Hope of the Brazilian National Team under coach Carlo Ancelotti, forward Estêvão was on the field this Saturday for Chelsea against Sunderland in the Premier League. The current world champion was surprised by the opponent and was defeated 2-1 at home. The Brazilian had a subdued performance.
Estevão started the match on the bench. He was brought in only at the 13th minute of the second half, replacing Garnacho, who scored Chelsea's only goal in the match.
Estêvão's participation was discreet, unable to change the course of the match. With 18 actions with the ball, he had one shot, but it was blocked. Despite a good pass completion rate of 92%, the forward couldn't create significant opportunities, totaling 0.08 in expected goals (xG) and 0.09 in expected assists (xA).
In individual plays, Estêvão attempted one dribble and failed, suffered one foul, and lost possession three times. Finally, he won only 1 out of 4 ground duels, highlighting some difficulty in imposing himself physically and technically.
Another player who did not perform well in Chelsea's defeat was João Pedro. Starting the match, he stayed on the field for 85 minutes, did not take any shots, and lost possession 9 times. At the end of the match, he was replaced by Tyrique George.
Meanwhile, midfielder Andrey Santos entered the field only at the end and played for just 13 minutes, without much chance to show anything.
