Branislav Ivanovic tips Willian to star for Brazil at the World Cup

Branislav Ivanovic tips his Chelsea teammate Willian to star for Brazil at the World Cup.

Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic has tipped teammate Willian to be the difference-maker for Brazil at the World Cup.

The Serbian international was part of the team that were beaten 1-0 by Luiz Felipe Scolari's men on Friday evening in Sao Paulo, and he believes that the attacking midfielder will be one of the stars for the host nation.

The Daily Mail quotes him as saying: "Willian is a great player. He has that ability to make the difference all of the time. He refreshed the team when he came on [against Serbia].

"He was pushing it forward, moving it faster but still working really hard defensively. There's no doubt he can make a big difference.

"Oscar is brilliant as well though, They both give Brazil and Chelsea a lot."

Willian signed for Chelsea from Anzhi Makhachkala for around £32m last summer.
