This Monday, Joao Pedro was not called up with Brazil to participate in the World Cup. Terrible news for the Brazilian striker, who may fuel great incomprehension after this non-selection. Surely the best 9 of the Seleçao at the moment, the Chelsea striker did not enter into Carlo Ancelotti’s plans despite his 20 goals and 9 assists in 49 matches.

With his first successful season in London, the former Brighton player failed to make his way into Ancelotti’s list and fell behind Gabriel Martinelli, Igor Thiago, Endrick and even Rayan. Despite this disillusionment, Joao Pedro was voted Chelsea’s player of the season on Tuesday. A small consolation for the 24-year-old player, who remains in ambush in the event of a withdrawal from the Brazilian selection.
