Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos making mark at U20 South American Championship: F*** whoever they put on the field

Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos is making his mark with Brazil at the U20 South American Championships.

Santos, 18, completed a below-the-radar £18million move to Stamford Bridge from Vasco earlier this month.

And he is now showing off his skills by captaining Brazil at the U20 South American Championships.

The young Samba Boys got off to a flyer in their first match against Peru, with Santos scoring in a 3-0 win against Peru.

But things were even better for Chelsea's new man when he netted his second of the tournament in yesterday's 3-1 victory over Argentina.

And footage has now emerged from Brazil's changing room before kick-off, showing Santos firing up his teammates with a passionate speech.

The midfielder held nothing back as he urged his side to secure victory, saying: “Our time has come, now it's time to put it on the field.

“Everyone together. F*** whoever they put on the field.

“[Brazil's subs] Next half you will come in and destroy them. Let's go together and achieve our dreams."
