Former Chelsea winger Joe Cole has referred to Joao Pedro as a ‘monster’ after he got here on and scored for Chelsea once more in opposition to Wrexham within the FA Cup on Saturday night time.
For Chelsea this season, Pedro has bought an unbelievable 23 direct aim involvements in all competitions to this point 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 affect 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 an excellent attacking midfielder. I nonetheless suppose that is perhaps his perfect place, however he’s additionally confirmed to be an excellent striker of late as nicely.
‘He’s a monster, he actually is,’ Cole mentioned about Pedro on TNT Sports activities.
‘I feel he’s determined what he’s already doing [for his goal vs Wrexham], he’s enjoying with them, he takes the centre-half over to the left, drags him again, he truly strikes it into the ground, all the things he’s hitting for the time being entering into.
‘He performs that No.9 function, he performs it not like an Erling Haaland the place he’s continually on the shoulder, he’ll drop in and drift in as a result of he’s bought 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…
