A wave of emotion swept through Borussia Dortmund as young defender Aaron Anselmino bid farewell to the club. Images surfaced showing the player visibly moved, tears welling in his eyes as he embraced teammates – a poignant end to his time in Germany.
The departure was confirmed with stark brevity by Dortmund officials: “Centre-back Aaron Anselmino is leaving Borussia Dortmund and will return to Chelsea FC with immediate effect.” A simple thank you followed, wishing him well for the future, but doing little to soften the impact of his sudden exit.
Meanwhile, Chelsea manager Rosenior is carefully monitoring the progress of 18-year-old Estevao. The young Brazilian recently delivered a standout performance, scoring one goal and providing an assist in a 3-1 victory against Crystal Palace.
Estevao’s impact was immediate, opening the scoring at Selhurst Park and later setting up Joao Pedro to extend Chelsea’s lead. Rosenior lauded the player as a “special talent,” but stressed the importance of measured development.
The manager emphasized the need to protect Estevao from being overburdened, recognizing the delicate balance between utilizing his potential and ensuring his long-term well-being. Careful management of his playing time will be crucial.
Rosenior highlighted the support system surrounding Estevao, noting the presence of his family and the efforts of the club to help him settle. He specifically acknowledged the roles of Andrey Santos and Joao Pedro in easing the young player’s transition into a new country.
The focus remains on nurturing Estevao’s talent for sustained success. Rosenior’s approach is one of careful stewardship, aiming for not just a successful season, but a truly outstanding career for the promising Brazilian.
