Enzo Fernandez has been making waves since both Chelsea and Argentina have seen his relentless performances. He has worked rate and leadership down to the tee, and has quickly become indispensable. Enzo is always around, serving as the Blues’ midfield enforcer or a thorn in the side for Argentina, whether he’s doing so or not, he’s always ready.

His latest display? A commanding 90-minute shift against Uruguay in a World Cup qualifier. With most people still snoozing through their alarms, Enzo was doing his thing out there pulling the strings to gather praise for his ‘tireless’ work in midfield from Argentine media. Honesty, if I ran as much in a week as he does in a match, I’d be looking at a party on my smartwatch.
Enzo Fernandez: Leading Chelsea’s Charge
Enzo Fernandez has since joined Chelsea for a jaw-dropping £106 million in January 2023 and since has improved. His performance this season under Enzo Maresca has been his best to date—five goals, nine assists and looking bloody fancy in 35 appearances.
With his leadership qualities, he is not just a midfield maestro; he has also come out as a leader. Enzo has not been afraid of putting his hand up and taking responsibility, and he has pridefully worn the armband in the absence of club captain Reece James. Chelsea fans have been quick to hail his maturity and composure, and the Argentine media aren’t the only ones noticing.
Then it is obvious , when Real Madrid link you and your club still will not let you go… you’re doing something right.
Fernandez: A Star on the International Stage
Good enough to have international duty, Enzo Fernandez doesn’t just turn up; he excels. That performance against Uruguay was a clarion call to it. The Argentina World Cup defense was kept on track by partnering with Alexis Mac Allister and Leandro Paredes, and he dictated the tempo.
However, TYC Sports wrote that they rated the player a strong 7/10, owing to his desire to score and his control of midfield. That would have been a career aside for anyone else. For Enzo, it was just another day in the office.
And if you think he’s slowing down, you would be wrong. Next up? A blaze towards his bitter rivals Brazil, whom he’ll face with the same sort of childlike glee that lets him loose among the masses of candy stores.
