After Spain successfully won the European Cup trophy, even though he missed the summit match due to a knee injury, the core of the midfield Pedri still could not hide his excitement and joy. After the match, he shared with the fans the glory and emotion of the injury through the interview of La 1.
I can't tell you how I feel about winning the championship.
Speaking of his feelings about winning the championship, Pedri's words were filled with mixed emotions: "I really don't know what to say. Although the physical therapist repeatedly told me to avoid any behavior that could aggravate the injury, including close contact with the crowd, because of my knee, it's really hard to stay out of the way at a time like this. Luckily, I was able to record a video message to my teammates, asking them to bring back the Europa League. They did, and I'm incredibly proud of them for that. At the same time, I think fondly of my family, who have always been my strongest support, giving me endless support and encouragement in good times and bad."
Optimism to face injury challenges
Pedri showed amazing optimism about his injury: "Actually I think I'm quite lucky because in my career I rarely miss important competitions due to injuries. I have some regrets this time, but I will face it positively and try my best to recover and return to the field as soon as possible. I believe that as long as I keep my strong belief and unremitting efforts, I will be able to overcome the challenges brought by this injury."
Cheers to Olmo's Golden Boot
In the interview, Pedri also mentioned the news that his teammate Olmo won the Golden Boot: "Olmo is really an amazing player, both his character and skills are impeccable. We are not only teammates, but also good brothers. I'm very happy for him that he was able to shine in the Europa League. His success is also a reflection of our whole team's efforts and I'm sure we'll create more brilliance together in the future."
