The 17-year-old Palmeiras youngster, Estonwan, who has already been signed by Chelsea, has made his first appearance in the Brazilian national team. Estonwan hopes not to disappoint the expectations of others, and he also spoke highly of his national teammate Vinicius, considering him the best player in the world.
Estonwan stated that football is a sport akin to an amusement park for him, “I feel happy and relaxed in this game. I am very happy to be selected for the national team, continue playing happily, and hope to start a great career.”
At the beginning of the year, Estonwan was promoted to Palmeiras’ first team. He believes that the experience of young players and professional players is entirely different, and his physical fitness cannot compare with other players, but he is fortunate to have received help from many people.
Regarding his first call-up to the national team, Estonwan said, “In the past few months, I have grown a lot and demonstrated my level to the outside world. Everyone is looking forward to my debut with the Brazilian team, and I am determined to serve the national team and live up to everyone’s expectations.”
Then, Estonwan talked about Vinicius and Neymar, “Vinicius makes me nervous; he is the best player in the world, he is my goal and role model, and I hope to learn from him. Neymar is also one of my idols, and I admire him very much.”
Estonwan believes that his one-on-one ability is strong and hopes to help the team with goals or assists, “I hope to make progress every day, and I enjoy football very much.”
