£100m+ Chelsea signing confesses he is not at the level he was playing at in 2022

Chelsea star Enzo Fernandez says he’s still not at the level he was during the 2022 FIFA World Cup

It’s been a journey of adaptation and growth for Enzo Fernandez since his Premier League debut with Chelsea over a year ago. Stepping onto the English football stage, the Argentine midfielder has been a consistent presence in the Blues’ lineup, showcasing his talents week in and week out.

Yet, despite his regular appearances and contributions, Enzo remains determined to unleash his full potential on the Stamford Bridge faithful. Drawing inspiration from his standout performances at the 2022 World Cup, where he won the tournament’s best young player award, the 23-year-old remains driven to recapture that form in Chelsea blue. Here is what he told the club’s official website:

“I’m trying to get there, to the version of me that you saw at the World Cup,”

“I want to feel like that Enzo, that was playing at the World Cup. I want to get back there.”

“I feel good, getting better each day, but I still don’t feel like I’m at 100 per cent. I’m still adapting and still don’t feel entirely myself, but I’m trying to get there as quickly as possible and working hard every day in order to do so.”

With 38 appearances across all competitions this season, Enzo has already made his mark with seven goals and three assists. However, he remains steadfast in his pursuit of excellence, acknowledging that he’s still in the process of adapting and fine-tuning his game to the demands of English football.

Keep it going, Enzo!

For Enzo, the journey towards unlocking his true abilities is not just about personal success; it’s about contributing to the collective goals of the team and delivering performances that uplift and inspire those around him to make sure we do well in all competitions.

As he continues to evolve and grow within Pochettino’s system, there’s a palpable sense of anticipation among Chelsea fans, who eagerly await the (re)emergence of the formidable Enzo Fernandez. The unwavering spirit of a young player with big dreams and even bigger ambitions, hopefully, counts for both, personal and collective success.

Despite his quest to reach optimal form, Enzo has been one of the standout performers in the Chelsea side this season, alongside the likes of Conor Gallagher and Cole Palmer. Their contributions have been invaluable to the team’s success, and fans are hopeful that Enzo will soon return to his best, adding even more firepower to the Blues’ midfield.
