Former Chelsea winger Joe Cole has referred to Joao Pedro as a ‘monster’ after he got here on and scored for Chelsea once more towards Wrexham within the FA Cup on Saturday evening.
For Chelsea this season, Pedro has acquired an unbelievable 23 direct aim involvements in all competitions thus far this season.
That’s unbelievable, and a lot greater than any Chelsea fan would have anticipated when he joined the membership.
I believed he was a good signing on the time, however I by no means anticipated him to have the unbelievable influence he has had, and currently, he’s reaching some prime prime ranges.
Pedro is a participant who likes to get on the ball and drops in, which is why he’s additionally a very good attacking midfielder. I nonetheless suppose that could be his absolute best place, however he’s additionally confirmed to be an excellent striker of late as properly.
‘He’s a monster, he actually is,’ Cole stated about Pedro on TNT Sports activities.
‘I believe he’s determined what he’s already doing [for his goal vs Wrexham], he’s taking part in with them, he takes the centre-half over to the left, drags him again, he really strikes it into the ground, all the things he’s hitting for the time being stepping into.
‘He performs that No.9 position, he performs it not like an Erling Haaland the place he’s continuously on the shoulder, he’ll drop in and drift in as a result of he’s acquired high quality.’
The defending right here was horrible, however Pedro had one factor in his thoughts, and I like this confidence and directness about him…
He deserves his flowers…
