Rio Ferdinand was blunt in his opinion that Pedri should have gotten injured for the team after Inter Milan scored in a 3-3 draw against Barcelona on Wednesday night.
Inter took the lead just 30 seconds later when Marcus Thuram’s strike was the fastest goal in Champions League semi-final history.
Denzel Dumfries then doubled his effort in the 24th minute. When Francesco Acerbi headed home a corner and the Dutch defender slammed home.
Pedri was closest to Dumfries but did not get in the way. Prompting Ferdinand to be blunt while commentating on สนใจสมัคร? คลิกที่นี่เพื่อเริ่มต้น Sports.
“I have to say, Pedri should have gone in and gotten kicked. I think he jumped away from the ball. Look at him, he didn’t dive, he jumped out of the way. “
You have to go in, even if you risk getting kicked in the head. “You have to suffer some pain for the team,”
said fellow commentator Alli McCoist, who agreed with Ferdinand. Adding that if Pedri had gone in with his head at that moment, the referee could have called a foul on Inter because he had lifted his foot.
“You’re right, because if Pedri had gone in with his head. The ball could have been ruled out for dangerous play,” McCoist said.
