Joao Pedro Credits Rosenior as Sky Sports Data Charts His Move Into the Box

Chelsea’s in-form striker enters the PSG tie on an 11-goal, five-assist run since January.

Overview

  • Joao Pedro says his upturn stems from Liam Rosenior’s one-to-one coaching and clear guidance on how to improve.
  • Sky Sports’ analysis indicates he now roams with greater freedom yet occupies the penalty area more than under Enzo Maresca, who often used him as a No. 10.
  • Since January he has delivered 11 goals and five assists, lifting his season total to 18 with a reported 24.6% shot-conversion rate that tops Erling Haaland and trails only Harry Kane.
  • Recent highlights include a Premier League hat-trick at Aston Villa and an extra-time goal in Chelsea’s FA Cup win at Wrexham.
  • Liam Rosenior has publicly grouped him with elite strikers, insisting he is “in that category now” and that he would not swap him for anyone at present.
