Chelsea star Willian says he learned his football on the streets of Brazil.
Now 26, Willian admits he honed his craft as a street footballer.
"We played on the streets every single day," he told Chelsea Magazine. "To be honest, we didn't notice the difficulties of the bumpy surface because we didn't get to play on grass very often. For us, that's what we were used to.
"We'd create our goalposts using whatever we could, it didn't require much thought - flip-flops or maybe building bricks were most common. We'd always find a solution; we were just happy to be able to go out and play football with friends and neighbours."
