🇧🇷 Willian

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Training already?

Training's over for the day I think. He'll meet up tomorrow.

[The Skipper 20,609]

Well it's official. He's a quality addition to the squad but wasn't exactly needed. Nevertheless he gets my full support as any new Chelsea signing will get. He'll be a good player for us because he's quality, but we'll have to loan out a player (most likely Moses) for this to fully make sense to me.

Welcome to CFC Willian. Looking forward to having another fro in the team .

[Kojo 4,676]

Looking forward to seeing him in action.

Wizard of Oz surely, no?

[sepaklong 12]

IMO he is a good player. Plus, it is great to have a player who really like this club.

[Pizy 18,909]

Think he's gonna surprise quite a few teams with his quality.

Like Skipper said, not a player we were crying out for but will be an excellent addition and will certainly add a different look to our attack. Can't wait to see Willian and Hazard on opposite wings terrorizing defenses.

[John1611 77]

Looks like a taller Marcelo.

[Clevemayer 764]

welcome, now I'll sit down and you'll show to me what you can do:

[DanishBlue 426]

Yes, it's official - excellent!

I wanted Willian so much since we played against him in CL last year and even though we don't really need him I'm really happy that we signed him.

He has amazing acceleration and will be a nightmare for PL fullbacks.

Eto'o

Hazard - Mata (or Oscar) - Willian

Yes please!

[dumps 284]

I've got a horrible feeling someone big is going to be sold.

Good player but why are we buying so many attacking mids!? Jose obviously has a plan or is seeing something in our players that we aren't. And I know it'll work out well cuz Jose never makes mistakes, but it does confuse me.

[Milan 17,957]

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Bring back the good old days when Robben and Duff were Chelsea's wingers. I'm so happy we've signed Willian. Please, Jose, do us a favour and start Mata along this two wizards!

Hazard - Mata - Willian. Now we're talking business!

[The Skipper 20,609]

Eto'o

Hazard - Mata - Willian

Lampard - Ramires

Cole - JT - Luiz - Azpilicueta

Cech

Lukaku

Schurrle - Oscar - KDB

MVG - Mikel

Bertrand - Cahill - Ivanovic - Essien

Schwarzer

Wow.

WILLIAN: FIRST WORDS

Posted on: Wed 28 Aug 2013

Willian is the club's latest acquisition after today completing his move to Stamford Bridge from Anzhi Makhachkala.

Shortly after putting pen to paper, the Brazilian, who will wear the number 22 shirt, sat down with the official Chelsea website at our Cobham training ground and expressed his delight at sealing the move, as well as outlining his hopes and expectations for the season ahead…

What does it feel like to be a Chelsea player?

I've always been following Chelsea and every time I came to London I would try to see a Chelsea game and see how the team was doing because it's been my dream to come to play here. Finally it's become a reality, and when the offer came I never gave a thought to anybody else, I said to myself that I would run here, and I'm happy to be here now. Chelsea was always my first choice.

You must be looking forward to working under one of the best managers in the game?

Absolutely, it's going to be an immense pleasure to work with Jose Mourinho, listen to him and learn from him. I'm sure I'm going to grow as a professional and I'm looking forward to training. He's one of the best coaches in the world with everything he's won. I'm sure I'm going to learn a lot and improve a lot.

Have you had a chance to speak to Jose Mourinho about what is expected of you?

I've had a quick chat with him, he welcomed me to the club and told me he was happy that I was here. He told me to work hard. He said we have a very strong team but when you work hard there are rewards.

You have played in Russia, Ukraine and Brazil, but how familiar are you with the Premier League?

I've always followed the Premier League on the television and I've always had a desire to play in England because it's one of the best leagues in the world. I've seen some games live and I've been to the stadiums. It's a different league but I'm really looking forward to getting started.

Chelsea fans will remember you for the two goals you scored at Stamford Bridge in the Champions League last season, but how would you describe your style of play?

My style is that I like to dribble a lot and play with speed. I like to accelerate very fast with the ball. I'm also quite technical, I like to shoot at goal but I've also learnt to defend, which is something you have to do to help the team.

You have an impressive record in the Champions League, scoring nine goals in 34 appearances. What is your favourite memory from playing in the competition?

The most beautiful goal I scored in the Champions League was for Shakhtar against Roma in a 3-0 win in 2011. I've scored memorable goals in other competitions as well but in the Champions League I would choose that one.

As well as Chelsea, you've also played against Arsenal, Tottenham, Fulham and Newcastle in the past. How do you remember your matches against English opposition?

It was a great experience because English teams are very difficult to play against and each one has their own qualities. I remember losing against Fulham with Shakhtar, and we also lost 3-2 to Chelsea last season, but they were good experiences and I enjoyed the games.

At Shakhtar you won a number of trophies, including the Ukrainian title, Ukrainian Cup and UEFA Cup. How do you think that winning mentality will help you at a club which have become accustomed to success?

It will help me because every player has a wish to win everything they are competing for. I've won a lot of trophies in Ukraine, which is a wonderful feeling, but Chelsea are a great club who are used to winning trophies. My aim is to help Chelsea keep this winning mentality and to win as many trophies as we can. All we want is to win trophies and be successful.

What are your aims for the season, both on an individual and collective level?

I intend to help the team as much as I can in order to be successful. I want to train hard, work hard and give everything to earn my place in the side. This is a very strong team with great players. I hope I am going to start matches very strongly and help the team do the best we can, whether that's through scoring goals, creating chances or defending. I'm sure with the squad we have we will have a great season ahead of us with many trophies to come.

With the World Cup in your home country to come at the end of the season, are you hoping your performances for Chelsea can help you earn a place in the Brazil squad?

That is definitely another aim of mine, to win my place in the squad and go to the World Cup. I will have to work hard for Chelsea to show what I am capable of, and I'm sure if I do that I will have the opportunity to be called up by the national team as a consequence. That applies to every player; if you work hard and perform well for your club, you will get those opportunities, and if the chance arrives I want to be ready to take it with both hands.

[CrayzayBarnet 126]

He looked a real player against us In the champions league, would absolutely love him to score the winner against the scum

[Melanicus 5,208]

"Finally it's become a reality, and when the offer came I never gave a thought to anybody else, I said to myself that I would run here, and I'm happy to be here now. Chelsea was always my first choice."

Instant fan favorite.
