Brazil starlet Estevao 'ready' for Chelsea move: Palmeiras coach
PALMEIRAS coach Abel Ferreira said he believes teenage prodigy Estevao Willian is ready to take the leap to the Premier League after he marked his farewell appearance for the Brazilian club with a goal against future employers Chelsea on Friday. Estevao, 18, scored a fantastic equaliser in the Club World Cup quarter-final between the teams in Philadelphia but could not prevent Chelsea claiming a 2-1 win thanks to a late own-goal. He will now complete a move to the London club, finally heading to England just over a year after Chelsea agreed to pay Palmeiras a reported 57 million euros ($67.1m), including bonuses, for him. 'I don't have sons, I have two daughters, but he is my son,' Ferreira said after the match at Lincoln Financial Field, adding that he had exchanged words with Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca about Estevao. 'I spoke before with Maresca. He is a nice coach, and I told him that they bought an amazing player but more than this they bought an amazing person. 'He is an amazing player and I said that they need to take care of him and embrace him because for sure in the beginning he will make mistakes, but you saw today that he is a player with a lot of skills who can win a game on his own. He has that capacity.' Estevao was named the best player in the Brazilian league last year and has shown plenty of glimpses of his potential at the Club World Cup. Now he must try to win a place in the Chelsea team in the face of stiff competition, with Maresca having a wide array of attacking options at his disposal. 'For sure he will need the support of the coach and directors because he is young and it is the first time he is leaving his country,' Ferreira added. 'I told him it won't be the same because the sun comes out two or three times a year, the night comes early, but I believe Chelsea have all the conditions to support him. 'He is a fantastic player and I think he is ready.' 'Huge talent' Ferreira, the Portuguese coach who has been in charge of Palmeiras since 2020, earlier hugged Estevao in front of reporters, with the player smiling despite the disappointment of his team's exit. Maresca said: 'I spoke to Estevao for the first time after the game and told him it was the perfect night because we won and he scored. 'You can see he is a huge talent, a fantastic player, and the only thing for me is that when you come from South America or in general another part of the world to Europe, you need to adapt. 'So we need to help him to adapt and first of all to be happy, continue to enjoy football, but we don't have any doubt because he is such a good player that he is going to be a very important player for Chelsea.' Another future Chelsea player, Jamie Gittens, was in attendance in Philadelphia with the England Under-21 international winger joining from Borussia Dortmund. 'Jamie was here tonight and was on the pitch and will be with us for probably another day or two,' Maresca said. 'He will then go on holiday and come back when we start the new season.'-AFP

Estevao Set for Chelsea Farewell in Club World Cup Clash
PALMEIRAS coach Abel Ferreira is hoping teenage sensation Estevao Willian can wave goodbye to the Brazilian team's fans by producing 'one amazing game' and helping them beat his future employers Chelsea in Friday's Club World Cup quarter-final. Winger Estevao, 18, will leave Palmeiras at the end of the tournament in the United States to join Chelsea in a big-money transfer that was agreed more than a year ago. The side from Sao Paulo hope that facing his future employers will provide Estevao with extra motivation to impress at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. 'I don't speak with him (about the transfer), but he knows what he needs to do tomorrow and I hope he gives his best for the owners of Chelsea,' Ferreira told reporters. 'They see him as a player of potential with all the quality he has. It will be an opportunity for him to show how good he is so all I expect from him is to give his maximum, to attack, defend and maybe score a goal to give a goodbye to our fans.' Ferreira added: 'We helped him to grow as a man and a professional so it can be a good moment to give him a goodbye with one amazing game and maybe, you never know, with one goal.' Palmeiras, who lost to Chelsea in the final of the Club World Cup in its old guise in 2022, are hoping to strike another blow for South America against Europe at the tournament. Chelsea have already lost to Brazilian opposition in Philadelphia when they fell to Flamengo in the group stage, and Palmeiras could have the bigger backing inside the stadium on Friday. Ferreira expects locals to support his team on what is the United States' Independence Day holiday. 'Yes we are the underdogs but it can be a good moment because tomorrow, if I am not wrong, it is the Independence Day against the English,' Ferreira smiled. 'We are up against a big team with a lot of talent, young players also, but we have one dream and now we will fight for it with open eyes and give our maximum tomorrow.'
