Chelsea tease Estêvão's nickname, praise Brazilian in Liverpool win | OneFootball

Estêvão scored the goal that secured Chelsea's comeback with a 2-1 victory over Liverpool last Saturday at Stamford Bridge. On social media, the London club praised the performance of the 18-year-old Brazilian forward, calling him “Liverpool-man,” a joke referencing the nickname he had when he played for Palmeiras.

“The meme ended quickly here… Estêvão is DECISIVE!” wrote the team.

Created by rival fans, Estêvão's nickname was “Cuiabá Man” due to his good performances in matches against smaller teams, which rarely repeated against stronger rivals. Thus, Chelsea took advantage of the forward's good moment and turned the provocation into a compliment, highlighting the Brazilian's prominence precisely in the duel against one of the world's football powerhouses.

Decisive Estêvão

At 30 minutes into the second half, the number 41 came off the bench to change the course of the match against Liverpool. 19 minutes later, Estêvão took advantage of Cucurella's cross and finished into the empty net, scoring the winning goal.
