Chelsea's Pedro Neto excels at wing-back under Xabi Alonso's management

Pedro Neto scored twice in Chelsea's 2-0 victory at Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday, showcasing his effectiveness as a wing-back. This marks a turning point for the 26-year-old, who recently signed a new contract until 2032. Transitioning to this role under Xabi Alonso, Neto has significantly increased his contributions, demonstrating improved stats for touches in the box, successful dribbles, and defensive responsibilities. Chelsea's appointment of Alonso and a revised team vision appear to have revitalized Neto's career after a challenging past season.
