Barcelona midfielder Pedri feels creativity is being pushed out of football.
Pedri, however, says he enjoys the game of Barca.
"Recently, I think there has been a turn towards the player who runs more than the player who is technical, who understands the game," said Pedri.
"Football is becoming more robotic but there are still those who break that rule.
"I still play to enjoy myself. I always do and that's the best thing a footballer can do. If you're enjoying it, you're going to play much better."
On playing for Xavi, he also told the Guardian: "I would try to play my game wherever I was, but it's true that I would suffer more elsewhere.
"Some clubs are satisfied with winning, however they do it. Barcelona want to win but to do it playing the ball, creating chances, with this idea. I like this football more.
"Xavi has a very clear idea, model. He is very clear about what each of us have to do.
"The inside midfielders have to be between the lines, the ball moved from one side to the other. The things he did when he played - and it was spectacular watching him - he tries to inculcate in us.
"The interiors have to hold our position. If you get out of position, then when you lose the ball you can't press the way you need to: you won't get there. He also wants the interiors to turn, face the opposition goal."
