Oscar Urges Chelsea Fans to Be Patient with Estevão Willian

Former Chelsea and Brazilian star Oscar has called on Blues supporters to show patience with new signing Estevão Willian, stressing that the teenage sensation needs time to adapt to European football.

Speaking on The Obi One Podcast, Oscar highlighted the challenges South American talents face when making the leap to Europe and advised fans not to judge Estevão too quickly.

“He’s good. He has the dribbling. He likes to score goals. He has a lot of talent,” Oscar said.

“Need to give him time and give him time to adapt in Europe. It’s not easy to arrive there. I think he goes to one of the best teams in Europe, so let’s see what happens in these next two or three years.”

Oscar’s remarks come after another ex-Chelsea midfielder, Ramires, praised the youngster, describing him as a hardworking lad who has what it takes to thrive at Stamford Bridge.

Opinion: Patience Could Unlock a Gem

Chelsea’s recent history has been a mix of instant expectations and long-term projects. Fans often demand immediate results, but players like Estevão—just 17—need more than raw talent; they need time, support, and trust to flourish.

Oscar’s advice is both realistic and wise. Brazilian players often carry flair, but adjusting to the pace and physicality of European football is a process. Rushing Estevão with pressure could hinder his development, but nurturing him with patience may produce another Stamford Bridge legend.

As Chelsea rebuilds under a youthful project, Estevão could be a cornerstone of that future—if fans are willing to wait.
