In the 20th round of the English Premier League, Brighton and Arsenal had a match in the spotlight. With João Pedro's penalty shootout, the home team Brighton drew 1-1 with Arsenal at home. After the match, João Pedro opened up to Sky Sports reporters and talked about his feelings on the field.
"We started well and conceded a goal in the first half, but we were confident that we could turn the game around. In the second half we attacked with all our might and tried to equalize, but in the end it was a bit of a shame that we only got a point. We had all the power to win the game, it's just a shame it didn't happen." João Pedro exuded a touch of regret over the result.
Speaking about the penalty he created and successfully scored, João Pedro exclaimed, "While trying to control the ball, Arsenal's Saliba accidentally bumped into me and the referee decisively awarded the penalty. I was honored to take the penalty and managed to put the ball in the net. I've been working on goals and assists, enjoying the thrill of scoring, and I hope to contribute to the team by scoring more goals in the future."
In addition, João Pedro spoke highly of the team's overall performance: "We did well as a team on the field and everyone contributed to the team. Although the result was not satisfactory, our performance deserves to be recognized. We will learn from this game and continue to work hard to be ready for the next games."
