Estevao Willian scored an outrageous goal from a near-impossible angle in his final game for Palmeiras against future employers Chelsea in the Club World Cup quarter-finals. The Brazilian restored parity in the second half after Cole Palmer handed an early lead to the Blues, but Augustin Giay's late own goal helped the English giants progress to the last four.
Estevao Willian has been urged to give Chelsea a glimpse of his talent before completing his ÂŁ51.5m move to Stamford Bridge. Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira expects the 18-year-old to deliver a strong performance against his future employers in the Club World Cup quarter-final, saying the winger 'has to do his job'.
Joao Pedro could be in line to make his Chelsea debut as early as Friday, with Enzo Maresca revealing the Brazilian might feature in their Club World Cup quarter-final against Palmeiras following his ÂŁ60 million ($81.5m) switch from Brighton. The 23-year-old has only just joined up with the squad in the United States after ending his summer holiday early.
Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira hit out media for criticising sensation Estevao Willian ahead of his much-awaited move to Chelsea this summer. The youngster recently revealed his nervousness at finally joining the Blues after the Club World Cup. The attacker played a key role in the club topping their Club World Cup group and reaching the round of 16 stage.
Lionel Messi stormed off at the end of Inter Miamiâs 2-2 draw with Palmeiras, despite that result securing a spot in the FIFA Club World Cup last-16.
