​Chelsea star Willian 'doing his best' to help Brazil forget 2014

Chelsea winger Willian is doing everything he can to help his Brazilian teammates prepare for the World Cup in Russia this summer.

All of Brazil is hoping the squad will try to redeem their showing in the last competition, where they were humiliated 7-1 by Germany in the semi finals.

Willian knows what is expected of the team.

"I will do my best," he said. "You mature, you learn things. Every professional has their way of working.

"I prefer not to go back in time and talk about 2014 [World Cup] but of course, the family feel [in this squad] will be close to that of 2014 and it's important to have everyone close to us.

"It's also important to have closed training at times so we be more focused on our work."
