"I feel very lucky to be his manager. He's exciting, we can enjoy,"
"The fans pay the tickets to see players like Cole [Palmer] and Estevao, these types of players. It's nice to have these types of players."
"With young players, most of the time you are a bit worried because most of the time, they play one or two games and score, and they think they are already top players. But we don't need to worry about that with Estevao. He's very humble and polite and he has family close to him."
Estevao, 18 years and 181 days old, became Chelsea's youngest Champions League goalscorer with a penalty in a 5-1 win over 10-man Ajax. He stands as the third-youngest penalty scorer in Champions League history and also scored a stoppage-time Premier League winner against Liverpool. Manager Enzo Maresca expressed confidence in Estevao's humility, politeness and family support and indicated no need for tight management. Chelsea fielded one of the youngest starting XIs in Champions League history, and Reggie Walsh became the club's youngest ever player in the competition at 17 years and 2 days.
