Even if Rodrygo leaves, Guler and Camavinga are there fighting for one open starting spot as Mbappe, Bellingham, Vini, Fede and Tcho occupy other 5 starting spots.
I'm pretty sure I've said this in another thread but I think the Estevao hype is extremely over inflated and he'll be a bust. Never seen a kid get thrust into the spot light they way he did. It honestly seems a bit manufactured. Signing to Chelsea is also going to be a big mistake. But then again, I did say/think the same thing about Endrick.
Well jury is still out on both. Endrick doesn’t look as flashy as Estevao but his positioning, instincts, powerful shot, and eagerness to shoot will help him. Estevao looks more like a super talent. He is flash and style, looks spectacular when he is on the ball. Has that my Brazilian flare that people love. I’d have to say Estevao has both more potential to be elite and also to flop. Endrick’’a instincts alone should keep him scoring goals. Estevao will either be the next big thing or flop imo. Nothing in between
At least in Brazil, Estevão doesn't get half the hype Endrick got. Maybe things will change now with him being calle up for the NT. I somewhat disagree. I think Chelsea is the perfect team for players at Estevão and Endrick's levels. Estevão will be an undisputed starter and can later join a much better team on his early 20s.
Estevao for Rodrygo? Nah... there's a certain Jamal Musiala I'd rather go for. Already certified baller!! lol.. Honestly, I'd just rather Rodrygo reaches his full potential with us. Already 2 CLs at this young age. Get a couple more then you can leave lol
Endrick got the longer hype because it started when he was much younger than Estevao. Estevao randomly became this anomaly around March/April and the hype hasn't stopped. Just seems odd to me. And I hope you're joking about the Chelsea project. Its a complete dumpster fire right now. Not only that but he has a 7 yr contract. He ain't leaving in his early 20s unless he fails and Chelsea want to get rid of him. Personally I think if players like Endrick and Estevao want to get to Europe and play asap, Portugal and/or mid-table La Liga teams are best.
Not sure. Many in the media in Brazil are already calling Estevão a better talent and the best young player since Neymar.
Estevão was known at the club though . And even domestically. I think Endrick hype got bigger after he scored that wonder goal in the Junior State Cup and when Madrid starting looking at him hard and subsequently signed him.
I said this a year ago No idea who thought Estevao resembles Messi. Hes like Mahrez, just slow. And Rodrygo was already replaced by Mbappe, it was Kroos and Nacho who weren't replaced. I'd exchange Rodrygo for a midfielder like Matar Sarr tbh.
Yes, the press around the world hyped up Quaresma after Ronaldo made his debut for Manchester United. I don't know nothing about this kid, but it happened all the time.
I remember when Deulofeu and Jesé were the Spanish super talents and neither ended up hitting. I think pure talent and the future projection can open doors but once you are there it gets very tough to stay.
Not sure what you're basing these comments on. Estêvão - even with missing time through injuries - is the 2nd highest goal scorer in the entire Brazilian league as a 17-year-old winger. Palmeiras are bereft of an attack when he's unavailable. Not sure what more he could do right now to make a believer out of any doubters. That second paragraph sounds like an Endrick description way more than it sounds like an Estêvão description.
Endrick with his partner.Congratulations! 🤍 pic.twitter.com/O7CcMmtSVw— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) September 16, 2024
