Chelsea Fans Praise Young Player's Impressive Debut Goal

Estevao Willian Impresses Chelsea Fans in Debut Match

Chelsea fans were thrilled as 18-year-old Estevao Willian made a remarkable debut at Stamford Bridge against Bayer Leverkusen. Within 18 minutes, the Brazilian scored Chelsea's opener from a rebound off Cole Palmer's shot. Joao Pedro later secured a 2-0 victory for Chelsea with a well-placed finish, capping off a successful evening for the new signings.

Estevao's arrival was highly anticipated since Chelsea's agreement with Palmeiras in June 2024 for a £30 million transfer, which was finalized upon his 18th birthday this summer. His impressive performance on Friday night delighted Chelsea fans, with many expressing high expectations for the young talent.

Having scored 27 goals in 83 appearances at Palmeiras, Estevao became the fourth-youngest player to debut for the club and received accolades such as the Brasileirao Best Newcomer and the prestigious Bola de Ouro. Despite the excitement surrounding him, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca emphasized the need to support and nurture the young player without putting excessive pressure on him as he embarks on his debut season.

Maresca described Estevao as a fantastic and talented player, highlighting the importance of providing him with the necessary time and support to adapt to a new environment and grow as a player. Chelsea fans are eager to see more of Estevao's promising performances in the upcoming matches.
