“This is what happens when you play for Man Utd, you become neglected and disrespected as you are now a loser with nothing to show for. Estevao feels like a winner already playing for Chelsea and definitely sees Casemiro as a bum. can’t blame him.”

“I see many people laughing in the comments. This is not funny, Casemiro is a bad guy. You will never see Thiago Silva do something like this. If you are too old, then you leave the national team.”

Carlo Ancelotti praised Estevao
Brazil national team manager Carlo Ancelotti praised the Chelsea youngster before the match, hailed him as one of the best talents in football and compared him to Vinicius Jr.
“Yes. I think modern football has lost a bit of that type of player, who plays inside, as a midfielder. Football has more wingers, strong, fast, that type of player,” he said as quoted by Ge Globo.
“Estevao has a lot of quality and can also play inside. As we’re seeing in training. Raphinha, Vinicius, [Gabriel] Martinelli, they also play very well inside. That’s what modern football demands.”
