Joao Pedro is ready to end the curse of Chelsea striker after an extraordinary debut

Gilabola.com – Joao Pedro only took 60 minutes in his full debut to show that he had everything needed to destroy the curse myth of the Chelsea striker.

The Brazilian striker scored two goals in a convincing 2-0 win over Fluminense in the inter-club world cup semifinals and brought The Blues to the top of the party.

His first goal came in the 18th minute through a deadly curved kick. The appearance confirmed the quality of the players brought in Rp 1.2 trillion from Brighton & Hove Albion.

Although just wearing a blue jersey for the first time, Pedro appeared confident but still humble. He even had time to raise his hand twice to apologize to supporters of Fluminense, his old club.

The combination with Pedro Neto on the left side looks so liquid. Both players performed as if they had played together for years, when in reality only a few days.

In the match, the legend of Fluminense and former Chelsea captain, Thiago Silva, could even watch the back line of his team dismantled by the speed and cohesiveness of the opponent’s attack line.

Enzo Marsca assessed the freedom of playing Pedro as an important aspect of its uniqueness. According to him, this young attacker played lightly, like without a burden that often ensnared the previous Chelsea striker.

Pedro even completed his appearance with a beautiful second goal through a hard kick hitting the crossbar before entering the goal.

However, consistency and maturity will be the next test. Pedro replaced Nicolas Jackson who was frozen from the squad after two successive red cards against Newcastle and Flamengo.

On the other hand, Liam Delap was also absent in the semifinals due to the accumulation of cards, even though he had scored a goal in his second appearance for Chelsea.

Pedro was not without a record. He was once involved in a fight in the Brighton training session with Jan Paul Van Hecke, and received a red card for rude action against Brentford in April. However, for now, all of that is no longer relevant.

Chelsea are in the path to the final, and Pedro has shown that he can be the mainstay of the mainstay for the young Marsca squad that appeared more solid.

If he is able to maintain performance and emotions, it is not impossible that Stamford Bridge finally finds a striker who has been ending and ending the curse of their striker.
