Estevão shines again with Brazil under Ancelotti

Brazil defeated Senegal 2-0 in a friendly match, and once again, Estevão was one of the standout stars on the pitch.

Deployed on the right by Carlo Ancelotti, the young Chelsea player showcased his blistering pace, technical prowess, and strong character. He opened the scoring with a stunning left-footed strike, unstoppable for Édouard Mendy. This goal is already his fourth for the Seleção since Ancelotti’s arrival, making him Brazil’s top scorer under the Italian coach.

Carlo Ancelotti was clearly impressed:

Estevão has incredible talent. At his age, it’s surprising. He works hard and has a bright future ahead.

For his part, Estevão thanked his coach:

I’m happy. I work hard and I’m learning a lot from him. He helps me every day.

While Rodrygo and Vinícius sometimes struggle for consistency with the national team, Estevão continues to grow in stature and is establishing himself as the new sensation of the Brazil squad.
