Alejandro Garnacho quickly discovered the requirement of training in Chelsea. Recruited for 46 million euros in the last days of the summer transfer window, the Argentinian winger had not had preparation with Manchester United, since he had been dismissed by the current coach of the Red Devils, Ruben Amorim. Inevitably in lack of rhythm, he suffered from his first session with the Blues. At the end of training, he recognized with a member of the club's media team according to The Mirror :: “I can't move my legs anymore, guy”before adding: “I shaped on the last one. »» A confession that illustrates its state of form, when it was not retained with Argentina for this international truce.

In London, Enzo Maresca hopes that his new player will quickly regain sufficient physical condition to bring his quality in attack. The Italian coach also said what he expected from him: “When we are looking for a winger, we are looking for someone who is strong in one, who knows how to attack and create things. Jamie Gittens, who arrived this summer from Dortmund, corresponds to this profile, and we will see with Garnacho. He is a good winger in one-of-the-one and he can create. This is my vision of things. »» Enough to place Garnacho in the face of a clear challenge: to get back quickly to impose itself as a creative weapon of the blues. With the arrivals of João Pedro, East of Liam Delap (injured), among others, competition will be tough in London this season.
