Enzo Fernandez must be punished after embarrassing Chelsea fans and Liam Rosenior with latest comments

Enzo Fernandez has now embarrassed Liam Rosenior by flirting with Real Madrid again, after the manager protected him the first time.

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez caused a bit of a storm two weeks ago when he openly admitted to an Argentine reporter that he wasn’t sure if his future was at Chelsea. Links with Real Madrid have been around for a while, and certainly wouldn’t be going anywhere after this.

His manager Liam Rosenior had to defend him in a press conference after that, claiming that his vice captain was speaking in the heat of the moment, after a painful Champions League elimination.

Enzo doubles down on flirting with Real Madrid

Well now there can be no excuses. Enzo has done it again, this time midway through an international break with no pressure on him:

“I’d like to live in Spain, I really like Madrid; it reminds me of Buenos Aires,” he replied, very clearly flirting with the idea of leaving Chelsea and joining Madrid.

“Players live where they want. I’d live in Madrid. I get by in English, but I’d be more comfortable in Spanish.”

This time there can be no defending it. He’s taken his manager for a fool, and is doing similar with Chelsea fans who are paying his wages. He needs to be disciplined – you can’t have your vice captain and a keystone of your project speaking this openly about how he wants to be elsewhere.
