Pedro has changed his opinion of Jose Mourinho since joining Chelsea from Barcelona.
Barca were involved in numerous stormy clashes with Mourinho’s Chelsea and Real Madrid sides during Pedro’s time at the Nou Camp, and there is little love lost between the Blues boss and many Barcelona players of that era.
Yet after moving to Stamford Bridge last month, Pedro admits he has seen another side of Mourinho.
“He is very different face-to-face,” Pedro told Spanish newspaper Marca. “He treats you like one of his family. He values and respects his players and demands much from them.”
Pedro scored on his debut in the victory at West Brom last month and will be expected to increase Chelsea’s attacking threat after the champions’ stuttering start to the season.

He added: “It was very hard to leave Barcelona and I will never celebrate a goal against them, because the club gave me everything.”
