Chelsea team-mates commendably facilitate swift beginning for Joao Pedro
João Pedro Shines in Impressive Chelsea Pre-Season
João Pedro has made a sensational start at Chelsea, scoring multiple goals and quickly establishing himself as a key player for the club during the 2025 pre-season. The £60m signing from Brighton made his debut for Chelsea last Monday and has not looked back since[1].
In his first three matches, Pedro scored three goals, including a man-of-the-match performance in the Club World Cup where he scored twice and helped Chelsea win the trophy[1]. He continued his strong pre-season form with a great headed goal against AC Milan, taking his tally to five goals in five games[2][5].
Off the pitch, Pedro has also made an impact, building bonds with his teammates, particularly Liam Delap. This camaraderie has simplified things on the field, allowing for a smooth transition into the squad[2].
Pedro's clinical finishing has addressed Chelsea’s need for a reliable goal scorer, contrasting with Nicolas Jackson’s previous inconsistency in front of goal[2]. His quick adaptation and goal scoring have likely boosted team morale and given Chelsea a new attacking focal point.
However, in Chelsea's Premier League opener against Crystal Palace, Pedro struggled to make an impact, being rated only 4/10, showing some challenges against a stubborn defense and being substituted in the second half[3]. This suggests that while his pre-season and early impact have been excellent, maintaining consistency in competitive league matches will be his next challenge.
Despite the hiccup against Crystal Palace, Pedro's pre-season performance has been outstanding, earning him a place as a vital attacking player for Chelsea. As the Premier League campaign begins in earnest, Pedro will look to translate his pre-season success into regular league games[1][2][3][5].
