Joao Pedro on finishing, James and silverware
“I’m very happy I scored and the team won. I think everyone has a chance to score, not just me the others as well. We gave 100% today and in the end we got three points,” the striker said.
“Like I said to Enzo and Moises, I had a few chances but I scored one and missed two. I gave a pass to Jamie. Sometimes I will score, sometimes I will not. I want to score a lot.
“I will always play for the team. I know I need to score but if my team-mate is in a better position I will pass to him. I think when Moises, Enzo and the team is focused, I think it is difficult to beat us. We need to improve and be like this every game.
JP also had a moment for his captain Reece James, who was drafted into midfield and really put in a strong showing to help his team to a win:
“I think everyone knows how important Reece James is for the team. He’s our leader. He gives us energy. Since I joined Chelsea I always expect to fight for something. I played three games and won a trophy. This is what the fans expect.”
