In the future, Rodrygo may have to take on Estevao Willian, perhaps if Real Madrid meet Chelsea in the Champions League.

However, while part of the Brazil national team, it looks like Rodrygo plans to help Estevao Willian.

Estevao made his Brazil debut in the early hours of Saturday morning, coming on in a 1-0 win against Ecuador.

Understandably, Estevao was quite emotional, but Rodrygo looks set to teach the Palmeiras winger how to handle big occasions like the one earlier and much more.

Rodrygo promises to take Estevao Willian under his wing

Rodrygo is only 23, so he is still quite a young player himself. However, he has amassed a lot of experience at Real Madrid and played 28 times for Brazil.

As a result, the forward feels he is in a position to help Estevao by passing on some of his experience to the 17-year-old, who is set to join Chelsea in 2025.

Speaking to Lance! after Brazil’s 1-0 win against Ecuador, Rodrygo said: “Regardless of age, I know I’m very young, I’m only 23, but I end up being the most experienced of the group.

“You see Estevao at 17, Henrique at 18. So, they are very young boys, so even though I’m young, I can pass on some of this experience to them.”

Those in the game are confident that Estevao can become a star following his decision to join Chelsea.

When could Estevao Willian make his first start for Brazil?

Brazil’s next game is against Paraguay on Wednesday, so Estevao could make his first start for the Selecao then.

If not, there is another international break next month. Brazil will take on Chile and Peru, giving Estevao more opportunities to make his full debut if it does not come next week.

Now a full Brazil international at 17, it certainly will arrive. It is just about timing at this point.

As for his debut at Stamford Bridge, that could come next year when he officially joins Chelsea. The club, though, will have to decide whether to throw him straight into Enzo Maresca‘s first-team squad or send the attacker out on loan to get regular game time.

The new Chelsea manager may not be able to offer Estevao that straight away because of all of the attacking options that he currently has.
