I Dream Of Captaining Argentina Someday – Enzo Fernandez

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has said that he wants to captain the Argentina national team someday. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

Revealing that he has his sights on the major leadership role in the near future, Enzo disclosed that it would be a massive honour to wear his nation’s captain armband.

Despite his lofty ambitions, Fernandez added that he is deeply appreciative of the time he currently spends on the pitch with Messi.

His words, “On a personal level, of course, I dream of captaining Argentina.

But that decision doesn’t come down to me; it’s up to the coaching staff. I don’t know when it might be, time will tell. It’s certainly one of my dreams and I’d be honoured to wear the captain’s armband.

I’ve developed a lot individually. Regardless of winning the World Cup or not, you naturally develop in football. You keep improving and working on your weak points, so I certainly feel more mature and like more of a leader.

I’ve been working on all that on a personal level and the club [Chelsea] gives me belief to implement that day-in, day-out. I’m happy with my role and hope to keep improving by showing what I’m doing in every training session with the passion that I transmit to my team-mates.”

On Messi, “He’s different. He’s the greatest of all time, so it’s a privilege to share the dressing room with him.

He’s always been my idol going back to my childhood. I always dreamed of playing with him, so he did make a big impression on me when I first saw him. As the years passed and I got to know him, it became more normal. He’s a great person, and I’m so proud to share these moments with him.”

WOW.

Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.

The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.

On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.

The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
