Chelsea is lucky to have him - Ancelotti heaps praise on Estevao

Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti has showered praises on Chelsea's teenage sensation Estevao after his impressive performance.

Estevao found the net once again for Brazil during their 2-0 victory over Senegal at the Emirates Stadium.

While Maresca has been cautious with the young star, Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti has shown no such hesitation, starting Estevao in four of his seven matches in charge of the national team.

"He’s a very talented player," Ancelotti stated after the win.

He continued, "He is able to show it every game, at Chelsea too, and he doesn’t need a lot of minutes to show his quality. He can play for five minutes and he can show his quality."

The Italian manager added, "I think the Brazil national team is really lucky to have him, and also Chelsea."

Estevao has been a constant presence in Ancelotti's squads, featuring in six of the seven games under his leadership.

Throughout the match, he was a dynamic force, linking up seamlessly with Real Madrid forwards Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo.

As the youngest regular in the Brazil starting XI, Estevao is keeping established Premier League stars like Joao Pedro, Lucas Paqueta, Richarlison, and Gabriel Martinelli on the bench.
