João Pedro is a great story about why we love soccer.

I’m a firm believer in the greatness of fate’s arrangements,

that a person’s life can change 180 degrees overnight.

Joao Pedri. Brighton’s star player.

He was in Brazil watching the tournament, cutting short his summer vacation and watching Chelsea,

not knowing what would happen after the next match.

Sitting there watching, he must be thinking that he wants to participate in an event of this magnitude

in the future and move to a big club to fulfill his dreams.

He gets a call from his club.

Chelsea want you! He doesn’t even have time to think and agrees immediately.

So instead of continuing his vacation, what does he do?

He scores the two promotion goals against Fluminense and the third final goal

and remains the reason why Chelsea clinched the trophy.

Can you imagine where Joao Pedro was three weeks ago and where he is now?

God’s arrangements are beyond your imagination.

A man can be transported from one place to another in an instant.

Exactly two weeks ago, he was on vacation in Brazil and didn’t know what his future would be.

11 days later, he receives a lucrative offer from Chelsea, cuts short his vacation

and joins Chelsea in the FIFA World Cup.

5 days ago, he played his first match as a starter and scored two goals against Fluminense

in the FIFA World Cup semi-finals, qualifying Chelsea for the final and apologizing to Fluminense, saying “you are the reason I came to the world”.

Today, he scored a world-class chip goal in Paris in the final of the FIFA World Cup to win

the first championship of his career and cried after receiving the gold medal, saying that what I am living now is inexplicable!

João Pedro’s future turned 180 degrees in just two weeks,

from vacation to glory, a great story that explains why we love football so much.
