Di Matteo: Esteban has a maturity that belies his age, and Anshuai also likes his performance.
Chelsea's meritorious coach Di Matteo recently returned to Stamford Bridge. He directed the charity match between Chelsea Legends and Liverpool Legends. In an interview with "Goal.net", Di Matteo talked about Blues star Esteban.
He said: "Esteban will definitely become a top player! But let's not put too much pressure on him. We have seen how much progress Esteban has made in football. I saw him before the international match and he looked like a 15-year-old kid. You look at him and think, 'Has he already started playing professional football?'
" Esteban is very skilled, very fast, and his movements are unpredictable, and he can go outside or cut inside. Esteban also has a great attitude and is very mature for his age. Ancelotti also likes his performance in the Brazilian national team.
"And Esteban has family support, his parents moved here to live with him. He has a good management team, so I have no doubt that Esteban will grow into a top player, and even a world-class player."
