Ferran Torres and Pedri, two of Spain’s most promising talents, made their mark this week in the Champions League with Manchester City and Barcelona respectively, but the two youngsters actually have a friendship after having met one year ago in Valencia.
At that time, Ferran was 19 and Pedri was 16, with the former playing for Valencia and the latter for Las Palmas, and the agency that represents them both, Leaderbrock, thought it would be good for them to meet.
Hace un año, Pedri ha sorprendido a Europa con su actuación en Juventus, mientras que Ferran brilla en City, donde ha marcado dos goles en la Champions League en sus dos primeros partidos.
Ferran y Pedri suelen hablar de sus experiencias – ambos han salido de su zona cómoda en Valencia y las Islas Canarias para enfrentarse a sí mismos – y a menudo brindan apoyo mutuo después de los partidos.
Due to the slight age gap between the two, they have never played together for Spain. However, with the 20-year-old Ferran already a part of Luis Enrique’s plans and the 17-year-old Pedri with the under-21s for now, it surely won’t be too long before they are both team-mates in the senior squad.
Ferran and Pedri are two Spanish kids who have already made their mark at two of the biggest clubs in the world, yet they are both aware that there is a lot more to come. They have time ahead of them, but their ambition is pushing them towards success.
Estas son dos estrellas del futuro, y tanto Manchester City como Barcelona están convencidos de que han obtenido un acuerdo en Ferran y Pedri. La amistad se verá impulsada por cada jugador, y sin duda pronto jugarán juntos por España.
