In the 35th round of the Premier League last weekend, Fulham challenged Aston Villa away, Marco Silva arranged for William to take the bench, and the Brazilian veteran became the South American player with the most appearances in Premier League history with 326 appearances.

From "desolate land" to "promised land"

As a symbol of the working class, football has been given special meaning in English society. The style of "milt football" is simple, bright and drastic, representing technical football Latin and South American players away from this dangerous place for a long time. Later, with the help of the Boseman Act, more and more Latin and South American players came to the Premier League to make gold. Mourinho, Benitez and Guardiola and other "Southern" foreign coaches flocked in, and Britain's green world quickly changed the world.

Just as the European League opened its doors to South American players, the South American League also began to mass-produce stars based on the needs of "customers". Many clubs with obvious signs of "Europeanization" appeared. Brazil's domestic representatives are Barana Athletics and Corinthian, which are rich in iron waists and wingers. William is the masterpiece of the youth training of the "Big Club". In the 2013-14 season, William joined Chelsea and started his legendary Premier League career. From winning the Premier League championship with the "Music second phase" to the continuous carry before the Madman was dismissed, from participating in the miracle of the three central defenders in the Conte era, to continuous long shots in the Champions League faced Barcelona, ​​William's Blues career is full of exciting, and fans praised this Brazilian side wing with strong tactical execution.

In the 2017/18 Champions League, Chelsea vs. Barcelona match was William's solo show.

After an unsuccessful Gunners career, William returned to his parent team Corinthian and played for two seasons, returning to the Premier League to join Fulham in the summer window of 2022. In the summer window of 2024, William transferred to Olympiax and was recalled by the "farmer" again after the winter window. Marco Silva's team cannot do without this spiritual leader, and young Brazilian players living in Europe also need the guidance of this role model.

record has been broken, and the legend continues to appear on the bench against Villa, William surpassed the former Red Devils fullback Valencia (325 times) and became the South American player with the most games in Premier League history. Considering that Marco Silva's team is currently in a state of no desires, William is expected to continue to set his record in the next final stage.
