Before the friendly match of the Brazilian National Team against South Korea, the forward Estêvão, from Chelsea, spoke about his current moment and the adaptation phase to life in England. According to the young player, the process has been smoother than he imagined.

Estêvão: lessons in England

Since leaving Palmeiras, Estêvão has played 9 games for Chelsea, with 1 goal (in the recent classic against Liverpool) and 1 assist. He revealed that he has been frequently used on the right wing, but has played in different offensive roles.
