They wrote in their player rating: \u201cEstevao \u2013 8\/10. The youngster put in a great performance, scoring two goals. In the first, he read the game well and moved well, infiltrating the box behind the defence. In the second, he was focused, pressing, winning the ball back, and finishing. He also delivered passes and crosses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2240273906-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Brazil winger Estevao Willian dribbling with the ball against South Korea in an international friendly.\" \/>Photo by Han Myung-Gu\/Getty ImagesPedro Neto should be on alert<\/p>\n<p>If Estevao continues to improve at this rapid rate, we don\u2019t think it will be too long before he\u2019s pushing to start every Chelsea fixture on the right wing.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Blues winger Pedro Neto may need to respond. The 25-year-old attacker has proven he can operate successfully from the right or left, but he may need to get more comfortable playing the latter.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s an argument to be made that left-footed Neto is at his very best cutting infield from the right wing, which leaves Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca with a potential selection headache.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thechelseachronicle.com\/news\/chelsea-fans-are-making-the-same-point-about-pedro-neto-after-his-portugal-display-in-the-nations-league\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chelsea supporters enjoyed Neto\u2019s display on the left wing<\/a> during a performance for Portugal. Could we see him playing there more often this season? If that\u2019s the case, he could take minutes away from teammates Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chelsea\u2019s Estevao Willian has the pressure on his young shoulders of potentially being the next superstar out of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":215827,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[40428,403,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-215826","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-estevao-willian","9":"tag-soccer","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215826","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215826"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215826\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/215827"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215826"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
