Estevão Willian continues to produce great performances for Palmeiras in Brazil after his recent performances in the league. The Brazilian teenager right winger secured a move to Chelsea, the Premier League club, and he will make his debut in European football next year when he turns 18.
For now, he continues to show why the former Premier League champions signed him, and his skills and performances are driving some Brazilian coaches crazy. Because of that, his nickname Messinho fits perfectly. He will be teammate of the also Brazilian Andrey Santos.
One of the coaches who are so impressed yet annoyed by his performances is the former legendary Brazilian goalkeeper Roberto Ceni. He is the coach of Bahia, who lost 2-0 against Palmeiras, where Estevão Willian scored a goal and provided an assist in the match.
Ceni couldn't believe what he saw and spoke after the match about Estêvão Willian. Ceni said, "You can't f****** mark this guy." The Sao Paulo legend even showed his frustration during the goal that Willian scored against Bahia, which was a great run from his own half towards the goal and scoring a brilliant left-footed strike.
Willian has played 16 matches in the Brazilian Serie A, and he started in 12 of the games. He has five goals and provided four assists so far.
He has four goal contributions in the last three games for Palmeiras. He scored a goal in the 2-2 draw against Gremio last week. He then scored and provided an assist in the 2-0 win against Bahia, where was named the man of the match.
In the last match against Atletico Goainiense, Willian provided an assist in the Palmeiras 3-1 win. Palmeiras are second in the league with 33 points after 16 matches played. Their record in the league is ten wins, three draws, and three defeats. Willian is arguably the best player in the Brazilian league so far, and he is only 17 years old.
The young Brazilian has impressed many, and he has caught the attention of the head coach of the Brazilian national team, Dorival Junior, who spoke about the talented winger. He already participated in the Under-17 World Cup, but he is ready for the first team debut.
Dorival Junior said, "Estevão Willian is being monitored always like every Brazilian player. Let’s wait, with what he is doing, he is a new option that is surging. This is excellent. We always want to have an extra player for the process that can improve us."
