“That’s crucial” – Midfielder names something which makes Enzo Maresca a top coach | OneFootball

Enzo Fernandez found himself in a little bit of controversy last night, picking up a red card for a vicious high kick in Argentina’s game against Colombia.

He will receive a ban of a minimum of two games – and it could be extended further.

The positive side of that ban is that it means he’s out for both Argentina games in September, so he can stay in England and recover after a busy summer.

The first feature of that busy summer is Chelsea’s participation at the Club World Cup, and coincidentally Enzo had spoken to FIFA.com about the tournament not long ago:

“It’s a really important competition, especially as it’s a global one,” the midfielder said.

“The world will be watching, and we’ll try to perform to the best of our ability. It’s almost the end of the season for us, so we’ll be looking for one last push and going all out to win the title, which would be a huge deal for the club.”

He added that “naturally” Chelsea were “aiming to lift the trophy.”

Enzo on what makes Maresca special

Away from the CWC, Enzo was also asked about his manager and namesake, Enzo Maresca. As all the players seem to, he had very positive things to say about the gaffer’s coaching:

“We’ve only been working together for a relatively short amount of time, but like I’ve said repeatedly, he’s a great coach. He gives us lots of tips on a day-to-day basis. He’s a very good communicator, both when walking us through drills or tactics in training and in terms of explaining the game plan when matches come around. He’s there to help us every single day, both as footballers and as people. I think that’s crucial for a player.”
