The good moment of Fulham, which seeks to establish itself in the elite and stop being an elevator team, has many fathers; the blackboard of Marco Silva, the thefts of the pickpocket Joao Palhinha, the last goals of Raúl Jiménez and the dances, to the rhythm of samba that are marked by Willian Borges and Andreas Pereira.

The former Valencia and Granada player forms, together with the former Chelsea and Arsenal player, the fastest partnership in West London. From the South West, to be neat, with the exact location of Craven Cottage. The last two wins coming from beating both Nottingham Forest and West Ham 5-0 bear his signature.


The two Brazilian internationals are having a remarkable season. Andreas Pereira, who acts as a midfielder in Marco Silva's 1-4-2-3-1, has a more creative role: he has one goal and five assists in 16 games. For his part, Willian, who plays on the left, boasts of his punch: at 35 years old! He has four goals and one assist in 15 games.


There is more. Andreas Pereira is the eighth player who generates the most scoring chances in the Premier and the fifth who has taken the most corner kicks. Willian, on the other hand, stands out in sending shots into the area he is the eighth player in the English League who has served the most crosses. It is worth remembering that both were already key in saving the cottagers last season. Such is the connection that Andreas Pereira and Willian have that they finished with the same figures: five goals -only Mitrovic scored more and six assists, more than any of his teammates.

A society that transcends green


Willian and Andreas Pereira look for each other and understand each other without looking at each other on the 'green' of Craven Cottage. They play by memory. However, they have known how to carry that good vibes off the field as well. Andreas Pereira himself was in charge of revealing it through a curious story. A few weeks ago I was at Willian's house and he asked me who I really admired. I answered that I had always liked Kaká for his style of play and he told me that he liked him. I knew and that I was going to call him.
