Chelsea fans will not like what Enzo Fernandez posted after the Argentina game last night
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has heaped praise on his Argentine teammate Cristian Romero, who plays for Tottenham Hotspur. Fernandez took to Instagram to describe Romero as the best central defender in world football, a compliment that may not sit well with some sections of the Chelsea fanbase.
Fernandez was part of the Argentina national team that began their World Cup qualification campaign against Ecuador. In that match, he faced Chelsea’s recent record signing, Moises Caicedo, who was playing for Ecuador.
While there were no physical altercations between Fernandez and Caicedo, the 21-year-old midfielder saved his tough tackling for Lionel Messi. Argentina secured the victory thanks to a moment of brilliance from Messi, while Romero put in a solid defensive performance to help his team keep a clean sheet.
Romero has had a strong start to the season with Tottenham, and Fernandez appeared to be highly impressed with his international performance, as he referred to him as “the best central defender in the world” in a comment on Instagram.
Such praise for a rival player may not sit well with Chelsea supporters, especially considering the reputation of Chelsea’s own experienced defender, Thiago Silva, who is widely regarded as one of the best central defenders in the world. Additionally, Chelsea has promising young talent like Levi Colwill coming through their ranks, making the competition at the position noteworthy for Chelsea fans.
