With Iniesta's official retirement, the Barcelona Dream II team, which made all opponents helpless, is now only Pedro left, and continues to play on the green field. Although he is now a 37-year-old player, the Spain striker can still appear in the top five leagues and can still bring goals and assists to the team as the anchor of the current Serie A Lazio team's striker.
So far this season, Pedro has played just 200 minutes for Lazio in all competitions, and the Spain veteran has scored four goals for the Blue Eagles, contributing two goals and two assists, showing great efficiency. Although Pedro is no longer the main force of the team, he contributes as long as he plays, fully demonstrating the value of a veteran.
According to Roma Sport, due to Pedro's excellent performance, Lazio FC are willing to keep him in the team and have offered the Spain veteran a contract that will last until June 2026, and Pedro's contract with Lazio will expire after this season.
As a 37-year-old "old" veteran, Pedro can also get contract extensions from the five major leagues, which fully shows that the Spain striker is really getting older and more demonic, and the older he is, the more powerful he is! Looking back at Pedro's performance at Lazio, although the number of goals scored by the Spain veteran is far from his peak at Barca, Pedro has always contributed key goals at the Blue Eagles. For example, in the last round of Serie A, it was relying on Pedro's quasi-stunner that Lazio defeated Empoli 2-1 at home to get three valuable points, helping the team continue to chase Napoli, Inter Milan and Juventus in the standings.
What's even more commendable is that as a veteran, Pedro has not been plagued by too many injuries since coming to Serie A, and he can still maintain a high attendance rate. In his first three seasons with Lazio, the Spain striker played at least 40 games per season.
The sword is not old, the saber is unsheathed, this is the most popular word used by the media and fans to describe Pedro today. Judging by the 37-year-old's current performance on the pitch, he really deserves praise from the media and fans!!
