A video capturing the heartwarming moment when 17-year-old striker Estêvão received his first call-up to Brazil’s national team has gone viral. Estêvão, who is set to join Chelsea next year from Palmeiras, was selected by coach Dorival Júnior on Friday, August 23, for Brazil's upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
This season, Estêvão has been in stellar form, scoring five goals and providing five assists in 19 Brazilian league matches, showcasing his impressive dribbling skills. Dorival Júnior, who took over as Brazil’s coach earlier this year, made significant changes to the squad, leaving out eight players who were part of Brazil's Copa America team. Despite this, Estêvão’s inclusion is seen as a nod to his potential as the next big star in Brazilian football.
Neymar, who is still recovering from an ACL injury, was not included in the squad, but Estêvão is already being touted as a future star. He could make his debut in Brazil’s matches against Ecuador on September 6 and Paraguay on September 10.
In the viral video, Estêvão is seen sitting with his family, anxiously watching television. As his name is announced, the room erupts in joy, capturing a moment of pure elation for the young talent and his loved ones.
