João Pedro believes this victory played a significant role in boosting the team's confidence.


João Pedro recognized the crucial importance of Chelsea's 2-0 victory over Brentford. The team fought hard, displaying an impressive spirit and unity, successfully defeating a strong opponent. Although Chelsea created few clear-cut chances, both of their shots on target resulted in goals, ensuring an efficient and hard-fought win. In the first half, Brazilian João Pedro calmly opened the scoring; in the second half, Cole Palmer sealed the victory with a penalty.  

 

João Pedro recognized the difficulty of the match and was delighted to have helped his team secure their first Premier League victory since December, especially in the crucial game against Brentford. Brentford have already demonstrated their strength this season by defeating top teams such as Manchester City, Manchester United, and Aston Villa.  

 

The player admitted that the victory would greatly boost the team's confidence for the upcoming important Champions League match. João Pedro said: "It was a very difficult match, the opponent was very strong. Although the team's performance was not perfect, we ultimately won the game, kept a clean sheet, and got three valuable points. Most importantly, this victory will strengthen our confidence for the crucial Champions League match next week."  

 

"When playing at home, we must show our strength and maintain the same proactive attitude as today. A victory will boost the team's confidence because we still have a chance to compete for the title and hope to get as close to the top as possible. This victory is especially important because our opponents have performed very well this season. Even though they lost to us before, we still have a chance to compete for the title."  

 

João Pedro scored a crucial goal in the first 30 minutes of the match, which he believed was perfectly timed and helped the team stabilize the situation. He said, "We needed this goal, and I hope to score in more games. It's very important for the team and for me personally, but we still have room for improvement."  

 

“As we all know, Brentford's defense is very tough, so we tried to break through their defense through teamwork, and they also implemented a high press. However, I think we had the advantage in the first and second balls, which was the key reason for today's victory.”  

 

João Pedro made three steals during the match, stating that it was a tactical requirement from head coach Liam Rossellini, and he was happy to take on the defensive duties. He added, "The coach assigned me to do this, and I did my best to fulfill it. It was challenging, but I always hope to contribute to the team through running and hard work."  

 

“He continued to contribute to the team’s goals. I think the players supported each other and screened for each other on the court, trying to prevent the opponent from creating offensive threats. It was a tough game, but winning three points was crucial in the end.”
