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.
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
