Pedro: I wouldn’t like to face Barca



New Chelsea signing Pedro has expressed his fear of facing his former club, Barcelona, in another club’s jersey.
“I just hope I don’t have to face Barca, or step out at the Nou Camp wearing another jersey. It would be difficult, I wouldn’t like it,” he said.
Pedro also revealed why his potential moves to Manchester United and Manchester City fell through. He said;

“I had offers from other English clubs – Manchester United, City and Chelsea, who were the club that more rapidly resolved my transfer and the one that showed more interest in me,”[post_ad]
“I’m very happy to be at Chelsea because it’s a club that, like Barca, are fighting for titles. But I haven’t gone to Chelsea just to work under Mourinho, but also because London attracts me as a city and I have friends at Chelsea.
“Moreover, English football is exciting and very attractive.
“I’ve had an incredible reception at Chelsea. John Terry is an exemplary captain, who has treated me very well since I arrived.
