Pedro has yet again flown under the radar, but he's
been crucial to Chelsea's Premier League charge.
Pedro is a serial winner. He has five La Liga titles, three
Copa del Reys, three Champions Leagues, a European
Championship and a World Cup to his name – and he
does not turn 30 until July.
By that time he will likely have added an English
Premier League title and possibly an FA Cup to his
glittering collection of trophies.
Only a smattering of players have ever come close to
such a haul and, while his achievements are not
unrivalled in modern times thanks to several of his ex-
Barcelona team-mates boasting similar silverware,
Pedro is currently proving to the rest of the footballing
world just how adaptable he is.
The criticism thrown at many Barcelona players down
the years is that they can only play the way they do for
the Catalans and Spain, and that they have never
tested themselves elsewhere.
This logic is of course flawed and a little clumsy, but
there’s no question that building a second career in
another country is a challenge for any footballer, no
matter how talented.
A poor first season at Chelsea saw Pedro take time to
acclimatise. Indifferent form, niggling injuries and a club
once again in turmoil saw the energetic forward soon
linked with a return to Spain.
By the time the 2016-17 season had started, Pedro had
played under three different Chelsea managers in 12
months: Jose Mourinho, Guus Hiddink and Antonio
Conte.
Chelsea have proven to be specialists in high-profile
transfers going wrong and Pedro could have easily
gone the same way as Andriy Shevchenko, Fernando
Torres and Juan Sebastian Veron. Each of those three
also arrived at Stamford Bridge in the peaks of their
respective careers – but all failed to deliver.
