"We always stay together at breakfast, lunch, training. I've known Andrey for more than eight years because we have the same sponsor. Andrey is funny, we joke a lot. Estevao is shy. It's difficult for him to adapt. I try to push him to ask for his breakfast in English."
"Sometimes training is too long for him and he feels tired before gym. I don't always need to do the gym, but I go with him because this is very important for him. He knows how physical the Premier League is. Me and Andrey push him."
"Tosin [Adarabioyo] said to me: 'Joao, wow. Estevao is amazing'. Playing for Brazil and Chelsea at 18, oh my God. He's going to be like Vinicius Jr."
Chelsea started the Premier League season unbeaten in three games with seven points, sitting behind only Liverpool. Joao Pedro and Estevao have both contributed strongly after moves from Brighton and Palmeiras respectively. Joao Pedro scored twice and provided two assists in a 5-1 win over West Ham, with 18-year-old Estevao supplying a notable assist. Both players are included in Brazil's squad for World Cup qualifiers. Joao Pedro helps Estevao adapt off the pitch by encouraging English and gym work, while teammates note Estevao's natural ability and rapid progression at 18.
