Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca received counsel from Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira to embrace and nurture 18-year-old Estêvão Willian following the player's impressive performance. Estêvão scored a goal in his final game for Palmeiras, earning the Player of the Match award, although Chelsea secured a win to progress in the FIFA Club World Cup. Ferreira praised Estêvão's skills and warned about the challenges he might face in England, emphasizing the importance of Chelsea providing him with support as he transitions to a new environment.
'You bought an amazing player, but more than this you bought an amazing person. He is a kid that is 18 years old so Chelsea need to take care of him.'
'He is an amazing player with a lot of skill. He is a player who can win a game alone.'
'He looks really slim, but he is strong. He's fast with his dribbling, he is an amazing player, and he is tough. Chelsea paid a lot for him.'
