Ancelotti Hails Chelsea’s Estevao Willian as Brazil’s Next World Cup Superstar
Brazil assistant coach Davide Ancelotti has tipped Chelsea teenager Estevao Willian to shine at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States. Ancelotti praised the 18-year-old’s technical skill and calm finishing on BBC Radio 5 Live. Estevao made his senior Brazil debut at just 17 and has since scored five goals in 11 appearances. Ancelotti described him as “a really big talent” who can dominate in Europe and on the global stage. Brazil faces Morocco, Haiti and Scotland in Group C from June 13 to 24, 2026. The five-time champions will lean on emerging stars like Estevao to bolster their title defence.
