Chelsea’s Rising Star: Estevao Shines in Pre-Season Debut

Estevao scored his first goal at Stamford Bridge in his Chelsea pre-season debut against Bayer Leverkusen and received applause from the home fans. Before this, he earned the respect of Cole Palmer, who praised the Brazilian teenager for his talent and urged people to give him time to adapt to English culture and language.

Palmer and Estevao communicate well on the field, with Palmer actively seeking out the Brazilian during the match against Leverkusen. Their partnership seemed to bring out a more expressive style in Palmer's play.

During the game, Estevao showcased his skills with dribbles, crosses, shots, and even took Chelsea's corner kicks. The duo's most successful moment came from an accidental but impressive combination that led to a goal.

Estevao's versatility was highlighted when he replaced Palmer as the No 10 in the second half, a move that Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca had hinted at in a press conference. Maresca praised Estevao's ability to play in various attacking positions.

Estevao's background at Palmeiras prepared him for a creative role, having played in different positions for the Brazilian club. His arrival at Chelsea adds another dimension to the team's attack, providing a fresh source of inspiration and relieving pressure on Palmer.

Despite being young and relatively new to the intense English league, Estevao's performance against Leverkusen showed his potential to contribute positively to Chelsea's success. His work ethic and dedication on the field have already earned him respect from teammates and fans alike.
