Good day, everyone, and welcome to my blog. This month has been an incredible ride for all FC Barcelona fans worldwide, and I can say now with full confidence that FC Barcelona is back and ready to win it all this season in all competitions. The work Hansi Flick is doing at the club is incredible and I can only hope it brings out results at the end of the season. So, in today's post, I want to give my thoughts about this cooperation that has been going on since the start of last season in La Liga.
The cooperation is between Pedri and Bellingham on who to be a better player, and I say this without sentiment and forget about the rivalry. Pedri is a way better player than Bellingham, without a doubt. Last season Bellingham was the face of the Real Madrid attack alongside Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo. The Englishman was vital for Real Madrid as he was a threat in front of goals and was part of the top three highest goalscorers in Laliga last season, but as for Pedri, he had a rough last season due to picking up multiple injuries during last season which saw him being inactive last season.
There is something I said last season and I am 100 percent right about it and that is Bellingham without goals is just another normal player without any impact on the midfield some people said I don't know the ball but it's the truth, but why from Pedri even if he doesn't score goals you will definitely see his impact on the pitch and it's not by running around the pitch which is what Bellingham seems to be doing this day on the pitch, it's about how as a midfielder you control the tempo of the game and give incredible passes when there's an opening for your teammate.
Pedri offers qualities on the pitch as a midfielder, but still, some people don't accept this logic. Take a look at the Bayern Munich game in the Champions League and the El Clasico game on Saturday you will see what I am talking about if you watch that match. Pedri was calm under pressure and was able to move the ball away without losing it. There is a sense of calmness when every Pedri is on the ball, and each time I watch him play, it just reminds me of how Andres Iniesta was in FC Barcelona during his time at the club.
Bellingham has been struggling this season since he is not in the position he usually played last season, which has prevented him from scoring goals. Ancelotti is now playing the Englishman as a box-to-box midfielder, but that is not working quite well for Bellingham this season. There is no special thing Bellingham brings to the midfield but he has successfully convinced Real Madrid fans that with his work rate on the pitch from running around and they are equally happy, but when Gavi was doing the same thing and it did it better than Bellingham the same Real Madrid fans said he just run for nothing on the pitch.
Pedri is the best midfielder in the world and I will pick him any day and time because he possesses the qualities a proper midfielder should have and even more talent. So, guys, that will be all for now. Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.
