Pedro Neto has stunned the football world by revealing how his inside knowledge of Wolverhampton Wanderers’ tactics played a crucial role in Chelsea’s resounding 6-2 victory over his former club. The Portuguese winger, who recently joined Chelsea, confessed that his detailed briefing to manager Enzo Maresca about Wolves’ playing patterns helped the Blues dismantle their opponents.
“When I first arrived at Chelsea, Maresca and I discussed Wolves in depth,” Neto admitted in a post-match interview. “I shared everything I knew about their tactics—how they like to press high, the way they structure their defense, and their vulnerabilities when they’re forced to chase the game.”
Neto’s insights proved invaluable as Chelsea dominated the match from start to finish. “Maresca used that information to plan our approach,” Neto explained. “We knew that Wolves would leave gaps when they pressed forward, so we focused on quick counter-attacks to exploit those spaces. It worked perfectly.”
Chelsea’s relentless attacking saw them score six goals, with Neto himself making a significant contribution. In the dying minutes of the game, Neto capped off a brilliant team performance by providing an assist for Joao Felix, who slotted home the sixth goal. “I knew exactly where to place the ball because I’ve seen Wolves’ defensive patterns up close,” Neto said with a smile. “It felt strange, but also satisfying, to be part of such a dominant performance against my former team.”
The victory was a statement win for Chelsea and a personal triumph for Neto, whose knowledge of Wolves’ tactics gave the Blues a decisive edge. The match has sparked discussions about the impact of player insights on tactical planning, as well as the fine line between strategy and sportsmanship in modern football.
Neto’s revelation is sure to be the talk of the Premier League, adding an extra layer of drama to an already thrilling season. Fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see how Wolves respond in their future encounters, knowing that one of their former stars played a key role in their downfall.
