fati, Frenkie de Jong, etc. They have little left to fall back on.

Yes, clearly. To everyone out there. I think Ronald (Araujo) has a little more left than the others, but we want to have the whole squad there at its best.
