A video has gone viral showing the moment 17-year-old striker Estêvão, who is set to join Chelsea next year from Palmeiras, was handed his first call-up to Brazil’s national team on Friday, August 23 by coach Dorival Júnior for two upcoming World Cup qualifiers
Estêvão scored five goals and added five assists in 19 Brazilian league matches this year while exhibiting some eye-catching dribbling skills.
Dorival Júnior, who took over as Brazil’s coach at the start of the year, left out eight players who were part of Brazil’s squad in this summer’s Copa America tournament. His team was knocked out in the quarterfinals by Uruguay.
Striker, Neymar remains out as he completes his recovery from an ACL injury he sustained last year, but Estêvão has already been tipped by some to become the next big Brazilian star. He could make his debut for the national team against Ecuador on Sept. 6, with Brazil then travelling to Paraguay four days later.
Estêvão in the video sat alongside his family members as they watched the Television. They then shouted for joy after his name was called out.
