Maresca hails Pedro after Chelsea reach CWC final
July 10, 2025
|Khaleej Times
Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca hailed Joao Pedro and expressed his delight at reaching the Club World Cup final after the new signing's double strike secured a 2-0 win over Fluminense in the last four on Tuesday.
-
“We are very happy and very proud to be in the final on Sunday because this is the first edition of the Club World Cup and the best clubs in the world are here,” said Maresca.
Joao Pedro was starting for the first time since arriving from Brighton and Hove Albion for a reported £60 million ($79 million) last week, fresh from an off-season break.
The Brazilian made an immediate impact in the game at the MetLife Stadium just outside New York.
He produced two superb finishes, either side of halftime, to take Chelsea through to Sunday’s final against Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid.
“I am very happy for Joao. He has the quality to decide games like today, but also he was on holiday so is probably a bit more fresh compared to the rest,” Maresca said of the 23-year-old.
