Brazilian legend Pele believes that Chelsea’s newest addition Oscar has the quality to make an immediate impact at the west London club and help fire us to the Premier League title.
The three-time World Cup winner managed to remove his lips from Neymar’s backside for five minutes in order to praise one of Brazil’s other stars during the London 2012 Olympic competition. The Seleção did not manage to win the competition and Oscar himself missed an easy header which would have taken the final to extra-time against Mexico, but he had a brilliant tournament as his side won a silver medal.
When he was asked if Oscar could help the Blues win the title, he replied:
“Of course he can.”
He continued to praise the 20-year-old’s ability whilst remarking that one of his biggest strengths is the fact that he’s a team player:
“Oscar is excellent.
“Neymar is more of an individual, but Oscar is a player who plays for the team.”

Oscar earned the plaudits during his Olympic campaign, the first time many of us have had a proper look at him, by making a few assists, showing off his skill & passing range, and linking up with Neymar to score his only goal of the tournament against Belarus. Following that goal Oscar cheekily said that he hopes he gets used to scoring at Old Trafford, where the game was played, but has also says making goals for his team-mates is what he enjoys most and that could prove vital.
It’s still early days for Roberto Di Matteo’s side as he attempts to blend the new additions with the existing playing staff and there’s a lot of work that needs to be done, but one thing I have noticed during preseason and yesterday’s Community Shield is that we don’t get the ball from back to front quickly enough, so by the time the likes of Eden Hazard or Juan Mata get the ball they’re surrounded and Fernando Torres is isolated.
I’m not sure what plans Di Matteo has for Oscar and I’m sure it will take him some time to settle in, we will of course be patient with the youngster, but I’m wondering if he will be deployed a little deeper than his position for Brazil and provide the sort of service that we had hope Luka Modric would provide when we were chasing him. Only time will tell. One thing is for sure, we have a quality player on our hands.
What are your expectations of Oscar?

all i want frm chelsea is to allow mata to rest,cause it’s obvious during our game on sunday that he is tired and need rest.Again,Chelsea should rest terry untill he get over his current problems which we all know.we should pls sign new defencive midfielder in the person of fellani.lastly,we should inject osca into our midfield as a matter of urgency.God bless chelsea.
let,s play oscar behind d striker,he is not a player to’b’ benched b cos he got finish pass nd he,s creative
We jst nd 2 strong defensive mid flders if we are to compete this season , so we have player doing the dirty job so our defence wont be facing much pressure , and our attackers wont keep on marking insted of attacking
Azpiliceuta, cahill, terry, cole. Moses, remires, oscar, matar. Hazard, torres. Bench: marin, mikel, ivanovic, luiz, sturidge, cavani.
The blues will be the team to watch this season.

Tosin what you just said is no where near what you are asked to comment about. You have the right to believe what you want.
mikel is still the best dm in our team, dont blame him 4 our loose 2 man city bcos he played better than terry, ivanovc who in my opinon kill the match wit stupid red card, esien cannot be trusted 2 played as dm in our team anymore, rememba chelsea vs liverpool last season and terry is now making some mistakes, i will prefer luiz nd cahil as our cd 4 now.
Vince why are you blaming Mikel alway, let me ask you prefect in your own profession? Or do think it is easy play football? Stop blaming and enjoy your game cos you are not the coach to beanch him.
