Pedro Rodriguez was not being given a lot of first-team opportunities last season as he often got injured, but this season he has managed to pick up form and has been scoring goals at will.
Last season, while playing under Josep Guardiola, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 first-team.
His absence from the squad caused a lot of problems for the Catalan giants, who were unable to win the Spanish La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.
With defeats in two major competitions, Barcelona’s first-team coach, Josep Guardiola, decided to leave the club and it was Tito Vilanova who took over as the head coach of La Blaugrana.
Since the arrival of Tito Vilanova, the Catalan giants have been able to carry themselves well as they are yet to lose a single game in the Spanish La Liga.
Currently, Barcelona are at the top of the Spanish La Liga points table, eight points above their arch-rivals, Real Madrid.
This is not only because Vilanova is an extraordinary coach, but also because he has seen a few players come back in full swing during this season.
Two of these players are definitely http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629 and the Spanish winger, Pedro Rodriguez.
This season, Pedro has managed to show that he is an extraordinary player, someone who deserves to be on the pitch and not on the bench.
Recently he spoke about how he has changed this season and how this season is different from the last once, where he was lacking confidence and fitness.
“The difference to last season? Confidence. Last year was irregular for me. I had injuries, there were big games in which I did not play and it affected my confidence.”
“Yes, I thought it would never be the same again, that crossed my mind. In those moments you think many things that go through your head. But I kept working and I am glad at how things have gone.”
“At the end of the season was when I said I have to change, when I saw that going to the Euros was very difficult.”
“I never dropped my shoulders and now I have the good fortune to enjoy the confidence of the Coaches of two teams that it is just as difficult for a player.”
Pedro Rodriguez has scored 2 goals and assisted 4 in the 17 appearances which he has given for La Blaugrana this season.
