Teenager Estêvão Willian has cemented his place in Liam Rosenior’s plans for the Manchester City clash after a dominant man-of-the-match performance in Chelsea’s FA Cup win over Port Vale.
Estêvão Willian has issued a bold statement to manager Liam Rosenior following a brilliant display in Chelsea’s FA Cup triumph over Port Vale.
The 18-year-old Brazilian, returning to the starting lineup, recorded a goal and an assist while creating three big chances.
Rosenior praised the team’s application, stating, “I was very happy with the application and the intensity levels of the team.”
The victory provides a vital morale boost for the Blues, who recently slumped to sixth in the Premier League.
With a high-stakes fixture against Manchester City looming, Estêvão’s form offers hope amidst off-field turbulence involving Enzo Fernández.
Rosenior remains optimistic about the season’s climax, noting, “I’ve got a group of players who still believe… we can have an outstanding season.”
