Brazilian player Joao Pedro expressed joy at the transfer to Al-Wasl Club during the current winter transfer window, noting that the supporters of "Imperators" were one of the main reasons for his agreement to move to Al-Wasl until the end of the current season. "Playing in the UAE Pro League is not new for me, but the move to Al-Wasl is appealing, especially since it is one of the largest clubs in the UAE, and most importantly, it has a large fan base that motivates any player to play in its squad," Joao Pedro said for "Emirates Today." He added: "The Al-Wasl fans are one of the main sources of strength in the team, and I have already played alongside them many times, and I am genuinely eager to play with their support." "I greatly appreciate the value of playing for Al-Wasl, as a title holder of the league championship and President's Cup, and I came to the team to strive for titles." The Brazilian player also expressed joy at his debut for Al-Wasl against Kalba, scoring the equalizing goal: "I am glad to have scored in my first match for Al-Wasl, but the goal was not enough as the team lost points." "Scoring goals is important, but the main thing is to achieve victories for the team, and I hope the results improve in the near future." Responding to a question about his return to the Pro League, he said: "I have already played for three clubs - Al-Hazem, Al-Bahri, and Al-Waida, and Al-Wasl is my fourth experience here, and I hope my time with Al-Wasl will be the longest and most successful." He has many friends here, and his family is very happy to return to the UAE, as they have many pleasant memories here, and despite his departure from the Pro League, they always returned to the country during vacation periods to restore memories and enjoy this beautiful country." He concluded his statement by saying: "I will work hard to contribute all my efforts so that Al-Wasl achieves victories, and I hope that we can finish the season as champions."
