Frozen St James Park! Per Squad: Pedridjun passed 190 times, Newcastle passed 205 times

Each body report, England is fascinated by the combination of De Jong and Pedri.

At St James Park, a Twitter account that specializes in the Premier League wrote: "The real Xavi/Iniesta feel is effortless." Scholes wrote on his Instagram: "My new favorite player." Gallish emphasized: "Watching Pedri and De Jong is a treat."

Although Rashford dominated the headlines, it was Pedri who really impressed people. This talented player is relatively unfamiliar to England. At St James Park, he seemed to float on the field, controlling the rhythm of the game as he pleased, while Newcastle players seemed to be able to chase his shadow.

Anthony Gordon was still shocked after the game, saying: "We are not used to facing players who can control the ball. We have played against top teams like Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal, but the way their midfielders pass the ball, the smooth movement and coordination makes it difficult for us to put pressure on. It is very difficult to do this at our home court, especially in such physical confrontation today." Henry compared Pedri to Laudrup after the game, and when asked if he thought Yamal or Rafinia should win the Ballon d'Or, De Jong replied: "What about Pedri?"

Both are the keys to slowing down Newcastle, and at some stages of the game, Newcastle tried to play at the iconic fast pace of the Premier League. De Jong defeated Newcastle's efforts to regain the ball again and again by turning around and dribbling.

Pedri demonstrated a weapon that English football is difficult to crack - pause. The Canary Islands player completed 2 passes and 3 tackles, won 9 confrontations, with a pass accuracy of 91%, and 6 steals. In stoppage time, he managed to hide the ball from the entire Newcastle team.

On the other hand, De Jong made only one mistake in his 86 passes (99% success rate) and had 6 steals. Pedri and De Jong completed 190 passes, while the entire Newcastle team had 205. These figures highlight the dominant performance of Barcelona's double midfielder.

"The way they control the ball was a learning experience. It was the best player of this style I've ever seen," Gordon recalled.

Although not Xavi and Iniesta, the classic "receive and pass" is once again displayed on the land of England.
