Joao Pedro explains his football style as a number 9
The Brazilian said: "Yeah, I'm a very technical player, I can use both feet, but this is a very good point, because if you watch me in the game, sometimes if I don't get the ball, I don't stay in the same spot, I move, I need to find a way to change the game, and because I used to play as a 10, so sometimes I can help the team in different positions.
"Sometimes you get some coaches who don't want you to move a lot, 'You need to stay there and run to the first post', but sometimes the ball doesn't come to the first post. And how do you get goals?
"And so I need to smell where the ball is gonna come, I have to be there. So today I have freedom, I feel able to do what I like to do, and I think now people can see I'm not just the guy who stays there and tapping, I can do something different."
