Scoring an extraordinary hat-trick, the Portuguese star excites Chelsea’s coach

Chelsea secured a 4-0 victory over Hull in the FA Cup, and coach Liam Rosenior gave particular commendation to Pedro Neto’s comprehensive display after his remarkable hat-trick.

In the early hours of February 14, Chelsea convincingly beat Hull City 4-0 at MKM Stadium, confidently advancing to the FA Cup fifth round. The match showcased the visitors’ complete dominance, but the highlight was not only the scoreline but also Pedro Neto’s brilliant performance.

After the match, Chelsea’s head coach Liam Rosenior praised the Portuguese star extensively, especially considering that Neto had occasionally faced doubts about his form. The English manager emphasized that he pays no attention to external criticism and highlighted the winger’s true influence on the team’s play.

“Pedro Neto brings us many qualities. He is a world-class player, a top winger. His sacrifices for the team are clearly visible in every match,” shared the Chelsea coach. According to him, Neto’s contribution extends beyond scoring goals; he is a vital component in tactical execution, from pressing and stretching the opponent’s defense to providing defensive support when necessary.

On the pitch, Chelsea quickly took control of the game with a high tempo. The constant pressure was rewarded with Neto’s opening goal from a neat finish inside the box. The early goal boosted the visitors’ confidence, allowing them to maintain dominance and making it difficult for Hull to mount counterattacks. Before halftime, Neto made another mark with a daring set-piece that caught the home defense off guard and went straight into the net.

In the second half, Chelsea kept their control and added another goal to extend the lead. As Hull showed signs of fatigue, Neto completed his hat-trick, capping off an almost flawless individual display. The emphatic win not only helped Chelsea advance deeper in the FA Cup, but also carried significant morale value as the team approaches a crucial phase of the season.

With his current form, Pedro Neto is increasingly becoming a key pillar in Chelsea’s attack. The public trust from the head coach is seen as a major psychological boost, helping the Portuguese player gain confidence to maintain his high level moving forward.
