Enzo Fernandez has claimed that he believes Mauricio Pochettino is going to be very important for Chelsea this season.
He told the official club website that he has been extremely impressed by the new manager since he came in.
Fernandez is likely to be the most important player for the Blues next season, and this is further shown by the fact he is the new number 8 at the club.
He played his part in what was Chelsea’s first unbeaten pre-season since 2011, and Pochettino will be very pleased with what he’s seen.
The club-record signing has now claimed he is very excited for what is to come under the new man in charge.
Fernandez praises Pochettino
He said: “Now we have a new head coach, you have to say the expectations of us have changed. Obviously, when I arrived, everything was difficult, there were lots of changes going on and everything happened so fast for me.
“We want to be an aggressive team that attacks and defends well, that goes into every game to win it, no matter the opponent. We want to dominate every game we’re in.
“Having an Argentine coach is much easier for me. Chatting to him, it’s very important. It’s another way to connect because I still don’t speak English perfectly, so speaking to him in Spanish is much easier. It helps my confidence and it’s a better relationship. It also has a big impact on my confidence.“I have to say, and it’s very important for me that Pochettino has come in, for me and my team-mates, he’s going to be very important for us.”
It remains to be seen who will partner Fernandez in midfield when the season finally comes around on Sunday.
There will have been hopes for it to be Moises Caicedo, however no deal has been agreed between the two clubs at this stage.
