“That’s a briefing” – talkSPORT pundit slams Chelsea owners for spreading narratives | OneFootball

talkSPORT pundit Andy Jacobs has called out the owners of Chelsea for what he thinks is spreading their narratives.

To be honest, this kind of thing happens a lot in sport, business, and politics in general life too. People will always use the media to put their narrative, message, or agenda across. And that is what Jacobs believes Chelsea are doing in the wake of the Enzo Fernandez stuff.

The Blues midfielder has been publicly trying to engineer a move to Real Madrid, is what I believe, and apparently some of the Chelsea players have been left unimpressed with him because of it.

In words cited on X last night, Jacobs said on his latest show:

“I don’t believe players are unhappy with Enzo [Fernandez]. I think that’s a briefing. This is what this ownership and sporting directors do. They’ve got their favourite journalist, and they brief. When Maresca left it was all his fault, I’ve had enough of them.”

And you know what? I agree with him here as well. It reeks of a desperate attempt to counter the damaging public statements made by Fernandez as well as Marc Cucurella this week.
