Chelsea qualified for the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, winning without too much difficulty against the Brazilian club of Palmeiras (2-1). In the next round, the Blues will face the club of one of their former players, Thiago Silva, who is now evolving under the colors of Fluminense.
In the quarterfinals, they, on the other hand, faced one of their future players: Estevao. The Brazilian winger will leave Palmeiras to reach England after the competition. At only 18 years old, the young player showed up last season, with 12 goals and 5 assists in 37 games.
His future teammates took the opportunity to slip a few words to him. Cole Palmer, a Chelsea attack star, was notably seen by his side after the meeting.
The brilliant declaration of Palmer!
After the meeting, the player made a brilliant revelation on the nature of their exchange, joking about the mastery of the English of his teammate:
“I told him that we were looking forward to seeing him again, but he didn't understand a word from what I told him “
Subsequently, he validated the recruitment of such a young player, believing that such a reinforcement would help the team:
“He is a great player, he is young too. When he arrives in England, he will have to give him time for him to adapt to culture, to the language. But we can already see that he has exceptional qualities.”
“I said ‘we look forward to seeing him’, but he didn’t understand a word I said” 😅
