Chelsea supporters are in uproar following an interview from Enzo Fernandez, the Argentine midfielder who recently made the switch to Manchester City for a record-breaking fee of £125 million. In his comments, Fernandez stated he feels “at home” at City and expressed gratitude to the club's fans for their warm welcome.
Honestly, I feel at home, which is very important for a player’s confidence,— said Fernandez.
These words have sparked a storm of discontent across social media from Blues fans, with reactions ranging from ironic to outright offensive. One user likened the feelings among Chelsea's fanbase to seeing wedding photos of an ex, while another questioned if Enzo is aware of the latest news surrounding the club.
Fernandez's comments have come under particular scrutiny in light of the recent ruling from an independent commission that found Manchester City guilty of serious and numerous financial rule breaches from the 2009/10 to 2017/18 seasons, putting the club at risk of severe sanctions, including potential expulsion from the Premier League. Against this backdrop, Fernandez's declaration of his eagerness to help City “win all the trophies” has struck many Chelsea fans as especially cynical and foolish.
Some supporters suggested that given the impending punishment for City, Enzo may soon regret his decision to leave Chelsea, while others expressed a hope for the midfielder to return in the future, despite the controversial move.
