Joao Pedro claimed a long stint in one league helped him adjust to Chelsea, international media reported Tuesday. Pedro joined Chelsea from Brighton & Hove Albion in June for £60m.
He made his 2025 FIFA Club World Cup debut and impressed everyone, scoring both goals in a 2-0 win over his former club Fluminense in the semi-final and helping his team win the final 3-0 over Paris Saint-Germain.
Pedro said in an interview that he kept in touch with Chelsea player Andrey Santos and learned everything he needed to know about the club.
It was fantastic meeting everyone. Miami felt like Brazil, which helped me adjust. I asked Andrey Santos on Instagram about the team and club, and he was very positive. So I’m glad I joined, Pedro said.
“I play technically. Love scoring goals. When I was younger, I played midfield to pass well to my teammates. I’m a good, technical player.”
Joao Pedro stated that moving from a league club makes it simpler to acclimate. Player adaptation is easier after a lengthy time in one league. Pedro said transferring from my former club to Chelsea is easier because it’s the same league, just different guys.
“I think training with my new teammates will be good. Already playing in the league will help me.”
