After extending his contract with Chelsea until 2032, Pedro Neto gave an interview to the club's official website, discussing his feelings about the contract extension.

Pedro, first of all, congratulations on signing your new contract. How does it feel to commit to your future with this club?

Thank you very much. Honestly, this is an incredible moment. Since I arrived here, I've always felt tremendous support from the people around me. The fans, the staff, my teammates – they're all very important to me. I've found a home here, and I want to achieve even more. Looking back at my journey with this club, both as part of the team and as an individual, I've experienced many beautiful moments, and I hope there will be many more.

Why did you feel now was the right time to sign a new contract?

I felt that both the club and I agreed it was the right moment. I'm very happy here. The project we're building here is excellent, so I want to be part of it and win trophies with the club.

In recent matches, you're always smiling while playing. Does this help you perform at your best on the pitch?

As you said, I think that's the most important thing. You can see everyone enjoying football. Even during difficult moments, everyone knows it's tough, but they always keep smiling. With this joy and our style of play, we get through those difficult moments. I think the match against Leeds is a good example.

Looking back at your Chelsea career so far, how much have you developed as a player?

Honestly, I've developed a lot. I've taken on many different roles and played in many different positions for this team. So as a player, I think I've improved tremendously; but more importantly, as a person, with the help of everyone around me, I've also learned a lot from them, and that's one of the reasons I chose to stay at the club.

Looking back, what moment has been most memorable for you?

I do have many wonderful memories. Chronologically speaking, in terms of goals, I think my goals against Arsenal and Fulham are the most memorable. The Arsenal goal was particularly special because it was my first Premier League goal for Chelsea, and the atmosphere in the stadium was incredible.

Then there was the away match against Fulham, especially because that goal was so crucial. The roar from the fans when I scored was absolutely insane. Knowing the importance of that goal – it allowed us to fight for Champions League qualification right down to the final moments, which was an extraordinary experience.

Of course, there are also the trophies we've won here – the Europa Conference League and the Club World Cup. For collective achievements, those moments will be etched in my memory forever. I feel incredibly happy about these moments.

Yes, I remember both of those matches very well. The crazy celebrations in the stands were truly amazing! So joyful.

Yes, it really was crazy.

And the atmosphere for that away goal against Fulham…

It was extraordinary. After scoring, I just wanted to run and celebrate, you know.

You just mentioned the Club World Cup. Since you've already won the Club World Cup and the Europa Conference League, what other goals do you want to achieve at Chelsea?

I think it's important at Chelsea to approach every competition with the belief that you can win it. When you play in the FA Cup, you want to win it; when you play in the League Cup, you want to win it; and of course, the Premier League. Winning the Premier League is a dream come true – everyone knows how difficult it is; you have to be very consistent. And of course, we also aim to return to the Champions League. So these are my current goals.

You've always been a very adaptable player. You've played as a left winger, right winger, right wing-back... Is it important for you to know that you're trusted and your manager can place you in any position whenever needed? You've even filled in as a striker.

As you said, I think as long as I can play with a smile, that's the most important thing. As you mentioned, I certainly have my best position, but whether I'm needed on the left, on the right, or up front as a striker, all I do is help the team. I'll continue to do that in the future, while improving myself and doing my best to help the team.

Can you tell us about your life at Cobham? How important has the good relationship you've built with the coaching staff and other players been in your decision to sign a new contract?

It's very important. Everyone knows I always come in here with a smile and love to joke around. I enjoy teasing everyone around me, and I also enjoy helping everyone and being helped by them. So this is a big thing for me. The atmosphere we've created here, both among the players and with the staff, allows me to be my true self. So it's very important to me.

The team has started the season very well. In your opinion, what can the team achieve under Xabi Alonso?

I think we can achieve great things. The first thing that comes to mind is his coaching style; even in the most difficult moments, you can feel his calmness and composure. And that's exactly what we need to improve from last season, and under his leadership, I believe we can take that step. Of course, our goal is to win all the trophies.

How important will Chelsea's fans be in the team's effort to win trophies this season?

They'll play a very important role. As we just discussed, I still remember the scene of that away goal, and the celebrations were amazing. For example, in the match against Leeds, when we were behind, the support from the fans was also incredible. So there's no doubt they'll play an important role in our journey to win various trophies.

Finally, is there anything you'd like to say to Chelsea fans?

Please keep following us, because the journey ahead will definitely be very exciting.
