"They're playing on a different planet. We can give our best and do whatever we can, but when Spain plays the way they know how, we have to accept it. They play a different kind of football, at a very high level. We could talk about Spain all night long. What we saw is the consequence of what Spanish football has done in the last twenty or twenty-five years."
"They've started to produce very intelligent players. If you look at Pedri, he's so light he could be blown away if it's windy, but he's one of the best midfielders in the world because he's very clever and always puts the team first."
Spain beat Georgia 2-0 in Elche in World Cup qualifying, demonstrating a high-level, possession-based style rooted in long-term development. Spanish football has produced very intelligent players over the past twenty to twenty-five years who excel tactically and technically. Pedri exemplifies that production: light in stature yet among the world’s best midfielders because of cleverness and consistent team-first play. Pedri’s technique, intelligence and positional awareness make him difficult to stop despite physical limitations. Spain face Bulgaria next in World Cup qualifying on Tuesday.
