Enzo Fernandez 2023 - Welcome to Chelsea | Skills, Goals, Assists & Tackles | HD 

Best passer of the ball, control. Agility, ball retension, power, and defensive game. Top notch👌

5:16 XD

He is really good what I love most about him is the ability of passing that's what Chelsea has been lacking someone with vision since we sold Fabregas

Golden boy 🇦🇷🇦🇷

For all of those who are interested and have NO clue about Enzo: He did his formation at River Plate school of Football (probably best in Latin America), along side for example: Julian Alvarez, they are really good friends. At 18 he made his debut with the first team and played only a few games before being sent on loan to Defensa y Justicia (from now on DyJ). To call DyJ a small club is an understatement, they got promoted to the first league in 2014 for the very first time in their existance, they'd never won a title. Enzo came... and he made an immediate impact leading them to their first international and overall titles, copa Sudamericana (Europa League equivalent) and Recopa Sudamericana (European Supercup equivalent) beating the Libertadores (CL equivalent) Champions Palmeiras of Brazil and Enzo was THE KEY player in this historic run for this club. River plate quickly dragged him by his nose back to them... and he made an immediate impact there, taking complete ownership of the midfield and providing performances that made journalists and fans demand that he gets called to the national team, which seemed very unlikely given that Argentina was enjoying an unbeaten run and the midfield was unmovable, but I'll come back to that. By this time, Benfica had already taken noticed (they later claimed they had already discovered him while at DyJ. I think Europe should learn from Benfica scouts man), so Enzo couldn't even finish a season at River plate because Benfica offered 10mil to buy 75% of Enzo's pass. And so he came to Benfica... and he made an immediate impact there too, being named best Midfielder in Portugal 3 months in a row the first 3 months he played there!! at this point I should mention he is a complete midfielder, he defends like the best DMs out there, and with the ball he can be riquelme or fabregas. The stats alone (which don't tell the whole story) are crazy, by far the player with the most forward passes in the opposition half, he makes all types of passes you can think of, he is a ball winner, look at the PSG game how he dispossed Verrati, Neymar even Mbappe of the ball like he is Kante, oh and he can score!! In all the games I've seen him I think I saw him lose the ball less than 5 times overall! if I say 5 I'm exaggerating. At the WC he lost the ball once, and another time in the final but he immediately got it back from Griessman who lost the duel against Enzo the whole game, that's why he was subbed. His performances at Benfica were so undeniable Scaloni HAD to call him to the National team, even though his position was taken by fixed starter Paredes (who played even more than Messi for Arg in the last 4 years) and his natural sub Guido Rodriguez. As you know, we lost to Saudi Arabia, Paredes wasn't fit. Second game Guido started, wasn't working, Enzo came on... AND HE MADE AN IMMEDIATE IMPACT! During the WC of all places! he never left the pitch after that and was name Young player of the tournament. He is 21 years old! I've never seen in my 40 years a guy's career sky rocket like this, and we produce talents EVERY YEAR. Now that I think about it, he only ever finished a season with DyJ, he didn't with River Plate and it doesn't look like he will finish the season with Benfica, crazy. There's now 4 teams that he's joined and made an immediate impact with and in the biggest of circumstances. His best games with Benfica were in the CL against Juventus and PSG... and Of course, The effing World cup!! We would have never guessed he would start at the world cup, not only he broke through into the first team, he played like he'd known Messi, Mcallister and de Paul for years. This is insane. I will admit that one of the reasons I'm so excited about Enzo is that we just don't produce players like him. We are the land of the number 9s (we grow them in trees) wingers and attacking midfielders, that's it. But a complete Mid like him, I actually don't know of anyone in the world right now. He has the potential of being a Pirlo, Modric or even Zidane who can actually defend! He is 21!! of course he won't be like Messi, but he will have an amazing career. Do you now understand why Chealsea will pay 130mil for him?

Chelsea trying to build intergalactic avengers with these signings lol

His outside the box shot impressed me more, that accuracy! the fact is he use both of his legs to produced a powerful shots

Argentine football players will give you their heart! Their tenacity is what keeps them ticking, and add to that their talents = success

Corta,recupera,juega,hace jugar y hace goles.UNA BESTIA⭐⭐⭐

Enzo is an exceptional player let's see what he can do for chelsea.

I was in the live and despite not even being a Chelsea fan i am happy that this kind of stories happen in football. The game we love😍

No saben al jugador que se llevaron mamita...... Crack

He is SPECIAL !!!!!

Trust me he is world class

kovacic,joginho,shoot like an old woman and can hardly give a long or any meaningful penetrative pass to our attackers. Now we have someone who can pass like Fabregas,shoot like Lampard and tackle like Michael Essien. we are good to go. Enzo is Fabregas, Essien and Lampard all wrapped into one gold piece - a complete midfielder

Porto fan here but for the ignorants saying Enzo is "normal" player (not arguing if it worths 120m or not, but thinking about Lukaku, João Felix, Grealish, Maguire, Antony transfer fees...i think it may worth it) because he is a complete midfielder: - A pass master, a box-to-box midfielder, a deep-lying playmaker, a offensive playmaker, a tough-tackling ball-winner, can adapt easy on any team or system. - He is footballing chameleon; without the ball, he possesses great defensive attributes and instincts and can often be found using his intensity and aggression to win the ball back for his side. However, his superb quality on the ball means that he is also a real threat in possession and is a midfielder who can bring the team up the pitch and into the attacking third through the use of his expansive passing range. - He lead the Primeira Liga for most touches with 1390, has completed by far the most open-play passes with 1067 (212 more than any other player) and has completed the most open-play progressive passes with 79, showing that his passing isn’t simply for passing sake, but instead used as a vehicle to progress his side up the pitch and into attacking zones. He is currently averaging 96.4 successful passes per 90 minutes, 20 passes more than any other Primeira Liga midfielder. To contextualise how rare this is, across the top five European Leagues since 2018-19, the only midfielder to play 1000+ minutes and average more passes per 90 minutes in a season has been Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti. (97.7 in 2020-21 and 96.6 in 2022-23). It’s not just the sheer volume of passes Fernández makes, but more crucially it’s his ability to pick the right pass at the right time. He uses his short passing range to dictate proceedings and keep the team moving whilst they patiently wait for an opening against what is often a stubborn, deep opposition defence. He is like a sneaky player. In a good way. A fox. - Due to his deep starting position on the pitch, he doesn’t provide bundles of assists (just two from open play this season) but he is still very much heavily involved in the build-up to goals, often providing a killer pass to progress. He ranks first in the entire league for most attacking sequence involvements per 90 minutes and ranks third in the league for secondary chances created. - His versatility and confidence in both the defensive and attacking areas of the pitch are part of why he is so highly rated. It’s especially rare to see a midfielder have so much technical quality on the ball but be so aggressive and defensively astute without it. Without the ball, he is more than capable of performing at the highest level. In the UEFA Champions League, we see this midfield chameleon operating in almost a completely different role, bringing his defensive skillset to the table. - His intelligence when out of possession means that he rarely steps out to make an interception or a tackle at the wrong time. When he does go hunting for the ball, his tenacity and aggression make him a nightmare for opponents to try and play around. -The switch long range passes he does "a la" Xabi Alonso, Pirlo, Kroos - Long range shooting ability ( tell me 10 central midfielders in the world today that actually have this ability like Lampard or Gerrard? De Bruyne, Bruno Fernandes, Valverde, Kroos, Modric...can´t remember more) - Caicedo and Bellingham are very good as well. But he is kind of a 2 in 1. Bellingham better on the attack, assists and finishing, Caicedo is a Kanté 2.0. Enzo is like a mix. PS: Yunus Musah, Vitinha, Manu Koné and Lucas Seiwald, Gavi, Camavinga and Romeo Lavia will be unique world class midfielders as well. If we´re talking about attacking midfielder of course Musiala, Pedri, Elliot, Guler, Matheus França, Thiago Almada and Xavi Simons. It´s my bet. So, for the haters... do You want him to cook for you guys as well? WTF. Was crazy spending money but for the first time in 8 years we gonna enjoy watching the usually boring Chelsea games. If they buy Osimhen for ST and Diogo Costa for GK, they can fight for the league easily and can be one the best teams in a few years if things goes right ( considering that any of them turns out to be a flop :) ).

Not afraid to shoot..

Despite the hefty transfer fee I'm feeling confident about this signing.

A midfielder who scores at Last

Can’t remember the last time we had a midfielder that shoots from outside the box, he looks a great all round player

Exactly the type of player we need in the midfield. A fighter that can defend and attack. He reminds me a lot of a younger Vidal or Gerrard.

Tremenda visión de juego que tiene para dar esos pases que da, es un jugador que puede jugar defensivamente y atacar, made in river plate 😍❤️

you forget his performance in the world cup

As a River Plate fan, i hope Chelsea win everything this year, i love them since Drogba 🇦🇷❤️

Pusieron un gol de Barco jjajajajajaja

He is a serious talent

Special talent 💙⚽⚽welcome to Chelsea Football Club maestro 💙

Magnificent skills wow

Eu sempre disse Enzo Fernandes será a revelação do campeonato português É o meu jogador preferido

Every player has great highlights reels, Fernandez definitely looks like an amazing player, and I'm excited to see how he plays in the prem this year!

He has very good ball control and passing. This is how I aspire to play

People complain about the transfer fee. Is it your money? Dont worry about Boehlys pockets - worry about your own bank account being overdrawn

Great video broo 🔥🔥

He plays just like Frank Lampard

Imagine fenandez with his pass X Mudryk speed, remember he’s the fastest player in the premier league rn just playing second half

Espero lo hagan jugar en su posición y no lo hagan hacer un papel que el no tiene por qué hacer, por lo demás es el tipo con más talento que salió de argentina en los últimos años

Una locura de jugador compró el Chelsea.

He is almost as good as prime ozil but he can defend as well He worth every pound

He’s a World Champion 🔥

More than getting enzo I’m more happier about the fact the Jorginho is gone . He can’t beat a player he can’t out run another player can’t shoot long range goals never comes short range goals never comes from him . He never arrives late in the box like lampard gets easily muscled out. Fast players constantly goes past him . Only time jorginiho is good is if the other team puts no man to man press . If they pressed man to man like Liverpool or city does high press he is the useless the worst player only thing he does is side way of back pass and I’m so glad he’s gone . We’d need a new penalty taker mudryk will do that . Abs I’m even more happier that arsenal bought him haha not only we’ve got rid of a dead wood but we’ve also weakened arsenal haha great business

Abolute worldclass

Just imagine if Chelsea didn´t sack Tuchel and gave him that much money and freedom on transfer market...they are such fools for kicking him out. Even though he won them Cl and was 3rd i the prem last year. I think they might have problem with financial fair play next year because of not even reaching cl

Enzo is a full package player we are lucky to have him he can defend his long range and finishing is crazy he can dribble he is crazy fast and his vision and assists are out of this world for a 22 year old ..I'm so happy with all the recent signings we've made..Thanks Todd Boehly You are a Blessing sent to Chelsea

Take Julian Alavarez from City and complete the duo

Overrated and overpriced, dumb Chelsea for waste money 😅

People laughing at Chelsea but trust me just, like they laughed when they were sanctioned you will be eating your words in a few years Chelsea will be back and are building a footballing dynasty.

He is just starting his journey now.wait he will be a beast.even comparable to de bruyne

ENZO FERNÁNDEZ 🇦🇷🇦🇷💥💥🔥🔥💪💪

Amazing talent. Congrats to Chelsea. If they buy in the summer Vlahovic, good gk and cdm they will have complete team.

Muy bueno,falto el golazo de Enzo vs tigre

Great player was so good during the world cup

The problem with jorginho was that he was more of a short pass player. This drugged and slowed our attacking pace. With massive and quick wingers we gat right now, mudryk, madueke, felix, mount and ziyech will reach their potentials because of enzo. What chelsea has to do is to ensure the number 6 only to focus on defensive responsibilities and let enzo deal with his guys up front…. If chelsea plays and potter become very serious, im pretty sure UEFA number 3 is coming to london in just few months. Blue is the colour, football is the game💙💙

Boehly sees him as a kante replacement. Kante may not sign a new contract , he is on the wrong side of 30 and kante's injury record is not great at the moment. Great signing

such a good time to be a chelsea fan 💙💙

Bruno Guimarães is better than him

Ele pode jogar a Champions no Chelsea essa temporada ?

If chelsea can finally get the best out of kovakic, these two could be exceptional.

Now there is passing competition for KDB.

Welcome to Chelsea FC Enzo,he is a true box to box midfielder,he can defend,score,thread a pass,break up play,has pacepower & the cherry on top of the cake is at 21yrs old he is a World Cup winner. Preformed at the highest & biggest of stages.

Absolute stupid money tbh

He’s good but not 100 mill good

Wow his shooting skills is amazing

Looks like a mix of Ramires + Fabregas

Viene del semillero de cracks , River Plate : Ortega , Gallardo , Crespo , Aimar , Saviola , Cavenaghi ,Dalessandro, Falcao ,Higuaín , Mascherano, Lamela , Julián Álvarez y ahora Enzo ,y obviamente me faltan varios nombre no tan relevantes , ejemplo Demichelis , Montiel , Pezzella , Balalta , Driussi , la fabrica de cracks mundiales se llama River Plate ! Saludos !

Welcome to Chelsea Enzo c'mon blues 💙⭐️💙

Wait till Chelsea fans start dissing him

Kante type of player

Someone call him overrated due to 120m. But he is a beast in mid, Good playmaking ability, hungry for getting ball, good long pass ability and finally WC champion.

*Made in River Plate* ♥

Boehly is building the real team that Tuchel said nobody will want to play 🥹💙💙

It’s official and here we go Enzo is a blue welcome to the best club in London and in the world. Best of wishes

Hope he come back soon with Champions League, and we will kick Chelsea out off it because we are better has a team, something Chelsea does not, BENFICA SEMPRE

QUE JUGADOR

Ounahi >>>

100 mil flop lmaoo

Actually im a little worried. Because EPL is a total different league. I really hope he can shine. Welcome Enzo

I really think we are about to see something extremely amazing with these new players if the gel as a team this is going to be one hell of a special team and with what the academy is now producing there will be no shortage of new talent topping up the team over the years.

The midfield is the key of success. People saying Chelsea overpaid are clueless. Rather spend this amount of money to a midfielder, than to a striker or a winger, even if it’s mbappe. Real Madrid winning all those CL titles over the last , and barca…is mostly because of their midfield.

For now anybody complaining or criticizing Enzo is jealous. Let's wait and see what he brings to the table in PL before we criticize and talk rubbish. After all posting a comment is free.

Guy looks altering cost.... Mudryk highlights has looked far more exciting and catching than his.. Just hope he does well @ chelsea

Bet a united fan made a vid of Enzo saying welcome to united like they always do. Then other teams sign the player. E.g Nunez for Liverpool.

Again and again Benfica laughing on they way to the Bank!! 121 M not in the pocket, on a truck, because you need a truck for all that money 💰💰💰

1:22 Ese es Esequiel Barco

Arda Guler in getir götürünü bile yapamaz 😂

This guy is not that good can’t believe Chelsea bought him for $130M

Everyone has an amazing highlights reel. Fecking Andy Carroll has one. Lets see how he performs in the premier league

Enzo es un gran jugador que se adapta fácil a cualquier equipo, gran talento y principalmente su visión de juego, tienen una joya muy joven, es de los pocos que ves jugar y sabes que es diferente al resto, y lo más importante es que su talento potencia a su equipo mas allá de lo individual. Disfruten de éste CRACK.

You just had to use Coldplay's Paradise as the backing track, didn't you?

Good player but the amount Chelsea paid for him??? too much in my opinion. there will be too much uneccesary pressure on player and the team themselves

Actually he seems to be a good player and what I like from him is his ability to shoot from far.

Thanks you for the 121 Mill. 😘 Try to go to conference league 🤣

He reads the game like no other!!!

I dont see anything extraordinary here, but what do I know!?

Będzie najlepszy💙💙💙

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 monster

Good player but not too special.. I thought they’ve bought another Ngolo Kante

The fact u spent 300mil in January is disgusting and the funny thing is your club is not getting top 4

Now what an average player worth over 100 milli Dafaq football is dead

I wonder how shame chelsea can be if only able to draw or lose to physical fulham for next league game after spending spree

Es bastante bueno lo unico que le falta es un poco mas de velocidad en lo demas es un 10
