Chelsea forward Joao Pedro has named the opponent who has caused him the most trouble this season. The Brazilian player admitted he was impressed by Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes, noting that his movements on the pitch were a real test. This is reported by Goal.com .
In an interview with TNT Sports Brazil, Joao Pedro said: "I was amazed! Gabriel is playing with pure inspiration this season. He is very fast and strong, but his positioning is the most difficult aspect. Just when I thought I had found space, he was already there. It was as if he knew exactly what I was going to do before I did it."
The forward also highlighted Gabriel's physicality and speed. According to him, a defender of Gabriel's stature moving with such pace and recovering so quickly is a major problem for strikers. "You think you've beaten him, but he appears right next to you in an instant to block the shot," Pedro added.
Arsenal currently boasts the best defensive record in the Premier League, and Joao Pedro believes Gabriel is the main reason for this success. Calling the defender a "wall," he emphasized the blend of composure and passion in his game.
