UCL: What Maresca Said About Estevao After Chelsea's 3-0 Win Against Barcelona

Chelsea coach Maresca says 18-year-old Estevao must avoid undue pressure and enjoy development after scoring in 3-0 win over Barcelona, appearing in just four league games this season.

  • On Tuesday, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca selected Estevao as Chelsea beat Barcelona 3-0 at Stamford Bridge, calling it probably the most difficult game of the season.
  • Maresca has stressed he is protecting the youngster, noting Estevao has started just four league games this season, and said Chelsea's game plan defines the first 11 with Pedro Neto covering wide positions.
  • The winger's solo effort came 10 minutes after half-time, beating two defenders before lashing the ball into Joan Garcia's net for his 10th goal of the season.
  • Maresca moved quickly to ease the pressure, urging Estevao to relax and enjoy football, while Chelsea supporters serenaded him on Tuesday as he called it the `best moment` of his career.
  • Maresca warned that comparisons with global greats risk piling pressure on 18-year-olds like Estevao and Lamine Yamal, adding Estevao will play when the game plan suits him.
