Enzo Fernandez, a midfielder for Chelsea, feels he hasn’t yet reached his full potential despite joining the team more than a year ago.
The media has been particularly critical of the World Cup champion, but a small portion of Chelsea supporters has also voiced their disapproval. They believe he hasn’t performed well enough yet, and it appears that Enzo, at least in part, agrees with his detractors.
Before moving to Chelsea, he had a fantastic summer, playing brilliantly to lead his country, Argentina, to the World Championship. Of course, there will always be extremely high expectations when a person wins the World Cup and costs more than £100 million.
There is also a collective component to this because Chelsea has not been good enough overall. Enzo has also already represented the team under a number of different managers.
Enzo said on the Chelsea website today, “I’m trying to get there, to the version of me that you saw at the World Cup.” “I want to experience what Enzo did while competing in the World Cup.” I’d like to return there.
“I feel good, and I’m getting better every day, but I still don’t feel 100%.” I’m still getting used to things and don’t feel completely like myself, but I’m making a lot of effort every day to strive toward that goal as soon as possible.
“I’m looking for that Enzo, but it won’t be easy because the World Cup has come and gone and I’m still improving as a player and developing my skills.” I want to feel wholly authentic once more.
For me, the first six months were challenging. Although I had a difficult time adjusting, I feel so much more prepared now than I did at first. But it’s really fun for me.
“Perhaps I’m still not at my best and don’t think I’ve lived up to my potential, but aside from that, I love being at a big club like Chelsea and watching the Premier League every weekend with the incredibly passionate fans.” I adore being in this place.
