Future Chelsea star Estevao matches Neymar record as his hype continues to grow before joining the Premier League club.
Estevao matches Neymar record
Many consider Estevao Willian to be one of Brazil’s most promising young athletes. There would be no cruelty in implying that he is better than Santos. He has already tied Neymar’s records for Palmeiras with outstanding Serie A performances. The teenager is already among the best strikers on the South American continent.
Given that he is under 17, he cannot officially join Chelsea. He’ll be eighteen next month. He’s probably going to sign with the English squad as soon as feasible. During the season, he broke a lot of records. But breaking Neymar’s record in Brazil’s domestic division has become a news story. He also achieved this feat at a younger age than Neymar.
His ability to score 30 goals was brought out by The Playoffs (a sports news outlet). He is now the first Brazilian player to achieve 30 goals before turning 18, breaking Neymar’s record. ‘A thing of beauty’ is how Tribuna (a news outlet) hailed his beautiful goal.
Estevao & Neymar: The Sao Paulo boys
The teenager is also from the state of Sao Paulo as Neymar. The fans have been comparing him with the 33-year-old a lot. Currently, the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain player is at Santos in Brazil. Unfortunately, Santos are not matched to play with Palmeiras until the summer. These teams may face each other after the Club World Cup. That suggests there will be no fixture between Estevao and Neymar.
In spite of that, the young forward will have a chance to play against one of his idols in the summer. After winning the 2021 Copa Libertadores, his club have earned a spot in the new-look Club World Cup. The Brazilian outfit has been drawn into the same group as Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami.
The winger has been called upon as Messinho or little Messi by the fans. He has named the Argentina international captain as his hero. And now, he is set to face the 2022 World Cup and eight-time Ballon D’Or winner very soon out in the field. This summer their clubs play against each other in the Club World Club. The fixture is set to be the final group game. That match could possibly be Estevao’s final appearance for the team with the most Brazilian titles.
Estevao: The Brazilian teenage sensation
Since he is only 17 years old, he cannot officially join Chelsea. He will turn eighteen next month. He’ll probably be joining the English squad as soon as possible. We’ll have to wait and see. Chelsea was able to acquire the young youngster ahead of schedule without a significant struggle. About £51 million was the total amount of the charge paid. That’s a big amount for a teenager, but they think it will benefit them.
Estevao Willian is considered one of Brazil’s most promising young athletes. It wouldn’t be harsh to imply that he is better than Santos. He has already tied Neymar’s records with his outstanding Serie A exploits at Palmeiras. The young man is already among the most talented strikers in the South American continent. He broke a lot of records during the season. However, the media has taken notice of breaking Neymar’s record in Brazil’s domestic league. He was also younger than Neymar at the time of this milestone.
Author’s Opinion
Estevao has great game sense for his tender age. In the Premier League, the opposition he will be facing will be completely different. He will join the Blues with not a lot of expectations given his age. He will surely improve his game in England. It will be interesting to see how he adjusts to the new country, culture and people at his new home.
