In the 6th round of the Premier League this weekend, Chelsea will face Brighton at home. Joao Pedro will play against the old boss, and Brighton coach Hulzer talked about this topic. Chelsea spent €63.7 million this summer to sign the Brazilian striker from Brighton.

Helzer said: "For us, Joao is a very special player. It is not easy to find a completely identical replacement, but we deal with it very well as a team. It always takes a process, new players need to stand up, and potential rookies must seize opportunities. Before each game, they have to prove that they are ready to take on the role, and of course, they also take time.

"Yes, Joao is a very good player, and he has proved that in his first few games at Chelsea. Joao performed well and scored the goal, and his sense of position on the court was also very good. Also, Joao is the kind of player who can change the situation of the game, and we must defend as a team and as a whole. I believe we can do this. ”

Since joining Chelsea, Joao Pedro has played in 9 games for the team, contributing 5 goals and 3 assists.
