The scandal had tainted Argentina’s victory at the Copa America 2024. Author of racist chants against the French, Enzo Fernandez has just received a strong message from Chelsea.
A few weeks ago, Enzo Fernandez’s future seemed to be darkening on the Chelsea side. The fault was his odious behavior after Argentina’s victory in the Copa America 2024 final. The racist chant scandal even took a political turn when the Argentinian authorities got involved. Despite this, Enzo Fernandez has resumed his place at Chelsea, apologizing to his many French teammates. Chelsea had been quite discreet about this affair. Since last night, we know the London club’s position on this racist chant affair.
Enzo Fernandez vice-captain
According to The TimesChelsea have reportedly made the decision to appoint Enzo Fernandez as vice-captain of the team. A choice that is likely to cause controversy, as the Argentinian had alienated a large part of the dressing room of the BluesThe 23-year-old midfielder has already assumed that leadership role when he replaced Reece James in a friendly against Real Madrid. By naming Fernandez vice-captain, Chelsea have strengthened their position of maintaining their faith in the most expensive player in Premier League history.
For now, Wesley Fofana, Nkunku and the entire French clan have not yet communicated following the appointment of Fernandez as vice-captain of Chelsea. However, there is no doubt that the atmosphere will be tense in the dressing room of the London club. But that’s how it is: the Chelsea directors have made a strong choice. It is difficult to imagine a less eventful summer preparation for the Blueswho disappointed sportingly by finishing 6th in the Premier League last season.
