Barcelona great Andres Iniesta is helping mentor Pedri as he continues his career with Vissel Kobe.
Pedri admires Iniesta and Andres likes Pedri too. They are in contact and WhatsApp each other, with Pedri keeping his advice close. One of them was to be himself and not think about comparisons.
Iniesta remembers his roots and about how he was compared with Michael Laudrup back in the day. Even Johan Cruyff said it in an El Periodico article. Pedri has taken Iniesta's advice to heart.
“I still have to work a lot to be someone in the world of football," he said after the Athletic game.
Pedri has the best mirror possible and following Iniesta's advice, his growth as a star will be impossible.
