CHELSEA fans believe the club could be successful again after seeing Estevao Willian and Kendry Paez face off in South America.
The two young stars are set to join Chelsea in the summer of 2025 but are already representing their nations.
Brazil won the World Cup qualifier 1-0 thanks to a goal from Real Madrid’s Rodrygo in the 30th minute.
Estevao and Paez both saw plenty of action as they came on in the second half.
Paez, 17, replaced Jeremy Sarmiento in the 46th minute and saw plenty of the ball with 41 touches.
He completed 83 per cent of his 35 passes but lost possession eight times.
