Current Chelsea man Enzo Fernandez spoke to 'The Guardian' and gave details about his relationship with Leo Messi, who was his team-mate when Argentina won the World Cup 2022.
"It's not even in question. He's the best footballer of all time. It was a true privilege to share the dressing room with him. He's one of those leaders who are really positive the whole time, like when he's playing and on a human level in the dressing room", the winger stated.
He then added that "He's very grounded and kind to everyone. He offers a lot of help to everyone in the side, from the biggest stars to the young ones. I really felt he was with me during the journey, giving me a lot of moral support".
"It was my main dream: play with Messi. But to then to carry on in that side and win the World Cup, it's almost like God gave me a big present", the ex-River man said.
When talking about his time at River, he said that: "I've got to say that River was where I learnt my skills. They developed me as a person, on and off the pitch. It was them who opened the door to Europe for me".
And finally, Enzo spoke about the questionable spell Chelsea are going through at the moment, who cannot seem to turn things around in the Premier League and are about to be knocked out of the Champions League: "I'd ask the fans to trust the players, trust the manager. We're trying to win and start to change things".
