Xabi Alonso, Chelsea’s manager, expressed no doubts when comparing his star striker Joao Pedro with the world’s top number 9, Erling Haaland. During a recent press conference, Alonso confidently stated that he would rate Joao Pedro alongside Haaland at the very top tier of strikers. “If you count how many top strikers we have in the Premier League, I’m sure that Joao is there, Haaland for sure is there.
So I would rate him that way,” Alonso said. Both players bring different strengths to the game; Haaland is known for his ruthless efficiency and physical prowess, while Joao Pedro excels in ball control and playmaking. Alonso praised Joao Pedro’s on-field performance and personal attributes, noting his maturity, desire, and strong goal-scoring potential.
The Brazilian striker’s nomination for Player of the Month is just one example of his impressive form this season.
