And Wesley Sneijder, the former Dutch midfielder, did not spare criticism of Enzo Fernandez after the recent defeat against Real Madrid, which cost Chelsea his exclusion from the Champions League. After several costly transfers, the English paid Benfica €121 million for the Argentine midfielder, making him the club’s most expensive player ever.
′′ If they sign a player for €100m, they at least expect him to run till he runs out of lungs, right? But he walks in the field! He lost the ball and had a moment of mourning during the match, ”said the former Inter player, in statements to RTL7. “You see Enzo, a 100 million buy, dragging himself while Gallagher runs in front of him. It’s not possible, it has to be solved,” he added, indignant.
“I look at a boy like this and think: What responsibilities does he have? no one. I called him to meet tomorrow, »Sneijder, European champion of Inter 2010, continued with Mourinho.
And the 38-year-old ex-player sympathized with the Chelsea owner (Todd Boyle)’s frustration after the defeat, adding that he too would be dissatisfied if he had spent millions of euros on a player like Enzo. “I don’t think he’s a great player either. They say he did a lot for Lionel Messi [no Mundial]. I thought I’d do the same at Chelsea, but no,” it’s over.
