http://www.espnstar.com/home/news/detail/item464308/Pedro:-Mistake-really-worried-me/Spain midfielder Pedro has admitted that his moment of selfishness during the 1-0 win over Germany could have cost his side dearly.
The Barcelona man had a wide-open Fernando Torres on his left during the late stages of the game but his refusal to lay the ball to his team-mate and his hesitation on the ball meant he lost procession and a golden opportunity to kill of the game.
Pedro, who was aptly replaced three minutes after the incident, revealed his fear.
"I left the pitch concerned by this move. I'd rather not think what would have happened if we finished the game level. It was a clear chance in which I just trusted in myself a little too much. I made a bad decision to cut back when I should have shot on goal," he said as quoted by Sport.
"To tell the truth, I didn't see Fernando and only had in my mind the goal. If I had, a goal would have happened for sure, but I was a little further behind the ball than I wanted and the defender reacted and pounced on me. It was a big mistake but that means nothing now because the team won."
Looking forward to the final against Netherlands, it was a mix of confidence and cautiousness from the Spaniard.
"For me there are no favourites, but our confidence is sky high. What we are experiencing is massive and above all for us is to win and to be world champions," he concluded.
