A little embarrassing! Chelsea s new aid scored 0 in the sports game. He played at No. 9 and lacked support from his teammates

This summer, Chelsea's most important signing and the most successful signing were to sign Joao Pedro from Brighton. His start at Chelsea was perfect, and he showed extremely high efficiency in the Club World Cup from the moment he joined. He is fierce, has strong physical confrontation, and is also skilled and has good tandem cooperation and ending ability. He can play at No. 9 and No. 10.

This season, Joao Pedro has scored two Premier League goals, but unfortunately they are all corner kicks. Looking further, while it is a good thing to have a player who can score in a corner, the team cannot rely solely on his contribution to set pieces. Joao Pedro needs to get the ball in a more dangerous position to make a real impact.

When he plays No. 9, he often appears isolated and helpless. And with Drapp injured and Mark Gyu not trusted, he can only continue to play this role in the short term. It's time for Joao Pedro to score his first sports goal. Judging from his penalty area touch data in the league, if it is at the current pace, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a while.

In the last 5 games, Joao Pedro touched the ball in the opponent's penalty area only 6 times, and appeared in the strong dialogue between the Champions League and Bayern. In Premier League matches with Crystal Palace, West Ham United and Brentford, he appeared in the opponent's penalty area and won the ball in four times. Of course, a top forward can change the game with just a few touches – even a single touch is enough to score. But at present, Chelsea's offensive system obviously does not provide the Brazilian with enough "ammunition" to score goals that helped the team secure the victory.

Enzo Maresca must find a way to get the team to send the ball to the dangerous area of ​​the former Brighton player in the absence of Cole Palmer. Estewan and Alejandro Garnacho are being arranged for more appearances, hoping they can do better than Jamie Gittens and Pedro Neto. In the match against Manchester United tonight, Joao Pedro may have his first goal in his sports game.
