Pedro: Our mentality is the difference

Chelsea forward Pedro has acknowledged that confidence and change in mentality are key to Chelsea's form this season but mentained that the title race is still far from over despite the ten points gap between Chelsea and rivals Tottenham and Manchester City.

He said: "This is a team with good confidence. Now it's a very good distance from Tottenham and [Manchester] City, but there's a long way to go, more points to play.

"For me it is good to win, to win the Premier League is a dream for me. I hope to win it, but there is a long way to go. It is difficult, Stoke are a strong team with good players and it's always very difficult to win this game."


"The mentality has changed, we're more confident on the pitch, and that confidence is probably the secret as to why we are top of the league. Conte speaks a lot with the players, also on the pitch and on the training ground, preparing very well for the games. It's important for us, when not in the Champions League, to have the time to prepare for the games. This is good for the team, but Antonio is a very good coach with good mentality, good ideas as to how to play and win the games. This is the right way."
