João Pedro Explains Why He Is in Form Under Xabi Alonso

Chelsea forward João Pedro has opened up about the reasons behind his impressive start to the season under new manager Xabi Alonso.

The Brazilian has quickly established himself as an important figure in Alonso’s attacking system, producing goals and assists while showing greater confidence in the final third. According to João Pedro, the freedom he has been given by Alonso has played a major role in his improved performances.

He said,

"Everyone wants to score, and Xabi (Alonso) tells us always, it doesn't matter what happens, you just need to be focused and be connected to the game and you're going to score. That's why we score many goals this season from the beginning, because I think in the front three you can create a lot. And if you create a lot, you’re going to score a lot of goals as well."

The forward has been able to operate in more advanced areas and make the most of his movement, positioning and attacking instincts. This tactical freedom has helped him become a consistent threat in front of goal.

The 24-year-old has also developed a strong understanding with Chelsea’s attacking players, particularly Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers. João Pedro believes their relationship and chemistry have made it easier for them to combine effectively during matches.

Pedro’s form has already earned him recognition, with the Chelsea forward making a significant impact during the opening weeks of the Premier League campaign. His performances have also increased expectations surrounding what he can achieve under Alonso as Chelsea look to compete for major honours this season.

With João Pedro looking increasingly comfortable in Alonso’s system, Chelsea supporters will be hoping his current form continues throughout the campaign. If he can maintain his consistency in front of goal, he could become one of the key players in Alonso’s plans at Stamford Bridge.
