Joao Pedro Says He Joined Chelsea to Support Cole Palmer Not Compete With Him
Joao Pedro has admitted he was nervous about how Cole Palmer would react to his arrival at Chelsea, fearing the club’s star man might see him as competition.
The Brazilian joined from Brighton earlier this summer and has quickly settled in, playing a big role in Chelsea’s FIFA Club World Cup triumph. But he revealed that on his first meeting with Palmer, he felt the need to clear the air.
“Cole is a superstar,” Pedro said. “When I first came, I was a little worried about how he’d take it, because I was the main guy at Brighton. Chelsea is different, so I went to him and said, ‘I’m here to help you.’ He knows I can help him, and I know he can help me.”
Pedro added that the pair have built a strong connection on the pitch, and he believes their partnership can deliver more trophies for the Blues. Chelsea have started the Premier League season strongly, with two wins and a draw putting them second in the table behind Liverpool.
Head coach of Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone, speaks on team defense and called out a player who needs to toughen up. He shared that Ademola Lookman needs to work on defense.
“Ademola Lookman arrived with great enthusiasm and desire to keep growing. We need him to add defensive work to what he already gives us offensively, because he has that ability,” he then added.
“He’s shown it with the Nigeria national team, and we need him in that role.”
Former football legend Paul Merson states that Mohammad Salah is the greatest winger of all time.
While also praising Bukayo Saka for being the winger in form right now.
When asked in a recent interview, he stated “For the best right now, it’s probably [Bukayo] Saka for his all-around game. I will go Salah, because the numbers he’s put up are ridiculous.”
Former player Paul Merson shares his predictions on this weekend’s Premier League games.
He shared Leeds United vs Manchester City – Prediction: Leeds 1-1 Manchester City.
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace – Prediction: Manchester United 3-0 Crystal Palace.
Arsenal vs Chelsea – Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea.
