A biography for Pedrohasn’t been written yet.
“I think it is always difficult for every manager, when you arrive with good motivation and ambition. It's not just in the Chelsea dressing-room. For all coaches, it's difficult.”
“I left Barcelona because I was brave. Neymar arrived and I played less. These things happen in football.”
“For me it is good to win, to win the Premier League is a dream for me.”
“I'm very happy to be at Chelsea because it's a club that, like Barca, are fighting for titles.”
“I try not to have nerves. You have to be cold-blooded. You have to think, to look at the goalkeeper: how is he positioned? You study them, you know about them, even if there isn't always time, even if it's sometimes intuition. You look to see where he is.”
“How can you not score goals in Barca! While defenders have trouble dealing with Messi, Villa and Bojan, they forgot about me.”
“The Premier League, for me, is the best league in the world. It has the best competitiveness.”
“I don't train to be on the bench.”
“It's Leo Messi. It's very difficult to stop this guy because he's very quick, very clever. But, look, it's not impossible.”
“The important thing is hard work and that the team is winning.”
“I had 11 or 12 years in Barcelona, my family is there and also many friends. The fans loved me, I felt highly valued throughout the club and it is always hard to leave the club of your dreams.”
“I will always be thankful to Guardiola.”
“In 2007, Barca B were demoted from the Tercera to the Cuarta Division and I was among the players who wanted to leave. Then Guardiola arrived and he wanted to play with wingers that were spread out across the pitch and he gave me an opportunity.”
“Leo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Eden. Every year, you look at their numbers - score goals, assists, minutes - to see they play very well.”
“I prefer not to return to the Camp Nou wearing another shirt. It would be strange. But if that's what destiny holds.”
“Messi is a player with great ambition.”
“It is always good to play your part and help the team with goals whenever possible.”
“Of course I miss Barca. I had many years there, I felt very loved on the street.”
“Cesc is a great player, one of the best midfielders and he creates chances. For a forward, he is a great player to have.”
