Chelsea's sensational teenage winger Estevao Willian has surprisingly snubbed his modern idol in a captivating quick-fire elimination game. Despite his deep admiration for the current generation, the young forward ultimately crowned the legendary three-time World Cup winner as the absolute greatest Brazilian footballer of all time following a series of tough choices.

With the World Cup approaching, Neymar faces a critical 12-day window to prove his fitness to Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti. Following Santos' early state championship exit, the forward has just two matches to demonstrate his physical readiness after injuries to Rodrygo and Estevao opened the door for a possible end to his international exile.

Brazilian wonderkid Estevao Willian has revealed the reasoning behind his decision to snub Manchester United in favour of a move to Chelsea. The 18-year-old believes that the long-term project offered by Chelsea serves as the best stepping stone to fulfil his ambition of reaching the level of his idol, Neymar. With the club's focus on youth development, Estevao feels Stamford Bridge is the place where he can secure the regular playing time crucial for his growth in the top flight of English football.

Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has confirmed that Brazilian starlet Estevao Willian has been ruled out of Saturday's Premier League clash with Burnley at Stamford Bridge. The Blues head into the game against Scott Parker's strugglers aiming to take home all three points that will see them move into the top four ahead of Manchester United's match against Everton on Monday.
