Estevao Willian, an 18-year-old forward for Palmeiras, is facing challenges in maintaining focus during the Club World Cup, ahead of his upcoming transfer to Chelsea for around £29.1m. Despite not scoring, he has played key roles in creating chances during the tournament. Estevao expressed his excitement about the move but admitted the anxiety and distraction it brings. His commitment remains with Palmeiras as he aims to perform well until the transfer is finalized, highlighting his dedication to leave a positive legacy at the club.
"It's really hard [to focus]," Estevao told TNT Sports Brazil. "[Going to Chelsea] is a dream coming true, but knowing that I need to focus here first. It's not easy."
"But I'm trying to focus as much as possible here, to leave everything I can on the pitch, to leave here well, with my head held high, through the front door, knowing that I did my best here."
