Pedro Rodríguez defends from criticism

Pedro Rodríguez gave today a press conference at the Ciutat Esportiva, in which he declared to be surprised about the way that people have to criticise the game of FC Barcelona. He stated: “People are being very unfair to the team. We are doing fine and they should appreciate that we are playing good”.  

However, he added: “We have to improve a few things but I think they will finally come. We’re happy with the results and the way we are playing and that’s what matters. What really matters is for the team to carry on winning and playing well.”

Pedro also spoke in defence of his team-mate Leo Messi. “His stats and his performances are spectacular, as they are every year. He wants to keep helping the team as he has done over the last few seasons. Messi is the one who makes the difference.”, he said. In fact, Pedro added that the way the team is playing this season means that “other players are getting more chances in front of goal, and that’s good for the team”.

Moreover, Pedro admitted that the man who has most improved his goalscoring form has been Alexis. Pedro is delighted about that and adds that such a strong contender for a place in the FCB attack “is a challenge for me too, it means I need to compete and train harder than ever”.

Pedro insists in that he has not the slightest intention of leaving the club. “I have been here for a long time and this is where I want to be. They have always treated me very well here”.

Barça’s next game is on Wednesday against AC Milan at the Camp Nou in the Champions League. Pedro stated: “They are a historic team, with great players and they’ll be a hard team to play against”. We’ll have to be careful, because this’ll be a hard game even though they are not at their best right now.”
