Pedro struggling to adapt to the Premier League

Pedro admits he is finding it “hard” to adapt to life in the Premier League with Chelsea, but he is slowly coming to terms with the style of play.

Pedro signed for Chelsea from Barcelona for around £21million in the summer, and after an excellent start with the Blues, the Spanish international has started to struggle under Jose Mourinho.

The 28-year-old admits it has been “hard” to adapt to life away from Barcelona and Spain, but he believes he is slowly becoming accustomed to the change in style.

“It’s hard. It’s very different to what I’m used to [at Barcelona],” he told the Daily Mirror.

“But, little by little, I’m integrating more, adapting with my teammates and the team and that’s the most important thing.

“Everything is different, very different to the football I’m used to. I think there are a lot of differences, very physical football, very strong.

“A lot of players attack and it’s always complicated. All the games are competitive and very balanced.”
