Chelsea’s dazzling young Brazilian, Estevão Willian, has lifted the lid on his remarkable start to life at Stamford Bridge — and it’s a chapter unfolding far smoother than even he anticipated.
Speaking in an exclusive chat with Sky, Estevão admitted he spent “a year and a half” wondering what the reality of Chelsea life would feel like. But now that he’s here, the verdict is clear: it’s better than the dream.
“My start at Chelsea has been much better than I expected. I was wondering for a year and a half about how it would feel to be here…” he said, reflecting on his long-awaited move to London.
Barely months into his Premier League journey, the teenage winger has already become one of the club’s brightest sparks. And according to him, the transition — both on and off the pitch — has been seamless.
“I’ve adapted quickly, I’ve been able to play, I’ve adapted well inside and outside of the club. I am very happy.”
For Chelsea fans, the sentiment is mutual. The Blues have embraced the Brazilian jewel, whose fearlessness, creativity and maturity far beyond his age have added a new spark to Mauricio Pochettino’s evolving squad.
With confidence soaring and his new adventure off to a flying start, Estevão’s message is unmistakable: the future at Stamford Bridge is bright, blue, and undeniably Brazilian.
