Willian News

Willian made an impressive debut against Fulham on Saturday and had two assists in the side`s 3-0 win at Craven Cottage. Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta heaped praise on their new signing and said his hunger for more accolades had made him switch from Chelsea to the Gunners. In August, Willian signed a three-year deal with Arsenal on a free-transfer after ending his seven-year-long association with Chelsea.

Willian has signed a three-year deal ahead of the 2020-21 season of the Premier League In 2013, the winger joined Chelsea and made 339 appearances in his seven years with the club Willian, who made his international debut in 2011, has also made 70 appearances for Brazil and scored nine goals

Chelsea suffered a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Valencia on Wednesday in the Champions League. 

Brazil international Willian struck with a delightful side-footed volley from distance seven minutes from time to double his tally after converting a first-half penalty.

Salomon Rondon, Ayoze Perez and Christian Atsu all had chances on the break but could not find an equaliser for former Chelsea boss Rafael Benitez.

Brazil's World Cup quarter-final against Belgium will pit two of Chelsea's best midfielders against each other but Brazil's Willian told reporters that he will be doing everything he can to send his teammate Eden Hazard home early from Russia.

"We have to remember those players who made history. I don't want to replace someone's name, I want my name to be beside theirs. Our focus here is the collective game," Jesus, Brazil's 21-year-old star, has said.

If anything summed up Brazil`s new approach under coach Tite, it was his celebration of the fact that they committed only eight fouls in Sunday`s 3-0 friendly win over Austria.

Brazil midfielder Willian believes that his side cannot make any mistakes at the upcoming Football World Cup at Russia if Brazil wanted to win its record sixth title.

The Brazilian`s fine goal was not enough for victory in a compelling last 16, first-leg at Stamford Bridge as Lionel Messi pounced after a defensive mistake by Chelsea to earn Barca a 1-1 draw which has left the fascinating tie evenly poised.

Willian bagged two and Olivier Giroud scored his first goal for the club since joining from London rivals Arsenal, while Pedro was also on target for Antonio Conte's dominant side. 

Antonio Conte`s Chelsea were five minutes away from suffering a major blow to their hopes of defending the title after falling behind to Mohamed Salah`s opener at Anfield.

Brazilian Willian opened scoring in the early stages of the game for the Premier League champions. 

Antonio Conte`s side remain six points clear of second-placed Liverpool heading into 2017.

Mourinho rates the 28-year-old Willian highly, and believes his free running skills and pace could be a vital asset as he attempts to rebuild Manchester United.

Oscar, Willian and Diego Costa scored the goals at a sodden Selhurst Park as champions Chelsea recorded their first win since the sacking of Jose Mourinho.

Chelsea went ahead with a Marcano Sierra own goal and didn't look back from there after Willian netted in the second to win the game for his side.

The 27-year-old believes he can take his game to an even higher level as he enters his peak years.

Brazil kick-started their South American World Cup qualifying campaign with a 3-1 victory over Venezuela as Chile, Ecuador and Uruguay posted their second wins and Argentina gained their first point.

Brazil would be content to secure a 1-0 victory over Venezuela in their home 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Tuesday, midfielder Willian said.
