Chelsea, Maresca flies to the aid of Enzo Fernandez

Chelsea captain in the absence of Reece James, Enzo Fernandez is being heavily criticized. Disappointing this Sunday against Manchester City, in the context of the first day of the Premier League (2-0 defeat), the Argentinian midfielder has been singled out for a few weeks and the title celebrated in Copa América with Argentina where he had launched racist chants.

However, the Argentinian central midfielder can count on the support of his coach Enzo Maresca who does not hesitate to defend him.

” He’s not the only captain, but he is today. I see his teammates, they love him as a player and as a man. We all make mistakes sometimes. The important thing is to acknowledge them and that’s over. I made mistakes in the past and I acknowledged them. You’re not going to be punished for the rest of your life,” he said after the defeat against Manchester City in front of journalists.

Rebound expected in Conference League

Enzo Fernandez and Chelsea got off to a bad start to the league season at home, losing 2-0 to Manchester City. The Blues will have the opportunity to bounce back this Thursday in the Europa Conference League play-off first leg against Swiss club Servette.

A match that could give Maresca’s men confidence before the second day of the Premier League this Sunday against Wolverhampton.
