Will Chelsea be released after spending Rs 10,000 crore on the Brazilian forward?
‘Vini, Vidi, Vici’ – ‘I came, I saw, I conquered’ in Bengali seems to be the same! Debuting two days after joining the club and leading the team to victory six days later. Pedro’s start could not have been better. Although there has been little discussion in the football world about his move from Brighton to Chelsea, and that is normal.
Will Chelsea be released after spending Rs 10,000 crore on the Brazilian forward?
The 23-year-old Brazilian is one of 19 forwards bought by Chelsea’s American owner Todd Boley. After taking ownership of the club from Roman Abramovich, Chelsea under Boley spent £600 million on attacking players alone. Of this, £55 million (about Tk 910 crore 83 lakh) was spent on Pedro.
Although he was not in the discussion at the beginning after joining Chelsea, it took Pedro only two matches to shine. Despite coming on as a substitute against Palmeiras in the Club World Cup quarter-finals, he could not do much that day. But Pedro emerged as a different person when he got a chance to play in the semi-final last night. Chelsea took the lead with his brilliant goal in the 18th minute. The shot taken from outside the box was not stopped by Fluminense’s 44-year-old goalkeeper Fabio. His second goal of the match was also his. He received the ball from Enzo Fernandez in the opponent’s half and made a single effort to evade two defenders and scored another brilliant goal. In addition to taking Chelsea closer to their second title of the season with these two goals, Pedro also announced his arrival.
