""It's exciting to see him. The good thing about Estevao, sometimes with young players you are worried because after one game playing well and they think they are top. "But Estevao is polite, humble and wants to learn. His family did a job there. We are happy in the way he performs but also because he is a nice boy, a good boy.""
""For me he is very similar to Cole Palmer, who I had at a very similar age at Man City," he added. "Cole started to play wide because he needed to build his physicality and now he is playing inside. "With Estevao, they are quite similar. Now he is playing wide but in the future I think he is more of an inside player. "With Cole we are a better team. We need Cole. Without him we try to find so""
Chelsea made ten changes and produced a 5-1 victory over 10-man Ajax at Stamford Bridge, with several teenagers seizing opportunity. Estêvão scored a penalty and could have scored more, while Jamie Gittens, Marc Guiu and Tyrique George also impressed. Chelsea became the first club in Champions League history to have three teenagers score in a single match. Manager Enzo Maresca praised Estevao's humility, work ethic and family background, comparing him to Cole Palmer and projecting Estevao's long-term role as an inside player despite currently operating wide. The result underlined Chelsea's young-player depth amid Cole Palmer's absence.
