I’m quite close with David Luiz. I speak to him, not about Chelsea but about my career path and how I can get better. He’s helped me a lot.” Pedro revealed Santos, whose
loan spell at Strasbourg ends next season, เล่นบาคาร่า UFABET เว็บตรง ค่าคอมสูง is set to return to the Chelsea first-team next season, meaning he and Pedro are set to reunite.
“I also speak to Andrey on Instagram, asking about the team-mates, the club and he said good things about the team. So it’s good to come here.
“When you go to a club and you know the players, it becomes easier to move.
“I grew up watching the Premier League and Chelsea are a club. That win titles, so when you come to Chelsea you only think about one thing and that’s to win titles. “
You have to think, ‘We play for Chelsea and that’s our ambition’ in every competition. “
They had great players in the past, they have great players now. So it’s a big club, that’s why I chose to come here. “It
’s also easier to come from my old club to Chelsea because it’s still the same league, just with different team-mates. When I start training with them it’s good and the league is easier because I’ve played in this league already. “
I’m very technical, I like to score goals. When I was a kid I also played as a midfielder so I can pass the ball to my team-mates as well.
