International career

As a member of the under-20 Brazil team, Willian made his debut in the 2007 South American Youth Championship against Chile on 7 January 2007, which Brazil went on to win.[61] In 2007, he was also selected for the FIFA U-20 World Cup, but Brazil were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Spain.

On 10 November 2011, Willian made his senior debut for Brazil in a friendly match against Gabon.[62] On 16 November 2013, he scored his first international goal in a 5–0 win over Honduras in Miami, Florida.[63]

On 7 May 2014, Willian was selected as part of the 23-man squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[64] He came on at half-time in extra time of the round of 16 match against Chile in Belo Horizonte for his Chelsea teammate Oscar, and took a penalty in the shootout which he put wide of the goal, although Brazil nonetheless advanced.[65]

At the 2015 Copa América, Willian assisted Roberto Firmino's decisive goal in the 2–1 win over Venezuela in Santiago, a result which sent Brazil into the quarter-finals as group winners.[66]

Style of play

A fast, agile, hard-working and technically gifted player, Willian is known for his quick feet, acceleration, and explosive style of play, which allows him to dribble past opponents at speed whilst keeping close control of the ball; in typically Brazilian style, he has also been known to pull off feints and tricks, such as the elastico, in order to confuse and beat defenders.[67][68][69][70] He primarily plays as a winger or as an attacking midfielder,[71][72][73] and his high stamina, vision and creativity enables him to link-up play between the deeper midfielders and the forwards, and create goalscoring chances.[69][72] During the 2015–16 season, while at Chelsea, he showed his prowess at direct free-kicks,[74] with almost all his goals coming from set pieces.[72] In his third season, however, with the usually effective Eden Hazard not scoring any goals, Willian improved the statistics of his attacking game, which led many to call him Chelsea's top performer of the season.[71][75]

Personal life

Willian is married to Vanessa Martins. They have twin daughters, Valentina and Manuella.[76][77][78]

In April 2016, Willian was named in the Panama Papers.[79]

On 13 October 2016, Willian's mother, Borges, died at the age of 57. During the game against the Premier League champions, Leicester City, his teammates Diego Costa and Eden Hazard dedicated their goals to Willian and his mother.[80] Along with his teammates, his manager, Antonio Conte also dedicated their victory to Willian and his family.[81]
