“Chelsea” team's head coach Enzo Mareska spoke about how he connected with Roberto de Zerbi before the transfer of striker Joao Pedro. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The London club purchased the Brazilian footballer from “Brighton.” While playing for the “Seagulls,” the striker was under de Zerbi's management, but he moved to “Marseille” last year.
Mareska admitted that he spoke with his compatriot over the phone before Joao Pedro joined the team. In an interview with journalist Ben Jacobs, he emphasized that he had all the information about Joao Pedro, considered him a true Brazilian footballer, and noted that he plays the game with joy.
Mareska also mentioned that he discussed this player with his friend Roberto de Zerbi. On Tuesday, Joao Pedro scored two goals, helping “Chelsea” secure a 2-0 victory over “Fluminense” in the semifinals of the World Club Championship.
