There is only one thing cheering Chelsea fans up as they struggle through another period of bad results.

Estevao has been out injured, but came on and was the only bright spot in Saturday’s 3-0 defeat to Everton. The BBC have done a nice piece looking into his background, with some great quotes about his decision to come to Chelsea.

Thiago Silva had just gone back to Brazil, and he told Estevao to make the move.

“The experience of playing for Chelsea and living in London will be unforgettable for me and for my family,” the defender told the teenage winger after facing him in the Brazilian league.

“I told Estevao that the club likes to work with and develop young players and that he could use that to make the most of the opportunity.”

Estevao aims for the biggest challenges

In the end, despite coaches warning him that England was the most competitive environment, the youngster had his mind made up.

“I kept telling him that English football is one of the most competitive there is,” coach Serginho said.

“Estevao has not back down. I knew he would adapt.”

Regardless of these excuses Rosenior is struggling right now, and one line he’s had about training time is backfiring on him right now.
