Pedri went after Hansi Flick following the Chelsea-Barça match: 'Coach, i'm going to...'

Barça left Stamford Bridge deeply affected after the tough defeat against Chelsea. The English team showed alarming superiority in the physical aspect, but also tactically. Maresca turned Hansi Flick's approach upside down, and he was unable to react from the bench.

It's clear that Barça was far from their best version and much of the blame lies with Pedri. The absence of the Canary Islander, who missed the match against Chelsea due to a distal femoral biceps tear in his left leg, highlighted his importance in the culé team. With the "8" on the field, Hansi Flick's team is a completely different team.

Pedri, untouchable

Barça knows that their offensive structure weakens every time the Canary Islander isn't there. The team's rhythm changes, ball circulation is less clean, and the pressing after losing possession loses synchronization. Even the most creative footballers in the locker room admit that Pedri is the one who sets the height of the attack and who organizes the timing when building from the back.

That's why his performance has a direct impact on the project's growth. In a season where the club is trying to recover identity, leadership, and competitive consistency, Pedri is the figure who allows all those pieces to come together. His reading of the game is so sharp that Barça depend on his clarity to keep a recognizable style in the most demanding scenarios.

Pedri went to Hansi Flick after Chelsea-Barça: "Coach, I'm going to..."

The demands of the match against Chelsea proved that Pedri is extremely necessary in Hansi Flick's system. That's why, after the final whistle, the "8" wanted to send a message of hope to Hansi Flick. "Coach, I'm going to make an effort to be ready for the weekend against Alavés", he said in front of his teammates.

That message reveals the ambition and responsibility that Pedri feels within the project. The schedule is tight, the opponents demand the maximum, and Barça need their sharpest brain. The Canary Islander wants to be a protagonist in the upcoming matches, as he knows that his mere presence can make a difference in key moments.

Hansi Flick trusts Pedri 100%

The German coach has designed much of his offensive structure thinking about Pedri's position and movement. He knows that his return will be essential for Barça's aspirations this season. That's why his presence on Saturday against Alavés is so important.

If Pedri manages to arrive on time, which he will, Flick will get back his most decisive player in creation. What is clear is that Pedri is extremely necessary. His quality, magic, and boldness with the ball at his feet allow Hansi Flick to breathe easier from the sideline, and that's gold for the German coach.
