I can't resist a line about Chelsea's winger Estevao, he really is exceptional. Only a tiny number of players can produce this particular special effect. If you get a chance whether at Stamford Bridge, or while watching a game on TV, close your eyes and listen to the sound of the crowd when Estevao gets the ball in the final third.

It is the purified sound of expectation, excitement and support from an entire stadium. Very few can make that happen just by getting the ball.

‌It is probably best to shut your eyes when watching it back on record as you might just miss yet another incredibly imaginative piece of brilliance from the wonderkid if you try this approach live.

‌He was at it again for Brazil against Senegal at the weekend. I'd pay to watch him warm up and while he might not be the best player in the Premier League (...yet), he may well already be the most enjoyable to watch.
