[Titilope Adeuja]

Brazilian and Chelsea midfielder, Willian has sounded out warning bells to their Round-16 World Cup opponents, Chile that Neymar will only get better.

Willian warned that the 22-year old is yet to hit the best form in Brazil, scoring 4 goals in three matches to help qualify the host nation for the knock-out phase.

Neymar scored a brace against Cameroon to set up a-must-win tie with Chile in Belo Horizonte on Saturday and Willian says the whole team are bearing the burden of qualifying together.

"I don't think he's even gotten started yet.

"I think that the potential that Neymar has means he can do much more for the team. Everyone knows the quality that he has. But it should be made clear that he doesn't play alone.

"It will also depend on us to play well and help him. We're always here to help him. He brings us just as much joy to play together."

He further pleaded for the dismissal of the fear of hosting and losing as Brazil hosted and lost 2-1 to Uruguay in 1950, asking for support to make Brazilians happy.

"We have to forget about the past and think only about the present.

"Thinking about today, a lot of people have this memory when Brazil lost at home (the 1950 World Cup).

"There is always going to be a lot of pressure on Brazil to win. But us players are looking to be calm and relaxed and to take this pressure and look at the positive side.

"To bring it to a place where we can use it on the pitch to make us better, playing with happiness and relaxation, giving happiness to the Brazilian fans. This is what we are looking to do until the end of the World Cup."
