00:00 Ferran has always spoken from the point of trust that Pedri has to have.
00:06 I also told you that Pedri had to meet Pedri, but in that figurative sense of acquiring trust.
00:13 Pedri has the best version of Pedri, we just don't know where he is, because he is so good.
00:18 And we expect so much from him that it is infinite.
00:22 We just hope that he acquires that confidence and that security that he has now, so that he can develop all his potential.
00:30 But in many aspects, as coaches, we can trust a footballer, but it has to be the footballer who takes that step forward, as he has done,
00:38 to also return that confidence, but more than that, in that sense, above all, to find himself safe and confident to do the things that, in many respects, only he can do.
00:49 Yes, I think I have worked a lot to get to the end of the season as best as possible.
00:54 Luis gives me a lot of confidence and I am very happy and looking forward to starting the season.
01:00 Very good feelings, we wanted to leave here with good feelings to go to the Euro, and that's how it has been.
01:06 We have been able to react to the goal that they have scored for us early and I am very happy with the game.
