Chelsea’s Brazilian starlet Robert Kenedy has described compatriot and teammate Willian as the most skilful player he has ever played with.

In an interview on the Chelsea website, the 19 year old paid tribute to the in form Willian when asked about the most skilful player he had ever played with. “I would have to say Willian,” he gushed, “he’s a very talented player and he has been very good this season.”

The ex Fluminense attacker also expanded on his favourite skill, something of a Brazilian trademark. “The Elastico”, thought to have been invented by Brazil and Fluminense legend Rivelino and perfected by Ronaldinho. “The elastic skill which Ronaldinho was so good at, Willian also does it. It’s when you put your foot on the ball, look to go one way and then go in the opposite direction. When I was young and playing with my friends that was the skill we always used to try to do.”

Kenedy reveals that his footballing education in his native Minas Gerais began early, “I was very young, probably around five or six when I played for the first time, and I’ve been playing ever since. It feels very good because it gives you a lot of confidence knowing that what you’ve been working on has paid off. Confidence comes from practicing every day.”
