Six interceptions Sunday
Pedri recorded one shot and six interceptions in Sunday's 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia.
Analysis: Pedri was tasked with a role in the middle of the pitch once again Sunday, as he recorded 70 minutes for Spain. The midfielder saw his best moments in the defense, notching a team-leading six interceptions. He is yet to record a goal contribution this tournament after a scoreless draw in their opener.
Creative versus Cape Verde
Pedri generated two shots (one on goal), 11 crosses (three accurate) and eight corners in Monday's 0-0 draw versus Cape Verde. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 93rd minute.
Analysis: Pedri unsurprisingly started Spain's opening match of the World Cup, completing an elite midfield alongside Rodri and Fabian Ruiz. He served as the creative fulcrum of the team, finishing the match with team highs in chances created (five), crosses (11) and corners (eight). None of that production led to a goal though, as Spain's attack with consistently frustrated by Cape Verde's low block. While Pedri was undoubtedly impressive, he will need to do even more to get Spain's attack humming. As one of the favorites and a possession-happy team, this will not be the last team Spain faces that will sit back and absorb the pressure. Pedri will need to be at his best to beat that block with his elite passing ability.
