Chelsea paid 121 million euros for Enzo Fernández and not only did he sign one of the most expensive transfers in history, but he also increased the fame of the former River and Benfica on a global level.
Enzo came from being a champion and figure in the Argentine national team which established itself at the World Cup in Qatar but his leap to the Premier League from Benfica for such a figure gave him greater visibility and the great responsibility of becoming leader of the England team.
The reality is that Chelsea still couldn’t win since Enzo’s arrival. They picked up two draws in the league and this Wednesday they had to suffer their first defeat, in the Champions League. It was the first leg of the round of 16 of the competition, against Borussia Dortmund. And, unintentionally, the Argentine was the protagonist of the 1-0 defeat of the Germans.
Chelsea’s 5 remained last man for a corner in favor of the English, and the Germans scored on the counterattack. It was Enzo who failed to pull off an amazing run Karim Adeyemiwhich he defined at the goalkeeper’s exit.
“Call an Uber. Enzo Fernández is looking for Adeyemi till now”, They expressed from the TNT Sports Brasil Instagram account, mentioning the game. And the one who threw himself into defending the Argentine was Thiago Silva, who gave points to his compatriots.
The defender He is a point of reference on and off the pitch. And, with his experience behind him, he understood that it was time to file for public bankruptcy Enzo after the accusation of a Brazilian media.
Silva, upset about the post, came out with hoods in the comments: “Disrespect. Be more serious with your job @tntsportsbr”.
In any case, Chelsea can still overturn the 0-1 defeat in the first leg, given that the rematch will be played at Stamford Bridge on 7 March and there it will be defined who will go to the last 16 of the Champions League.
