Yesterday Watford overwhelmed Manchester United. A very bitter poker for the Red Devils and a goleada in which Joao Pedro also participated. Born in Ribeirao Preto (the same place as Socrates) on September 26, 2001, he grew up in football in the ranks of Fluminense.
A well-rounded striker with great dribbling and a sense of goal who made his first team debut with the Brazilian club in 2019. Watford were the club that quickly realized Joao's qualities, buying him for four million even before he made his debut. in Brazil and making him sign a contract that would come into force from January 2020.
The former Fluminense was the protagonist of the Hornets' return to the Premier League with a comeback characterized by ten wins in eleven games including seven goals from his in 28 appearances. Performance that earned him a contract renewal until 2027 with a higher salary to fend off assaults from clubs like Liverpool. Joao Pedro is therefore the umpteenth discovery of the Pozzo family: the future is certainly on his side.
