Enzo Fernández in controversy! Ex-Benfica sparks Chelsea dressing-room fury | OneFootball

The atmosphere in the Chelsea dressing room is tense, with several players unhappy with the leadership of Enzo Fernández, at a time when the London club is going through a results crisis and has announced record financial losses.

According to The Telegraph, the Argentine midfielder and team vice-captain has come under internal criticism due to his recent attitude. During Chelsea’s run of four straight defeats, Enzo Fernández publicly rebuked some teammates on the pitch, which reportedly caused discomfort in a squad that needs unity to push for a top-five finish in the Premier League.

His attitude in the dressing room after the defeats to PSG, Newcastle and Everton was also described as very vocal. The situation worsened after the Champions League elimination against the Parisians, when the 25-year-old player cast doubt on his own future at Stamford Bridge.

The irony of the situation was not lost on some, given that the former Benfica player has already had confrontations with former Chelsea players who left the club, while those same players never publicly questioned their future while representing the Blues.

John Obi Mikel, former midfielder for the London club, said on his podcast The Obi One Podcast: "This is Chelsea, not a stepping stone to another team. If your heart is already in Madrid, you shouldn’t be wearing the blue shirt. At Chelsea, we played for the badge, not for a future transfer.'
