Chelsea’s head coach, Enzo Maresca has explained why his second team captain, Enzo Fernandez might not get to feature in most Premier League games.
The Italian was speaking in a pre-match press conference where he was asked about Enzo Fernandez’s place in the team as the 2024/25 season progresses in the Premier League. According to him, the Argentine gives something different from what the duo of Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo brings to the team.
“I still trust Enzo Fernandez, there’s no reason I can lose confidence on him. He’s gonna play many games for sure. The reason he isn’t playing in the Premier League is because I made a different decision. My confidence is 100% with Enzo.”
He added,
Romeo Lavia and Caicedo give us physicality, strength in the middle. When we play with Enzo, it has to be Enzo and one between Moi and Romeo. When Enzo moves we struggle in the middle with physicality. In this moment, Moi and Romeo give us this”.
Enzo Fernandez is one of the most criticised players among the current Chelsea team but there is still room for him in other competitions.
