Enzo Fernandez 2023 – Welcome to Chelsea | Skills, Goals, Assists & Tackles | HD

Great player, but that's crazy money. It reminds me of when Arsenal bought Torreira after seeing him in the world cup, and he was similarly impressive in Serie A – except Arsenal didn't make him the most expensive PL signing ever.

For now anybody complaining or criticizing Enzo is jealous. Let's wait and see what he brings to the table in PL before we criticize and talk rubbish. After all posting a comment is free.

Vale mas.. !!!!!!

A phenomenon football talent. Pure midfield maestro! 🇦🇷🔥

Porto fan here but for the ignorants saying Enzo is "normal" player (not arguing if it worths 120m or not, but thinking about Lukaku, João Felix, Grealish, Maguire, Antony transfer fees…i think it may worth it) because he is a complete midfielder:

– A pass master, a box-to-box midfielder, a deep-lying playmaker, a offensive playmaker, a tough-tackling ball-winner, can adapt easy on any team or system.

– He is footballing chameleon; without the ball, he possesses great defensive attributes and instincts and can often be found using his intensity and aggression to win the ball back for his side. However, his superb quality on the ball means that he is also a real threat in possession and is a midfielder who can bring the team up the pitch and into the attacking third through the use of his expansive passing range.

– He lead the Primeira Liga for most touches with 1390, has completed by far the most open-play passes with 1067 (212 more than any other player) and has completed the most open-play progressive passes with 79, showing that his passing isn’t simply for passing sake, but instead used as a vehicle to progress his side up the pitch and into attacking zones. He is currently averaging 96.4 successful passes per 90 minutes, 20 passes more than any other Primeira Liga midfielder. To contextualise how rare this is, across the top five European Leagues since 2018-19, the only midfielder to play 1000+ minutes and average more passes per 90 minutes in a season has been Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti. (97.7 in 2020-21 and 96.6 in 2022-23). It’s not just the sheer volume of passes Fernández makes, but more crucially it’s his ability to pick the right pass at the right time. He uses his short passing range to dictate proceedings and keep the team moving whilst they patiently wait for an opening against what is often a stubborn, deep opposition defence. He is like a sneaky player. In a good way. A fox.

– Due to his deep starting position on the pitch, he doesn’t provide bundles of assists (just two from open play this season) but he is still very much heavily involved in the build-up to goals, often providing a killer pass to progress. He ranks first in the entire league for most attacking sequence involvements per 90 minutes and ranks third in the league for secondary chances created.

– His versatility and confidence in both the defensive and attacking areas of the pitch are part of why he is so highly rated. It’s especially rare to see a midfielder have so much technical quality on the ball but be so aggressive and defensively astute without it. Without the ball, he is more than capable of performing at the highest level. In the UEFA Champions League, we see this midfield chameleon operating in almost a completely different role, bringing his defensive skillset to the table.

– His intelligence when out of possession means that he rarely steps out to make an interception or a tackle at the wrong time. When he does go hunting for the ball, his tenacity and aggression make him a nightmare for opponents to try and play around.

-The switch long range passes he does "a la" Xabi Alonso, Pirlo, Kroos

– Long range shooting ability ( tell me 10 central midfielders in the world today that actually have this ability like Lampard or Gerrard? De Bruyne, Bruno Fernandes, Valverde, Kroos, Modric…can´t remember more)

– Caicedo and Bellingham are very good as well. But he is kind of a 2 in 1. Bellingham better on the attack, assists and finishing, Caicedo is a Kanté 2.0. Enzo is like a mix.

PS: Yunus Musah, Vitinha, Manu Koné and Lucas Seiwald, Gavi, Camavinga and Romeo Lavia will be unique world class midfielders as well. If we´re talking about attacking midfielder of course Musiala, Pedri, Elliot, Guler, Matheus França, Thiago Almada and Xavi Simons. It´s my bet.

So, for the haters… do You want him to cook for you guys as well? WTF. Was crazy spending money but for the first time in 8 years we gonna enjoy watching the usually boring Chelsea games. If they buy Osimhen for ST and Diogo Costa for GK, they can fight for the league easily and can be one the best teams in a few years if things goes right ( considering that any of them turns out to be a flop 🙂 ).

Hincha del Chelsea de chiquito

Finally, a midfielder that can shoot and pass the ball well in Chelsea…Another needed in the summer

Every player has great highlights reels, Fernandez definitely looks like an amazing player, and I'm excited to see how he plays in the prem this year!

He can’t play like this in premier league , in Portugal has more time to think more space to move

Now for the age old question – can he do it in the premier league in one of the worst chelsea sides ever seen?
