Pedri has been hailed as the Iniesta, the Xavi of the Spain team that will go after World Cup glory in Qatar.The praise came from former Liverpool and Newcastle United left-back Jose Enrique, a player who was crowded out of the Spain squad by the countrys last golden generation.Jose Enriques peak playing years coincided with Spains most dominant period in international football, and although he does not consider Luis Enriques squad quite at that same level, the likes of Barcelona youngster Pedri make him optimistic Riley Dixon Jersey for the World Cup.Spain won Euro 2008, the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and Euro 2012 in a sensational period of dominance. They have not won a major tournament since, but a burgeoning group of young talent is emerging once again, with 19-year-old midfielder Pedri among the most exciting talents in the world game.To me, the player that has more projection in terms of image on that team is Pedri, he wont be out of the team, said Jose Enrique.You also Jon Halapio Jersey have Ferran Torres doing well for Barcelona and Pau Torres , the central defender of Villarreal; I think he will be key for the team as well.Speaking to Stats Perform, Jose Enrique said Spains final squad for the finals would be difficult to predict due to head coach Luis Enrique often filtering players in and out of his squad.But to choose one who will make the difference 100 per cent, and that already did in the past, it is Pedri, Jose Enrique said.For me, he is the star of the national team, the Iniesta, the Xavi. Back in that day it was different because there were many and that is why Spain won everything. But if you mention Spain now, the first player that comes to my mind is Pedri.Pedri endured an injury-disrupted 2021-22 season with Barcelona, scoring five goals and having one a sist in 22 games acro s all competitions. Only five Barcelona players created more chances than the 31 he carved out. In the previous season, he played a team-high 52 matches, going on to win Tuttosports prized Golden Boy award as Europes top young talent. He will be expected to continue to grow into his responsible role in Kareem Martin Jersey coach Xavis Barcelona team in the new season.Barcelona greats Xavi and Iniesta were at the heart of Spains indomitable midfield for their three succe sive big tournament triumphs.Jose Enrique was starring in the Premier League at the time but got no further than the Spain Under-21 team, such was the strength throughout the national squad.He says the current group of players Phil Simms Jersey and the pool that brought glory to Spain during a dazzling four-year period cannot be compared, but stre sed that does not mean the new breed cannot be succe sful.A run to the Euro 2020 semi-finals was a step in the right direction for Spain, after a run of disappointing big-stage performances, fuelling Jose Enriques belief they will be a threat when Qatar hosts in November and December.Spain must navigatea challenging group that will see them face Germany, Japan and Costa Rica.Spain will always be one of the favourites because I believe that Spain always is, Jose Enrique said. But to win a World Cup isnt easy and Spain Rhett Ellison Jersey did it: Euro-World Cup-Euro when theyhad a brutal selection of players, and now it is completely different.It has a magnificent coach and a squad that changes depending on the players performances and I love this about Luis Enrique, but it is true that we cannot compare.We now have a young squad with few veterans, and they could win the World Cup because anything can happen in football. England had a very young squad and made it to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals.Youngsters have more support than before and Spain can be a surprise because Luis Enrique knows very well how to play. He has young players but full of desire and hunger. The most important thing for me is to start well. If they do, they are capable to win against any team, and why not Germany.
