Despite not having much experience in football, Estevao Willian spoke very well when asked about his future at Chelsea.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Estevao<\/a> is yet to start a game in the Premier League this season, forcing him to wait for opportunities in the League Cup.<\/p>\n

\n

Breaking into a front three which consists of Morgan Rogers, Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro has proved extremely difficult, with those three papering over a lot of the cracks at Stamford Bridge so far this season.<\/p>\n

Estevao deals with questions about Chelsea future perfectly<\/h2>\n

Despite what must be clear frustration, Chelsea and Xabi Alonso<\/a> will be delighted with how Estevao dealt with some of the questions<\/a> fired his way during his time representing Brazil.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI think every coach has their own way of playing. Of course, we work every day, I give my best every day, and that\u2019s what I do. We have quality players at Chelsea.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo what I do is focus on what I can control. I try to give my best in training; when I get an opportunity, I try to give my best. It goes day after day. I try to seize every opportunity; I try to control everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

It would be very easy for the youngster to throw his toys out the pram, especially after some at the club saw Estevao as a starter<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n

Instead, the Brazil international has understood that he needs to earn his opportunities at Stamford Bridge this season, and seems motivated to do so through training and sporadic appearances.<\/p>\n

His best opportunity to make a statement to Alonso may actually come away from West London, and with the national team during this break.<\/p>\n

How can Xabi Alonso get Estevao Willian into the side? \ud83e\udd14<\/h3>\n

The Brazilian has seen very little action under his new manager\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Estevao is set to feature for Brazil in friendlies against Australia and India, which offer him a chance to build up his form after not previously taking his chances in the League Cup.<\/p>\n

He will not have the opportunity to build up a rapport with Chelsea teammate Pedro though, after the striker pulled out of the international squad<\/a> through injury.<\/p>\n

Estevao\u2019s best bet of breaking into the side is with a change of formation at Stamford Bridge, allowing four attackers to start on the pitch at the same time.<\/p>\n

This may take some time and patience, so it is good to see he has the latter at a time where outside noise has been rampant regarding his future at the club.<\/p>\n
