Enzo Fernandez has not been idle during this international break. The Argentinian played 56 minutes with the Albiceleste against Mauritania on March 28. He also scored a goal in the 2-1 victory. Then, on April 1, he continued with 75 minutes of play in the 5-0 defeat against Zambia. But the midfielder also took advantage of this international window to occupy the media field and send a few messages here and there, especially concerning his future. “No, honestly, nothing. Zero discussion. For now we are focusing on Chelsea and what remains of the last matches of the season, and we will see after the World Cup.he explained upon his arrival at the airport when he joined his national team.

Then, he did it again on Monday. “I would like to live in Spain. I really like Madrid, it reminds me of Buenos Aires. I would live in Madrid. A player can live wherever he wants. I get by in English, but it would be better in Spanish. » This Thursday, the Chelsea player once again made small appeals to the Casa Blanca. He reaffirmed his wish to one day live in Madrid and admitted that the two players he had the most difficulty defending were Toni Kroos and Luka Modric. In Spain, certain media, including El Chiringuitosee it as a new declaration towards the Merengue club. What is certain is that the former Benfica player’s little game is starting to make people cringe.

The locker room can’t take any more of the 25-year-old Argentinian

At the start of the week, we explained to you that the English press and Blues supporters were annoyed by Enzo Fernandez’s communication strategy. But they are not the only ones to be quite annoyed by the attitude of the 2022 world champion. This Thursday, the Telegraph reveals that Chelsea players don’t really hold the Argentinian in their hearts. They are not at all convinced by the leadership of the midfielder while the club is going through a rather complicated period. His comments after the elimination against PSG, where he sowed doubt about his future, caused a stir. But it was above all his vehement criticism in the locker room after the shock against Paris, but also after the matches against Newcastle and Everton last month, which were not to the taste of his partners.

The latter do not appreciate his criticisms and his reprimands on and off the field. Which, however, goes hand in hand with his role as leader and vice-captain. THE Telegraph cites as an example his very limited behavior against Filip Jorgensen, guilty of an error in the first leg against PSG. Enzo Fernandez threw the match ball at him and scolded him severely. What is not new on his part ensures the Telegraphwhich indicates that he has already been accustomed to doing so with other Blues players. They will not regret his departure if he ever leaves. In recent weeks, the leads leading to PSG and Real Madrid have been put forward by various media. Enzo Fernandez is riding on this by multiplying ambiguous declarations about his future.
