UCL: ‘You don’t need to worry about him’ – Maresca names special Chelsea star
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has named Estevao Willian as a ‘special player’ in the Blues’ squad, insisting that there are no worries about the youngster being carried away.
This is as the teenager has continued to shine for the Blues since arriving at Stamford Bridge over the summer.
The 18-year-old after agreed a deal to join Chelsea from Palmeiras last year and has already made an impact at the west London side.
The Brazilian scored a dramatic late winner over Liverpool to net his first Premier League goal in memorable fashion.
The Brazilian scored his first goal in the Champions League against Ajax on Wednesday, helping the Blues beat the Dutch side 5-1.
Chelsea’s Italian boss, Maresca said the young forward already has the right attitude to managed his success, picking the Brazil international as not just a special player, but with the correct mindset to succeed.
“With young players, most of the time you can be a little bit worried because if they play one or two games well and they score, they think that they are already top players,” he told reporters following their game against Ajax.
“The good thing about Estevao is that we don’t need to be worried about that. He’s very humble, he’s very polite, he wants to work hard. He also has a fantastic family; they are very close to him.
“For me, personally, he’s fantastic because he’s a special player, but you don’t have to be worried.”
