"I think so. Based on how Estêvão has played in the last six months, I think so. Estêvão will be at the World Cup."
"He is a very, very special player. He is very different because he has a big natural talent. It doesn't mean that he is 100 percent developed because of his age. In terms of his talent, he can't improve it but what he can do is to give continuity. What can help is the physical aspect, the tactical learning and the mental approach because he is very young. He is progressing very, very well at Chelsea. I haven't spoken to Chelsea but I'm certain that they are doing a specific program with him in this sense."
Estêvão, 18, moved from Palmeiras to Chelsea for £29 million and has quickly become a standout winger. He has scored three goals in five Champions League appearances, including a solo effort against Barcelona, and has five goals in 11 caps for Brazil after debuting in September 2024. He scored four goals in his last three national-team appearances. He has made 11 Premier League appearances, starting five times. The club environment is aiding his physical, tactical and mental development, supporting his progression and continuity as a high-potential talent.
