Chelsea’s teenage superstar Willian Esteavo has shared a reflection on how life at Stamford Bridge has begun for him.
The forward has wasted no time capturing the attention of fans, teammates, and his manager. Estêvão has been top in everything since he joined Chelsea from adapting quicker than expected to forming early bonds within the squad,
What did Willian Esteavo say about Chelsea?
“My start at Chelsea has been much better than I expectef. I was wondering for a year and a half about how it would feel to be here. But I’ve adapted quickly, I’ve been able to play, I’ve adapted well inside & outside of the club, I am very happy.”
Carlo Ancelotti also praised the young Brazilian for what he brings to the national team at such a very young age.
He said,
Estevão has an 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”.
The winger admitted that he thought the transition from Brazil to the Premier League would take far longer. New language, new culture, new climate — all of it pointed to a difficult start. Instead, he’s surprised even himself. Estêvão says everything has happened “very quickly,” and he credits his fast adaptation to intense work in training, a supportive environment, and the trust he’s already receiving from manager Enzo Maresca.
He also highlights the role of his family, who moved with him to England and continue to anchor him emotionally as he navigates professional football at the highest level.
