Pedri talking to various Asian media outlets recently:
You are one of the most eye-catching midfielders among the young generation, and you are now taking on more tasks in the club and national team. How do you ensure your playing status and efficiency in frequent matches? Which goal are you most eager to achieve for yourself in 2024?
"Personally, I want to win the championship in the two competitions we are still participating in, namely La Liga and the Champions League. In order to achieve this goal, we train hard every day."
Which Asian players have you come into contact with during your youth training and career? Which Asian player impressed you most in the game? What stories do you have with him? What are your impressions of China and Chinese football?
"Kubo. He performs very well in La Liga and has also trained with Barcelona before. I think he is a very skilled player. I still have his jersey at home. I think the game in China is a game that is still growing, there are a lot of very good players, and I believe it will get better and better in the years to come."
Previously, Xavi announced his resignation after the season. How would you evaluate him as a coach and club legend?
"Whether as a coach or as a legendary player of the club, Xavi is an idol and a role model for all of us. In the two years he coached, our team has changed a lot. Last year we won the championship together La Liga champions, we will also strive to do our best for the rest of the season."
What goals will you and the team have for the rest of the season?
"In the league, I hope to play as many games as possible because we still retain the hope of competing for the title; in the Champions League, we will do our best to win the next knockout round and strive to go further."
You played in the Champions League knockout round for the first time this season and provided an assist. How do you feel? In your opinion, is the competition in the knockout stages of the Champions League much more intense than the competitions you have participated in before?
"Yes, in the knockout stage we are now in, the pace of the game is much faster. Compared with the group stage, there is of course a big difference. Of course, I am very happy to be able to play in this game, and I am also very satisfied to be able to send this assist to help the team."
The emergence of Lamine this season shocked everyone, and you have already played in the professional league at Lamine's current age. What advice would you give to Lamine?
"First of all, I advise him to stay calm. It is a great thing to be able to participate in the professional league at this age. He is already an excellent professional football player. It doesn't matter if he doesn't perform well sometimes, as long as he continues to train hard. I will provide him with all the help he needs. He just needs to face everything calmly and enjoy football."
Xavi will no longer be Barcelona's coach after this season. We know that you have a very good relationship with him. Can you tell us what help Xavi gave you during his coaching period?
"Xavi gave me a lot of help as a coach, and as a legendary player of the club, especially playing in the same midfield position as me, he gave me a lot of advice on organizing the team's attacks. Overall I learned a lot from him, his experience and his guidance."
When you were 18 years old, you played 73 official games in one season. Many people marvelled at your physical strength, but did you also feel tired? Do you think players today are overloaded with matches?
"After playing so many games in a year, of course, I felt tired, but during that time, I was always just excited to play. This was also the first time I had the opportunity to represent the club and the national team in so many important games. Now I consider this a very valuable and unforgettable experience. I agree that there are a lot of games now and players are under a lot of physical pressure, but at the same time we will make more preparations for this and do everything possible to maximize our physical condition."
Laporta recently mentioned in an interview that Barcelona will continue to fight for the league and Champions League this season, and everything is possible. Do you agree with this statement, or from a practical and technical perspective, which goal do you think has greater certainty?
"I think we still have the possibility of competing for the title in both competitions. La Liga, relatively speaking, is more difficult, but at the same time, it is also longer and has more games, so anything can happen. Of course, I agree with what the president has said. We are still competitive in these games and we will do our best to fight for these two championships in the rest of the season."
As more and more outstanding young players join the first team, as one of the representatives, do you think this youth team can lead Barcelona back to the top in the future?
"That's right, we are a group of very young players, whether they are young players who have joined the team or young players training at La Masia, I can see a bright future in them, so I very much believe that with our help, the team can return to the top and perhaps even created a more beautiful future than ever before."
Did you encounter any difficulties when you first joined Barcelona, such as adapting to the team? Adapting to a new environment?
"To be honest, the first division is much more intense and faster-paced than the second division, and the opponents’ skills are much better. I was lucky enough not to encounter any difficulties when I first joined the team. The atmosphere in the locker room was very good. My teammates, everyone at the club, especially the captains, have given me a lot of help and I am very grateful to them."
Do you feel that you are already a mature player on the court, such as your playing style, decisions you make, etc.?
"I am still very young, and although I already gained a lot of experience in various games, including making changes and making decisions during the game, I feel that I still have a long way to go. There's a lot to learn and I think I will eventually become a really mature player after many more years at the club."
What advice do you have for children who like playing football?
"If I give advice to children who like football, my biggest advice is to enjoy football and play this sport with your friends. Don’t care about the results, don’t care about the level, don’t care about whether you can become a professional player in the future. Just enjoy it and be happy."
Barcelona's young players like Lamine, Cubarsi, Roque and others have gradually become important members of the team. Although you are still very young, you have become a senior for them. What will you do to lead or take care of these young players?
"I will do everything I can to help them, support them in everything they do, and make them feel comfortable in this team. When they need any advice, have any questions or want to know something, they can come and ask me. I want the whole locker room to be like a big family. When they need my help, I will do my best to help them."
In recent games, coach Xavi assigned you as a left winger. What is the reason for this? How is it different from playing in midfield?
"The team now has a lot of midfielders, and as a player who can run a lot, I can create spaces in attack for the team. Being a left-winger is, of course, very different from playing in midfield, but I think this position is also very interesting. I can have a lot of touches to create offensive opportunities for the team."
You have suffered from constant muscle injuries in the past two seasons. How do you deal with injuries and what kind of adjustments have you made?
"Injuries are the worst part of football. I dealt with a lot of pain, and in order to reduce that trouble, I did a lot of activities to reduce that. I took up Pilates training, and increased the frequency of going to the gym to adjust and to avoid repeated injuries."
What do you think are the problems with the team this season compared to last season's La Liga championship?
"I think the biggest problem the team encounters is on the defensive end. We still score a lot of goals this season and have a similar offensive level as last year, but we lost more points due to defensive problems. Regarding Xavi leaving the team, this is his personal choice and we will do our best with him during the rest of the season."
Last season we saw that you had more opportunities to get into the penalty area and attack the goal directly, but this season it seems to be less and less. Is it a tactical role change? From a personal perspective, which style of play do you prefer?
"It is true that I don’t have many opportunities to enter the penalty area and shoot directly this season, but I am also trying to find other ways to help the team score goals. For example, provide some key assist opportunities and find other ways to play the ball. From a personal point of view, I like both playing styles. I have been looking for ways to optimize the team's attack in various positions."

So How To Get Your Favorite Gymnast to the Olympics... a primer
Now that we have the last of the 2023 Worlds Qualification events over it's time to go through what comes next... how do they get to the Olympics?
2022 Worlds - The top three teams from the team final earned a trip to Paris - USA, GBR, CAN.
2023 Worlds - The next 9 teams in team qualification (excluding the three from 1) go to Paris
2023 Worlds - Teams 13-15 in team qualification earn 1 non-nominative spot at Paris. That is a spot that the federation can assign however they wish and it counts against the 3 maximum that a country can send to the Olympics if they did not qualify a team.
2023 Worlds - 14 gymnasts with the top AA scores not any country that qualified a team in points 1 and 2, 1 per country get a nominative spot to the Olympics. That is it's for them by name and if they end up not going to the Olympics it goes to the next person in line their country can no reassign them. If France qualifies a team (which is likely unless the French federation manages to destroy itself between now and October) then this number goes up to 15 because they get an automatic slot as host country for 1 individual.
2023 Worlds - The highest ranked gymnast from each apparatus final that is not from a country that qualified a team in points 1 or 2, and did not qualify in the AA QF described in point 4 gets a nominative spot. If there are no gymnasts in the final that fit that criteria they go the apparatus qualification list.
2023 Pan American Games/2024 European Championships/2024 Asian Championships/2024 African Championships/2024 Oceania Championships - The top AA gymnast from qualification who is not from a team that qualified in point 1 or 2, and who did not qualify individually at Worlds.
2024 World Cups - Two gymnasts per Apparatus based on points from the 4 events in Feb-April 2024. Each apparatus is 1 per country so one country can not take both uneven bars slots but they could take 1 slot from three different apparatus.
Things to know... the order matters. If you have qualified in one of the earlier numbered steps you don't count in the later ones. So if say Kovacs Zsofia qualifies in the AA and is in the bars final at 2023 Worlds it's the AA slot that she takes not the bars one. If a country qualifies three people through 2023 Worlds then the later qualification steps wont be open to them because they've already gotten their three.
So what does that mean for your favs?
If we project the results from 2022 Worlds and use them as a guide for 2023 Worlds the teams would be USA, CHN, GBR, FRA, CAN, NED, BRA, AUS, ITA, BEL, JPN, GER. That doesn't mean these will be the qualifiers (other than the USA, GBR, and CAN who are already qualified) but they're who you expect to be likely.
The three countries that would have taken the 13-15 slots were KOR, MEX, and HUN. I think those are going to be your likely spoilers.
Now let's move to some darlings from small feds (or former Americans in new hats in some cases). Oksana Chusovitina is currently only qualified to worlds on vault and uneven bars so those are the only events she can participate on. So you say, she's got a good chance of getting the vault spot from worlds.
Well... no I don't think she's the odds on favorite. YEO Seojeong (KOR) would have taken that spot if it was awarded based on last year's worlds. Now KOR is sitting in that spoiler spot as a team so maybe they make the Olympics as a team and then she's off the table. Yeo has also done the AA in the past but she's not Korea's best AAer on paper so I would expect one of her team mates to qualify through the AA.
Chuso's best path to her 9th Olympics is likely the 2024 World Cup series but there are a number of small fed vault specialists who will be very competitive with her and I doubt we'll have any real sense what her chances are until we see who qualifies at Worlds. For instance RASMUSSEN Camille (DEN) could beat Chuso in that series but she could also qualify through the AA at Worlds and be out of that pool. And who knows if the Russians will be battling out in that World Cup pool.
Similarly I think NEMOUR Kaylia (ALG) is the most likely person to take a bars qualification out of Worlds but she also could qualify in the AA and unlike Yeo she doesn't have team mates who may qualify above her. Nemour also has a clear advantage if she's still looking to qualify at the 2024 African Championships. I think that provided she stays healthy she is a safe bet to make it to Paris.
I think floor and beam are pretty up in the air.
So now we get to the messy questions about former Americans now competing for other countries. If you map this qualification process onto 2022 worlds the AA score of the last qualifier for Paris would be 48.866. I expect that to be slightly higher at 2023 Worlds because there were a number of AAers who didn't do the AA at 2022 Worlds who will have incentives to do so here. I expect the cut off to be somewhere between 50-51.
Here are what some other names to note got at their continental championships this year in the AA.
ESCALERA Natalia (MEX) - 53.266. She will likely qualify through the AA at Worlds.
MORENO Alexa (MEX) - 51.600. Moreno has competition for the best potential AA score on the Mexican team (see Escalera) but if the fields repeated themselves at the Pan American Games she would be in the position to be the AA qualifier for the Pan American Union. If she doesn't well she goes into the thunder dome that is the 2024 Apparatus World Cup.
IRFANALUTHFI Rifda (INA) - 51.298. An AA score that I think should be in the right range to qualify, from a small fed with no competing team mates. I think if she repeats her performance from Asian champs at Worlds she has a good shot. Similarly assuming China qualifies a team and Korea qualifies 3 gymnasts through 2023 Worlds (both likely) then she's at the moment the most likely individual qualifier out of the 2024 Asian championships if she doesn't qualify at Worlds. But there is a big if. She got an 9.833 beam score at Worlds last year....
ROOSKRANTZ Caitlin (RSA) - 50.632. She came in second to Nemour at African champs, so assuming that Nemour will likely qualify in some way at Worlds then Roozkrantz has a good shot at qualifying through 2024 African champs if she doesn't do so at Worlds.
FINNEGAN Aleah (PHI) - 50.399. She should qualify at worlds, especially if she manages not to fall twice on bars like she did at Asian champs. I honestly think a lot will depend on what rotation she has to go to bars because I suspect a lot of the issues the Philippines had at Asian champs related to going to bars in the 4th rotation. If she doesn't qualify at Worlds she has a decent shot at the 2024 Asian Champs but I honestly expect her to get this done at Worlds.
BARROS Sydney (PUR) - 50.234. She also falls in the sweet spot of maybe she qualifies at Worlds maybe she just misses. She'll get a second shot at Pan Am Games a month later if she misses out.
ABDELSALAM Jana (EGY) - 49.832. She came in third at African Champs but we start getting in the iffy range for scores to qualify and there are on paper better AAers in her continental union.
DARIES Naveen (RSA) - 49.533. A repeat of what I said about Abdelsalam. She's in the cut off range but she has the disadvantage of being the likely second South African AAer so her best chance is if Nemour and Rooskrantz qualify at Worlds and then she has a good shot to fight out that 2024 African champs slot.
KVAMME Kylee Ann (PHI) - 48.765. She's not qualifying at worlds because even if she falls in the right range (and her score doesn't suggest she will) then Finnegan will 1 per country her out of the pool. She also has no chance of qualifying at 2024 Asian Champs as there are many Asian gymnasts from small feds that are better AAers. Yes she fell on bars but she just does not have the difficulty to be competitive.
BROWN Lynnzee (HAI) - 48.100. I'm going to be honest... she's going to have a tough road. She needs more difficulty to be in contention at Worlds or at the PAG. There are a number of small fed AAers in the Pan American union who scored higher than her at Pan Am Champs.
ELSADEK Sandra (EGY) - 46.699. She has no chance of qualifying for the Olympics. I hope she enjoys her Worlds experience.
MALABUYO Emma Lauren (PHI). She didn't do the AA at Asian champs so can't go to worlds but I've seen people ask about her. Her path to the Olympics is limited. She can win the AA at Asian Champs... but when was the last time she did the AA? She can also get a spot at the 2024 World Cups and I actually think she could increase the difficulty on her floor to be an outside shot there. The problem is ... will the Philippines pay to send her (and the judge) to those world cups. And will she want to miss 6 weeks of the NCAA season to do so?
If I was to take a stab in the dark I suspect that Korea, Hungary, and Mexico will all have 3 gymnasts at the Olympics and that Romania will have at least 2. But in what configurations I don't know.

AMBER LIU REUNITES WITH JACKSON WANG AND YULTRON FOR NEW SINGLE “HARDER” AND ANNOUNCES “NO MORE SAD SONGS” WORLD TOUR
Multi-talented artist Amber Liu is back with a pleasantly familiar sound. Returning to her 2022 EP trilogy, bridged from a series of tracks guaranteed to fit everyone’s taste, Amber’s goal this time around is to satisfy any fans she may have missed. Released as the title track of “Z!”, “EASIER,” featuring international sensation Jackson Wang, takes on a new identity with the help of electronic artist YULTRON with HARDER (feat. Jackson Wang and YULTRON) that is now available on all streaming platforms.
No stranger to collabs, Amber has worked with Peniel of BTOB, MaSiWei of Higher Brothers, Jackson Wang, and DJ YULTRON for her own single. After releasing the successful EP trilogy series “X”, “y?” and “Z!,” Amber has taken a step back in time to revisit her hit track “EASIER.” The R&B mixed with rock single features Amber’s laid back raps, Jackson’s husky vocals, and harmonies that brilliantly showcase the pair's excellent musical compatibility. YULTRON’s danceable electronic addition to the tune blows it out of the water and reshapes the already addicting single.

Originally adorning R&B, soul, and rock influences, “EASIER” followed a heartfelt dialogue between Amber and Jackson as they sang about pushing for something meaningful, even if it might not be the easier thing to do. YULTRON, with his background in classical music and guitar, fully understood this initial, earnest plot of the story, and was able to fully transform it into an electronic track while keeping its core message still intact. Now, with the added future bass sound and synth embellishments, “HARDER” dons a new wardrobe as one of the hardest, electronic dance beats to grace this summer.
In 2014, Jackson Wang debuted as a member of JYP entertainment’s K-pop group GOT7 in Korea. In 2017, he founded TEAM WANG then in 2021, he left JYP entertainment coming back to TEAM WANG in China to start releasing his solo music. Most recently, Jackson headlined the League Of Legends 2022 Worlds Championship Opening Ceremony with a performance of his latest single, “Fire to the Fuse,” a Riot Games Music written track that peaked at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Trending Song Chart. Jackson has collaborated with multiple global brands over the years. As a globally acclaimed artist, Jackson’s goal is to showcase a Chinese-influenced sound on the international music stage and highlight Chinese and Asian culture worldwide. In his ascent, Jackson has amassed over 93 million followers across socials.
Los Angeles-based DJ/Producer, YULTRON has established himself as a prominent figure in the music industry. With a dynamic range of collaborations spanning various genres, he has worked alongside esteemed artists such as Marshmello, Ookay, Kayzo, Jay Park, Snoop Dogg, Rezz, Kellin Quinn, DJ Snake, Zeds Dead, Illenium, and even a previous single with Amber Liu. With an unwavering passion for music and an unyielding drive to push boundaries, YULTRON continues to captivate audiences and make a lasting impact on the music industry. His electrifying performances have graced renowned festivals including Lollapalooza, EDC Vegas, Hard Summer, Countdown, and others.
This summer is all about Amber Liu. Starting in May, she released various singles including “ILY,” “No More Sad Songs,” and “Can’t Go Yet.” This year is all about being your authentic self and revealing who you are through your art. In the midst of all the news on Amber, she will be going on tour in the beginning of 2024 for No More Sad Songs visiting 9 cities across Canada, United States and London.

Socceroos coach Graham Arnold backs former charges Central Coast Mariners to win 2024 A-League championship and treble despite Victory coachs prowess
In short: Socceroos coach Graham Arnold is backing his old side Central Coast to complete an historic treble by winning this Saturday’s 2023/24 A-League men’s final over Melbourne Victory.But Arnold also wouldn’t be surprised if Victory get up, given coach Tony Popovic is hungry to win his first championship in his fifth attempt, at his third A-League club.What’s next: The match kicks off in Gosford at 7:45pm AEST on Saturday.
Socceroos boss Graham Arnold is backing the Central Coast Mariners to snatch a historic treble, even if he believes the time has come for Tony Popovic to taste A-League Men glory.
Arnold will be a keen observer of Saturday’s grand final between the Mariners and Popovic’s Melbourne Victory side, given the Socceroos manager is close to naming his Australia squad for next month’s World Cup qualifiers against Palestine and Bangladesh.
Mariners duo Josh Nisbet and Jacob Farrell are expected to be in the frame for June’s matches, while Victory pair Bruno Fornaroli and Daniel Arzani will also be pushing for selection.

Before taking the national team role in 2018, Arnold was part of — and coached against — some of the greatest teams of the A-League era.
Among those were his own Mariners and Sydney FC sides, but also Ange Postecoglou’s Brisbane Roar outfits of the early 2010s.
If the Mariners add a championship to their premiership and AFC Cup crown, they would become the first Australian club to have a treble that boasts Asian silverware, an achievement Arnold labelled “incredible”.
“I loved my time at the Mariners and Sydney FC,” Arnold said.
“You can see they (the Mariners) have the strategy we had when I was there, give kids the opportunity to develop around some great leaders.
“(Goalkeeper) Danny Vukovic has been incredible, I truly believe he is a significant reason that the Mariners have done so well over the last two years is because of his leadership skills.
“I think they can (win the grand final), they’re going to have a great crowd behind them.”
But Arnold issued a word of caution, pointing to one of his old sparring partners in Popovic as the reason why the Mariners’ fairytale may not have a happy ending.
Now at his third ALM club, Popovic failed to win four grand finals across stints at Western Sydney Wanderers and Perth Glory.
And after watching the Mariners scrape past Sydney last week, Arnold concedes Central Coast’s successful continental run may have started to catch up with them.
“Melbourne Victory are going to be a real tough opponent and I think that, in a way, it’s Tony Popovic’s time to win a grand final,” Arnold said.
“He’s got a lot of players with a lot of experience that have been out there and done it before compared to the Mariners, where they have got a number of kids.
“A lot of it will be on how the Mariners deal with the week, and I felt they looked a little bit fatigued on the weekend.
“I think it will be how the Mariners deal with this week, more than the game, which will tell if they win it or not.”

What this means for Olympic qualification: The Russians even if they are allowed to compete as neutral individuals will miss the bulk of Olympic qualification chances.
Assuming they are allowed to qualify they will be limited to 3 athletes who must qualify from a combination of the 2024 Apparatus World Cup Series where there will be 8 spots awarded (2 per Apparatus) but each apparatus can only qualify 1 athlete per country. So they could qualify 1 person on beam and one on bars but not both uneven bars specialist spots.
They could get a third athlete from the continental championships in 2024 (either Europe or if they are moved into the Asian federation).
I don't know Rhythmic as well but my understanding is that they would only be able to qualify a single athlete in Rhythmic gymanstics as well.

Why Did Gymnast Gabby Douglas Retire?
"I love gymnastics and love pushing myself. I never wanted to walk away on a bad day."
Source: Getty ImagesMany of us remember the 2012 Olympic gymnastics team that inspired a nation. The incredible athletes who made up the group included Gabby Douglas, Jordyn Wieber, McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman, and Kyla Ross.Article continues below advertisementArticle continues below advertisementOf course, Gabby became the all-around gymnastics champion that year.Then, we were treated to her magic yet again at the 2016 games. But since that time, we haven't seen Gabby competing, leading fans to think she retired from the sport. But did she? Here's an update on where Gabby Douglas stands today with her gymnastics career.Source: Getty ImagesArticle continues below advertisement
So, did Gabby Douglas actually retire from gymnastics?
It seems that the gold medalist never actually left gymnastics in her rear view mirror, despite what we may have assumed.“I never announced a retirement,” Gabby said in February 2024. “I didn’t want to end this sport like I did in 2016. I wanted to take a step back and work on myself and my mental state.”The 28-year-old added, "I love gymnastics and love pushing myself. I never wanted to walk away on a bad day."And walk away she sure didn't! In fact, Gabby is headed for a comeback. Yes, we're pumped, too!Article continues below advertisement
Gabby Douglas may compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Although nothing is definite at time of writing, according to Gabby, she is focused on getting to Paris this summer to compete again on the world stage.Article continues below advertisementGabby is well on her way. She qualified for the U.S. Gymnastics Championships and will compete there in May. The next step would be the Olympic Trials in June, per Women's Health.The athlete updated fans about her progress via her Instagram, sharing a video of a vault routine that looked pretty flawless to us — but Gabby was hard on herself in the caption.Article continues below advertisementShe wrote, "Eight years later…. well guys… it wasn’t my best showing this weekend but was so happy and grateful to be back out there on the floor doing what I love again."Gabby continued the post by writing, "With anything there are always kinks to work out, get better, and improve. I’ve never been more excited to get back into the gym and work even harder."Gabby finished her post by gushing, "Forever grateful for all of your love and support. It means the world. I love you guys and I’ll see you in Hartford. Hard days are the best because that’s when champions are made."Article continues below advertisement
Gabby Douglas would not be the oldest gymnast to compete in the Olympics.
Gabby may be on the older side for gymnasts at the Olympics, but she is far from the most mature athlete who may attend.Believe it or not, 47-year-old gymnast Oksana Chusovitina from Uzebekistan is making a run for her ninth games in Paris.Article continues below advertisement"I thought about it well and decided that after the Asian Games , I would also prepare for the Paris 2024 Olympics," she said about potentially competing against the likes of Gabby Douglas.Meanwhile, Simone Biles is also set to compete in Paris after taking a break from the sport.We wish all of these athletes the best of luck and can promise we'll be watching!
