Recently, Chelsea won their preseason game against Club America. During the game, Enzo Maresca noticed each and every Chelsea player.
Who is this Chelsea player?
According to ChelseaNews, Enzo Maresca has spoken out about World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez. The Argentine midfielder featured for Chelsea in their game against Club America, but his performance didn’t impress the new Italian manager.
As a result of the below-average performance, Enzo Fernandez was substituted after 45 minutes. This indicates that he is not fit to play the full 90 minutes.
Maresca’s opinion on Enzo
After the game, reporters asked Enzo Maresca about the game and Chelsea’s performance. So, he started to explain the game. Then a reporter asked about the performance of Enzo Fernandez, and the new Chelsea boss replied that the Argentine was a bit slow in the game. He also justified the statement by saying that Fernandez is not in a good shape in terms of physicality and fitness. So, he needs to train more with the first team.
The Chelsea manager believes that the game against Club America was another training session for the Argentina international. After spending the holidays, Enzo Fernandez has joined the pre-season training session. Generally, his Chelsea teammates are far ahead of him in terms of sharpness. In recent preseason games, players like Cristopher Nkunku and Marc Guiu have shined. Nkunku has scored in all preseason games. The reason is their hard work and vigorous training.
New Chelsea project
The Blues are heavily investing on young talents. After some loan spells, when these young talented players will be more matured and experienced, the club will give them a chance to play for the starting eleven. This is certainly an effective strategy for any club. The same thing has happened with a lot of Chelsea academy players such as Recce James, Fikayo Tomori, Ruben Loftus Cheek, Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount.
The first team players should be careful and give their best effort to win games for Chelsea, or else there are some seriously talented young players who are waiting for their opportunity to shine. This list includes Estevao Willian, Angelo Gabriel, Filip Jorgensen, Renato Veiga, Romeo Lavia, and many more.
After the appointment of Enzo Maresca as the new Chelsea head coach, the fans are seeing a massive change in the squad. Todd Boehly has signed new players for almost every position. This action sums up everything about Chelsea’s current situation.
No club wants to lose their talented players. Especially when the player is nurtured at the academy, it is really difficult to lose them on a free transfer because it will affect the future of the club.
Chelsea have already signed a lot of young talents, but now they need to integrate them properly into the squad. The coach has to be more decisive in his decisions because there are a lot of players who want to play for Chelsea. But he has to decide whom to include in the starting eleven and whom to bench.
Enzo’s recent performance
Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez featured in the Copa America 2024 tournament, where he helped Argentina to win the trophy. It is such a great achievement for his career. Now Enzo Fernandez has one World Cup and two Copa America trophies in his cabinet.
These achievements sum up everything for Enzo in terms of international career, but his club career is not so good. Last season he scored only three goals for Chelsea. There was a moment when Enzo was linked with other clubs and the fans also wanted to part ways with him.
Among all of these things, Enzo Fernandez has to improve his game or else he will be sidelined from this current Chelsea team.
