After the Champions League match against Barcelona (3:0), Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca said that young players Esteavao and Lamine Yamal can replace Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
“Many believe that within the next 10-15 years, Estevao and Yamal will be the new Messi and Ronaldo. I agree with that. Both of them are 18 years old, they are showing an incredible game. Now they need to enjoy football and progress.”
“That’s why it’s probably not worth constantly talking about Messi and Ronaldo and setting them as an example. The players should stay calm,” said Maresca.
Estevao scored 5 goals and made 1 assist this season, Yamal has 6 goals and 8 assists.
