Chelsea youngster Estevao has spoken about the effective man-management skills of his national team boss Carlo Ancelotti, after the Brazil head coach allowed him to miss training to take his driving test.

Nicknamed 'Messinho' by fans, the 18-year-old underlined his youth when he revealed how he had been allowed to skip his footballing duties to get his licence.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Estevao said: 'We were in Sao Paulo with the national team. It was because things were very hectic, I only had a little time there before coming here (to England) so I needed to get my driver’s license.
