"There are some players I always watched - various players who I knew hit the ball well," Willian told uefa.com.

"Ronaldinho and David Beckham, they took free-kicks and took them very well, so there are some players I always try to follow and to learn important things from so that I am able to score goals."

Chelsea are 23 points adrift of leaders Leicester City and 17 behind the final Champions League qualifying spot, but can stretch their unbeaten Premier League run to 10 in a row if they avoid defeat at home to lowly Newcastle United on Saturday.
