Estevao Willian and Cole Palmer might take a little time before they are on exactly the same wavelength at Chelsea.The future teammates met in the Blues’ 2-1 Club World Cup quarter-final win over Palmeiras and both scored to take the headlines.Palmer was back on the scoresheet, sending Chelsea to the semi-finalsAFPAnd then met his new teammate, without much luckAFPPalmer broke a nine-game scoreless streak for club and country, but as usual was his deadpan self post-match, displaying the kind of unintentional humour that’s made him one of England’s most loved footballing personalities.He was spotted having an exchange with Estevao after the final whistle, and when asked what he told his future teammate, he said: “I just said ‘we look forward to seeing you’ but he didn’t understand a word I said, apparently.”Estevao signed for Chelsea in June 2024 for a £30million fee that could reach £50m with add ons.Yet the deal sees the 18-year-old move to Stamford Bridge a year later after one final season for talent factory Palmeiras.All the evidence is that his contract add-ons will be reached after another stunning season where he eclipsed a number of Neymar’s records in Brazil’s Serie A.Giving his thoughts on the youngster, Palmer added: “Yeah he’s a top player and he’s only young as well.“When it comes to England people need to give him time to adapt to the culture and the language.“He’s still only 18, but you can see he’s got amazing quality and we look forward to seeing him.”Palmeiras have emerged as the leading side in South and North America since Portuguese manager Abel Ferreira arrived in 2020 and claimed two Copa Libertadores and two Brazilian league championships.The team have also produced a number of generational talents in that time, including Real Madrid’s Endrick and Manchester City’s Vitor Reis.View Tweet: https://t.co/MUyzN2HkMnWillian appears to be just the latest off the production line, and has the capability to be the best.So good has the attacker been that he’s even affectionately inherited the nickname ‘Messinho’ or ‘Little Messi’ referring to the Argentine legend.Messi has inflicted plenty of pain on Brazil over the years, but such is his legacy that he’s hugely respected in the nation of their biggest rivals, including by Estevao himself.The teen met his namesake in the the group stage of the Club World Cup for a 2-2 draw with Inter Miami, and was in sheer awe after picking up his shirt at half time.“He winked at me in the first half and my legs were shaking,” he said.“It was incredible, sensational. I’ve been watching Messi play since I was little. I play with him in video games.Teammates had to help Palmer talk with EstevaoGettyEstevao is heading to Chelsea with huge expectation on his shouldersAFP“It’s an incredible pleasure to be playing on the pitch with him, it was a pleasure.”He added: “He’s my idol, a reference for me, he’s sensational. I learned a lot.“When we went to half-time, I was pissed off… because we were losing, but I ran to the tunnel and swapped [my shirt] with him.”Chelsea now face Fluminense in the semi-finals of the US competition and rather than a future teammate they’ll meet a former one in 40-year-old legend Thiago Silva.Palmer is expecting more of the same against another Brazilian side, commenting: “They’re more physical and more rough so yeah it’s difficult to play against them.“We played two already now and they’re very good teams so it’s gonna be another tough game.”Watch the FIFA Club World Cup for FREE on DAZN*If you click on a link in this Box Out we will earn affiliate revenueThis year’s FIFA Club World Cup will see the top teams from around the world competing to be crowned champions.Here’s how to watch every game for free on DAZN:Sign Up: Go to the DAZN website and create a free accountSelect Your Package: Choose the free standard coverageEnjoy the Action: Watch all of the FIFA Club World Cup free on DAZNFrom Harry Kane to Erling Haaland, the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup promises to be packed with the most exciting football from the world’s top talent.Sign up to DAZN now and watch all of the FIFA Club World Cup for free
