Chelsea winger Willian has talked about his
playing style, and insisted that we wants to be
more like his hero, Brazil star Ronaldinho. It's a curious comparison - while both players are
Brazilian attacking midfielders, their playing style
couldn't really be more dissimilar. Ronaldinho is all flair, with amazing touch, control and
technique. For a while at his peak he was also a
speedy, but the majority of his career has been spent
well below full fitness. Willian on the other hand is all hard work, tackling
back and pressing up the pitch. He has his moments of
flair - as we saw when he used Ronaldinho's
trademark elastico in Brazil's friendly against Turkey -
but he generally uses his pace to beat his man. Speaking to the Chelsea website, Willian revealed how he admired Ronaldinho's change of pace: . "Ronaldinho is one of my favourite players. He is
somebody I have always looked up to. Sometimes
when you watch him you see him dribble with the ball
quickly, to use his acceleration and skill together to
inject speed into a move. "Other times you see he is very steady and calm with
the ball. He slows it down, and then with a bit of magic
he does something special. That sort of style is part of
the Brazilian culture." Willian admitted earlier this month that he needs to
score more goals, and he will have the perfect
opportunity against West Brom on Saturday. Will Faulks 19 Hours Ago Chelsea Star Wants To Emulate.
