Chelsea forward: I know what has helped me score more goals this season

 

PEDRO feels his movement and positioning has seen him benefit in front of goal for Chelsea.

 

The winger had a challenging start to life in England last season following his arrival from Barcelona.

However, under Antonio Conte, the Spain international has established himself as a regular member of the first XI.

His improved form has come as a result of looking to shift into more central areas.

Pedro also feels he has become stronger and adapted fully to the power of the Premier League.

As a result, he has netted six times in 22 top-flight appearances and sits as Chelsea’s third-top scorer.

“I always think about how I can score a goal and help my team, so when I have a chance I try to score, I try to help my team – this is my job,” Pedro told Chelsea’s official magazine.

“I’m playing a lot more on the inside now than I was last seaso

“I am getting on the ball and receiving passes more centrally, and getting in more goalscoring positions as well – obviously my team-mates are helping me to do this.”

Willian, Chelsea’s player of the season last year, has had to wait patiently on the bench with Pedro shining.

A first Premier League title is in sight for the 29-year-old, with his next chance to get on the scoresheet in the top flight next Saturday against Swansea.
