Last season, Lazio`s forward Pedro unexpectedly played a pivotal role in the Serie A title race when he scored two crucial goals in Lazio`s 2-2 draw against Inter Milan in May. This result proved to be a significant moment, indirectly aiding Napoli`s Scudetto pursuit.
Following that match and Napoli`s eventual Scudetto victory, the Spanish attacker was inundated with messages of appreciation from ecstatic Napoli supporters on social media. Pedro has now shared further details about this overwhelming wave of Neapolitan enthusiasm he experienced.
Pedro Details Messages from Napoli Players After His Double Strike Against Inter
In an interview with DAZN, as reported by La Lazio Siamo Noi, Pedro confirmed, “Yes, I received numerous messages, and even some videos.”
He further disclosed, “I even heard from former teammates like Spinazzola and Juan Jesus, both of whom I played alongside during my time at Roma. It was quite amusing, but I honestly didn`t feel I did anything extraordinary. Napoli had an incredible season; I was simply doing my part to help my team secure a victory.”
Pedro concluded by calling it “a delightful anecdote that I cherish. To this day, people I encounter still express their gratitude to me for the Scudetto. Yet, I maintain I did nothing; they deserved the title on their own merit.”
Pedro Focused on Contributing to Lazio in What Could Be His Final Season
In June, Lazio, often referred to as the Biancocelesti, extended a new contract to the then 37-year-old Pedro, securing his presence in the Italian capital for an additional year.
The experienced Spanish forward has endeared himself to the fans in Rome, becoming a notable favorite, and impressively netted ten goals in 30 appearances during the previous season.
Upon announcing the contract extension, the club released a statement highlighting Pedro`s qualities: “Pedro has consistently embodied the values of experience, composure, and unwavering dedication, both during matches and in training. This renewal aligns with our commitment to continuity and practical strategy. Pedro`s extensive experience and dependable performance will be an invaluable asset for us as we approach the upcoming season with strength and resolve.”
