Supervisor Palmeiras: Estewan is the final product We train players to all markets

July 2nd News: In the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup, Palmeiras will play against Chelsea. This will be a special game for 18-year-old Brazilian attacker Estewan, as he is about to face a direct confrontation with his new teammate. In June last year, Chelsea announced the signing of Estewan. It is reported that the transfer fee is 34 million euros plus 27 million euros floating. The players joined this summer.

Before the game, Palmeiras youth training director Hoo Paul Sanpaio was interviewed by FIFA, and during which he talked about Estewan. "He is a very special player. He is already a complete set of finished products, right? This finished product is ready to leave with his own talent. He likes to score and he will become a great professional player."

In recent years, Palmeiras has successively sold youth training stars to European clubs, including many giant teams, including Estewan (61 million Euro to Chelsea), Enderick (60 million Euro to Real Madrid), Rees (35 million Euro to Manchester City), Guillerme (30 million Euro to West Ham United) and Danilo (20 million Euro to Nottingham Forest). Palmeiras youth training has received a lot of praise for this.

Sanpaio continued: "The players Palmeiras trains are aimed at all markets, which is based on the diversity of our young players. When youth training players graduate, they must know how to play at least 3 positions, which is a basic requirement."

"Take Estewan as an example, he plays at the No. 10 position, but he also plays on both sides. The same is true for Rees. He is a midfielder and also retreats as a midfielder or a central defender. Palmeiras is a school, you must learn as much as possible, and when you enter university, you can decide your career."

Brazilian football has been criticized for not creating new stars for many years. , In this regard, Sanpaio commented: "Don't criticize or blame, instead, what we have to do is find the answer. People miss the past too much, but no one does practical things to change this situation. Those who miss the past are usually parents, and they don't find time to play football with their children."

"So, what we have to do is help this generation get free. Between dribbling or passing, we want young people to choose dribbling. We hope they can go back to street football and enjoy the joy of football, which is what this generation has lost. They lack sufficient flexibility. Due to frequent violence in this country, they cannot play football on the street."
