🏆 Enzo Fernandez on the Clearlake-Boehly era: “I think last season was the first year in which we’ve really seen what the Chelsea project is about, having seen only a few moments of potential on the pitch in recent years.
I’m very pleased with what we achieved last season, but we aren’t settling for that as we want to keep competing at the highest level and fighting for the Premier League and Champions League, so I think we’re on the right path.
Maresca has brought a clear identity, which is helping us get results on the pitch. As a consequence, things are easier now on a daily basis. He’s helped friendships within the squad grow. I’d single out the way he guides us and teaches us every day in training, which is wonderful for the squad.
From January onwards last season, everything started clicking. We ended the season very well by qualifying for the Champions League and winning the Conference League. It was wonderful to score in the Conference League Final. It was a special feeling, even more so because I did it for Chelsea. It was a brilliant moment for me in my career.
And we then won the Club World Cup, so it was a great year for us. It was a crazy final against PSG. In the first half, we were by far the better team. We pressed them really well and our tactics were spot on.
It means so much to have the world champion badge and it’s a huge privilege for our club. We’ll try to show our opponents in every game what we’re made of. It’s a wonderful privilege to wear the badge.”

Chelsea have the basis of an elite squad and the profile of an elite coach in Liam Rosenior leading them.
Colwill, James, Caicedo, Enzo, Palmer, Pedro, and Estêvão are all elite talents. Rest of the squad is top, too.
Only one good window away from competing for major titles.
Cesc Fabregas:
“I was so loved at Chelsea that I started wishing I had started my career there. Chelsea gave me what was difficult for me to get at Arsenal —Trophies.”
Enzo Fernández does not get enough credit.
He can decide games in two different ways.
As a high volume passer low in the left half space (like Toni Kroos).
Or as a box-crasher and goalscorer in the final third.
How many midfielders in the world can do that?
Elite. No doubts.
I will publicly disavow ANYBODY justifying this.
He likes Trump? He likes Israel? Guess what? He’s a fucking AMERICAN and he has freedom of speech.
You can love Stalin for all I care.
Hold any fucking opinion you want NOBODY gets shot for an opinion in a civilised world.
Please don’t die @charliekirk11.
