Pedro Neto pointed out that if Chelsea want to improve further and have the strength to compete for more titles, they must improve their ability to respond and withstand pressure in adversity in the game.
The winger scored his second goal of the Club World Cup, opening the scoring against Flamengo, as he made a long run after a midfield steal and slotted home a cool low shot.
Despite taking the lead, Chelsea failed to maintain their lead. After the 60th minute, Flamengo scored two goals in a row to overtake the score. After the game, Pedro Neto reviewed the game and analyzed in detail the team's problems and countermeasures.
Pedro Neto said: "I think this is a manifestation of a sense of responsibility, not recklessness, but a desire to win. Although our start in the first half was not ideal, it can be seen from the performance on the field that even at the risk of getting a card, we have become more determined in physical confrontation."
"We started the second half better than we did in the first half. But when we had the ball we relaxed a little bit and the intensity came back and that was the decisive difference in the game."
"I always speak from the perspective of the team, not from an individual perspective. As I mentioned before, if we want to achieve greater success, we must keep moving forward and keep working hard. The only goal we came here for is to win the game. If we want to win, we must overcome challenges and go all out."
The player, who earned his place in the world's premier tournament with his performances, says Chelsea should be grateful and enjoy the process. He impressed in the opening two games and remains confident that the team will face a crucial knockout match next weekend.
Pedro Neto continued: “I always believe in our quality. As Chelsea, we have only one goal, that is to win games, and we have an extremely good team.
"So, like I said, we have to keep gaining experience, keep working hard in the games and keep performing consistently. We are grateful to be here and to play in this tournament and, in fact, there are many players who are eager to have the opportunity to replace me at the Club World Cup."
