At a fan meet-and-greet in Shanghai, the Spanish international interacted warmly with the host and fans, sharing his feelings about the trip, reminiscing about his childhood football experiences, the World Cup victory, and reiterating his previous promise to dye his hair after winning the title.
Speaking about his experience playing for the Great Wall, Pedri said it was a very special experience.
“The Great Wall is a place I really love, and I had a very happy time there. Visiting the Great Wall has always been my dream, because I used to see it often in documentaries and other social media.”
"It feels amazing and makes me very happy to be able to actually come here and play football on the Great Wall, combining two things I love."
Recalling his feelings when he walked onto the stadium on the day of the World Cup final, Pedri said that his biggest wish at the time was to help the team win the game.
"Most importantly, I really want to play in this final. I want to get on the pitch and do my best to help the team win."
"In the end, we did it. I wanted to contribute to the team, and luckily, we brought the championship trophy home."
Finally, Pedri reiterated his earlier promise to dye his hair, which had garnered significant attention. He stated that he would not break his word.
"Yes, I must keep this promise."
"I'll get my hair dyed when I get back to my home in Tenerife and before heading to Barcelona for the preseason. You'll all see me with dyed hair very soon."
