Pedri: Being with the Spain national team is a dream and the goals will come later

Talented Pedri Gonzalez, Barcelona and Spain midfielder, spoke about his participation in the last match against Sweden, which ended in a 0-0 draw at Euro 2020.

After his participation in the last match, Pedri became the youngest player in the history of Spain to participate in a European Championship at the age of 18.

The player said during a press statement carried by the Catalan Sport: "I did not imagine being here, let alone starting the first match of the Euro. It is a dream to be with the national team."

And about whether he received a message from Messi after his participation: “I did not speak with Messi, he was also playing a match and I saw his goal already, I am happy for him.”

On Morata: "He is strong in his mind, he is a great player and gives us a lot. I am convinced that from now on the goals will come on their own."

And about the whistles, he replied, "Playing when people applaud you is much better than playing when they applaud you. I want to stay with the applause that helps us more."

And about the Sweden match, he said: "For me it was a game that we controlled from start to finish, they also had two chances, that's right, but we played a great game and if we keep creating chances in the end the goal will come."

He continued about the support on the field: "Ferran Torres, I already knew him before. We talk about everything that happens to us and try to keep calm before the matches."

Pedri concluded his speech on the pitch, saying: "The grass is not an excuse. We have to focus on our upcoming matches."

The Spanish national team fell into the trap of a goalless draw against its Swedish counterpart, in the confrontation that took place between them on Monday evening, at the "La Cartuja" stadium in Seville, as part of the first round of Group E in the current edition of the European Nations Cup "Euro 2020", which includes next to them Poland and Slovakia teams.

The two teams exchanged attacks during the match, but they failed to score through the opportunities that were available, the most dangerous of which was in favor of La Roja.

The Spanish and Swedish teams share second place in the table of Group E with a point each, as the two teams come behind Slovakia, the leader with 3 points, after beating Poland 2-1 at the "Gazprom Arya" stadium in St. Petersburg, Russia.
