Argentinian media now reveals what was really strange about Enzo Fernandez’s performance last night
The Argentinian media expressed lukewarm sentiments about Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez following his performance last night.
According to TYC Sports, the 22-year-old had an unusually subdued evening and seemed to struggle in the midfield.
Argentina’s impressive streak came to a halt last night, courtesy of Marcelo Bielsa’s continued successful tenure as the manager of Uruguay.
His team secured a 2-0 victory, intensifying the significance of Fernandez’s upcoming match for Argentina against Brazil.
This game is scheduled in the early hours just three days before Chelsea’s clash with Newcastle United, introducing a potential element of uncertainty for Mauricio Pochettino regarding Fernandez’s starting role.
The doubts may have been further fueled by Fernandez’s challenging performance in the recent international duty.
Fernandez strange Argentina performance
According to TYC Sports, Fernandez’s performance was characterized as ‘strangely imprecise’ and he received a player rating of only 5/10.
They said: “Enzo Fernandez: 5. He didn’t find his place in the game. It was difficult for him to become the owner of the medium, the vertigo and intensity imposed by Bielsa never let him take over the medium. Strangely imprecise.”
The recent performance has prompted some questioning of the midfielder’s abilities in relation to his high price tag.
Nevertheless, the dip in form is considered a temporary concern. Fernandez has been consistently active in numerous games since his arrival at Chelsea in January, missing only one due to injury.
It seems that a period of rest and focused recovery could be the ideal recipe for him to return to peak performance.
