Buying players with the right attitudes and character is just as important as buying players with quality and in the positions needed.
We need strong mentalities, we need winners, and we need characters who know what it means to be playing for this beautiful club with so much history.
Joao Pedro ticks all of those boxes. He̢۪s been insane on the pitch so far, but he̢۪s also saying all the right things off of it.
Joao Pedro on why he signed for Chelsea:
🗣 “It’s because of the club’s history. Growing up in Brazil, I saw so many people watch football and support Chelsea. I was one of those youngsters. Chelsea had brilliant players in the past and still has great players now. It’s a big club, and that’s why I chose to join.
“When you join Chelsea, there’s only one thing to think about: winning titles. In every tournament you play, you represent Chelsea, and the goal is to win. That is my ambitionâ€"to win titles with Chelsea.
“It was a great moment to meet everyone. Miami felt similar to Brazil, which helped me settle in.
“I’d been talking to Andrey Santos on Instagram, asking about the team, the club, and he said really good things. So, I’m happy to have joined.â€
It̢۪s refreshing to hear him talk this way. He gets it, he gets the culture, you can just tell in his words and how he carries himself.
He will bleed blue in no time and give it all for this badge.
