October 15th In an interview with Fourfourtwo.com, Lazio forward Pedro talked about his decision to leave Barcelona, ​​joining Chelsea instead of Manchester United, and the topic of Guardiola and Mourinho.

About your choice to leave Barcelona after winning the third Champions League

Pedro: "I talked a lot with Luis Enrique that season. At that time, Barcelona's front three was Messi, Neymar and Suarez, and it was difficult for me to get playing time. The coach told me frankly that my playing opportunities would not be many. "Barcelona means everything to me and I wanted to end my career there, but there are moments in life that require courage, so I decided to join another project that excites me. As time goes by, I don't regret my experience abroad."

Why did you choose to join Chelsea instead of Manchester United?

Pedro: "I don't know what happened behind the scenes. The transfer to Manchester United was almost completed. But they took too long to make a decision. The season was about to start and I didn't want to wait any longer. When I represented Barcelona in the European Super Cup, I even scored a goal. It was full of uncertainty and anxiety."

"Paris Saint-Germain was also interested, and then Chelsea also expressed interest. Fabregas was the intermediary, and Mourinho called me and said they were willing to offer better conditions. Contacted Manchester United to explain the situation but they did not make a clear decision so I chose Chelsea. "

About Guardiola and Mourinho

Pedro: "Both coaches are winners, but their styles are completely different. They both have their own set of ideas and ways of motivating players. I enjoyed what I learned from Mourinho and he gave me the opportunity to experience the Premier League, which is one of the most competitive leagues and it was very interesting to adapt to it. But despite that, the first season was tough. "
