Since joining Chelsea last summer, Joao Pedro has become a key player in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans for the World Cup.
Brazil’s manager, Ancelotti, is watching the Brazilian players at Stamford Bridge closely as the 2026 World Cup approaches. Andrey Santos and Estevao Willian are also having strong seasons.
Estevao has secured his position in the squad and is expected to play an important role in the attack in the upcoming tournament. Meanwhile, Santos aims to earn a spot in the midfield.
In the past year, Pedro has scored against teams like Brentford, Wolves, and Aston Villa, and has performed well in matches against Manchester City and Arsenal. He has adapted well to Enzo Maresca’s strategy, showing skill in knowing when to play deeper or make runs into the box.
His impressive form has caught attention back in Brazil. A tweet from Brazilian Football stated, “Brazil loves him” after one of his goals this season.
