Estevao Willian Could Be Brazil's World Cup Surprise, Says Assistant Coach Davide Ancelotti
Brazil assistant coach Davide Ancelotti says Chelsea's 18-year-old winger Estevao Willian could be the surprise package at next summer's World Cup. The teenager has impressed in his first months at Chelsea after joining the Premier League club.
Brazil assistant coach Davide Ancelotti has tipped Chelsea's teenage winger Estevao Willian as a potential surprise star at the 2026 World Cup.
The 18-year-old Brazilian has caught the attention of the national team coaching staff after his early performances at Chelsea. When asked if Estevao would feature for Brazil at next year's tournament, Ancelotti told Esporte Record he thinks the young player will make the squad.
Estevao joined Chelsea as one of the most promising young talents in world football. His performances in recent months have apparently impressed Brazil's coaching staff enough to consider him for their World Cup plans.
Brazil will be looking to bounce back at the 2026 World Cup after disappointing performances in recent major tournaments. Finding young talent like Estevao could be key to their success.
The World Cup will take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico next summer.
A potential World Cup breakout by an 18-year-old would be huge for both Brazil's championship hopes and Chelsea fans watching their new signing. Young stars often become global superstars after strong World Cup performances.
Brazil will announce their World Cup squad closer to the tournament. Estevao's continued performance at Chelsea will be closely watched.
