Speaking to Marca, the Spaniard said: “If we win, I let the hairdresser shave me or do something to me. We have a young team that really wants to do well and win. That is reflected on the pitch in every game we play. Instead of going against our youth, I think it’s something that will work for us”

Pedri, who has already played in 14 games for his nation, will be joined in Qatar by his teammate Gavi. When Spain kicks out their World Cup campaign against Costa Rica, he’ll be aiming to showcase his talents on the international stage before they play Germany and Japan in their subsequent group games.
