Carlo Ancelotti has praised Chelsea winger, Willian Estevão following his outstanding display for the national team in the ongoing international break, Softfootball reports.
The Blues winger scored as Brazil beat Senegal 2-0 in a friendly on Saturday afternoon at the Emirates stadium. The Teranga Lions beat the former World Cup winners the last time they faced each other and this game was like a revenge mission for Brazil.
Ancelotti could not hide his adiration for the Chelsea star during the post-match interview posted on Fabrizio Romano’s official X handle as he assured that the Brazilian wonderkid has a guaranteed future with the national team. He said:
Estevão has incredible amount of talent. It’s a surprise this level at his age. He’s good at finishing, has a lot of ‘magic’… and he works very hard. I can say this: with Estevão, Brazil have guaranteed future.
Interestingly, Estevão said in a recent interview that his journey has been better than what he envisaged for himself. He first met his teammates during the FIFA Club World Cup but did not play with them until in the new season when he joined the rest of the squad and he has been fantastic for Chelsea so far.
Estevão scored the first goal against Senegal and Manchester United midfielder, Casemiro added the second in a classic first half display. Brazil will face Tunisia on Tuesday in their next friendly encounter.
