Brazilian forward Estevao happens to score his initial goal for Chelsea using a bicycle kick, and the celebration seems to resonate profoundly with the club's fans.
In a thrilling display of skill and flair, 18-year-old winger Estevao scored his first-ever goal for Brazil in a 3-0 victory against Chile. The goal, a breathtaking bicycle kick, not only marked Estevao's competitive debut for the Selecao but also saw him become Brazil's second-youngest competitive goal scorer after the legendary Pele.
The goal, a result of a deflected shot from the goalkeeper, was met with jubilant celebrations, with teammate Joao Pedro joining in the festivities. The duo's camaraderie has been a highlight of the team, with fans affectionately referring to them as the "Blues brothers."
Fans were ecstatic about Estevao's performance, with one declaring, "Love the bromance," and another adding, "That goal was pure class." Social media was abuzz with praise for Estevao's goal and celebration, with one fan noting, "I was up and applauding."
Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti was equally impressed, admitting that Estevao's bicycle kick was a quick reaction and calm finish. He went on to say that the young winger will be crucial for Brazil going forward. Ancelotti regularly tunes in to watch Chelsea for his and Joao Pedro's talents, as the latter has had a similar early impact for the club, scoring five goals since joining from Brighton.
Estevao joined Chelsea this summer from Palmeiras and has quickly become a fan favorite at Stamford Bridge. His impressive performances for both club and country have earned him the title of a cult figure for Selecao supporters.
It's worth mentioning that prior to this game, Estevao had not scored for Brazil despite playing five times. However, his debut goal against Chile was a testament to his talent and potential. The youngest Brazilian to score in a FIFA World Cup at the age of 18 years and four months against Chile is EstΓͺvΓ£o, a feat that further underscores Estevao's promising career.
In conclusion, Estevao's bicycle kick goal against Chile was more than just a football moment; it was a statement of his talent and potential. As he continues to impress for both Chelsea and Brazil, it's clear that we are witnessing the birth of a new footballing star.
