“Very important to say this” – Casemiro issues Estevao warning after impressive Brazil display | OneFootball

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has warned Brazil not to put too much pressure on Estevao Willian after his latest impressive performance.

Estevao scored twice as Brazil thrashed South Korea 5-0 on Friday, as the teenager continued his great start to the season.

The 18-year-old scored a goal in either half on his eighth cap for the Selecao, and already appears to be establishing himself as a key player for both club and country.

The youngster’s latest showing comes less than a week after Estevao scored a last minute winner against Liverpool.

Estevao is regarded as the best player to come out of Brazil since Neymar, and you can clearly see he’s immensely talented.

Carlo Ancelotti has praised him for his form, whilst Daniel Sturridge believes Estevao will be the next player to light up the world stage.

Estevao will almost certainly be part of the Brazil squad for the World Cup next summer providing he stays fit, but Casemiro has warned not to put too much pressure on the youngster.

“He’s a young player, we can’t put too much pressure on him,” he said as quoted on X.com.

“It’s very important to say this, even with him, we have to emphasise this.

“Because we know of countless players who, if you put pressure on them, their performance drops.

“He plays for Chelsea, he’s a starter for Chelsea, in the most competitive league in the world, but we have to take it slow, calmly.

“It’s already clear he’s a great player, that was already evident at Palmeiras. But we’ll take it slow with him so as not to rush the football process.”

Chelsea blessed with Brazilian stars

Estevao isn’t the only Brazilian impressing at Chelsea, with Joao Pedro and Andrey Santos also making good starts to the season.
