Mauricio Pochettino is very happy with his team's results and especially with the performances of one of his midfielders. The Argentinian manager has rebuilt Chelsea's midfield around his compatriot.
Enzo Fernandez, who joined the Blues in the January transfer window, has been one of the best performers in the English club's squad since his arrival. The 22-year-old revealed that he had talks with Pochettino about changing his position for the 2023/24 season.
"We talked a little bit about everything, where I felt most comfortable, everything. The truth is that yes, I like to play loose, and the function that I am going to fulfill this year is going to be that, playing double five but a little looser, trying not to have the responsibility I had last season, playing five alone.
"Now, with a five more next to me, obviously I will have much more freedom, but without detracting from the position, in the sense that I also have to defend, we have to help the team in that way," he told 'ESPN Argentina'.
