Enzo Fernandez showcased a standout performance last Saturday as Argentina mounted a comeback to defeat Guatemala 4-1. The midfielder played a pivotal role in their third goal, delivering a superb long ball to Messi, who then set up Lautaro Martinez with a perfectly lobbed pass.

Following his impressive display in the friendly, Chelsea fans worldwide began to praise their star player, with some drawing comparisons to German legend Toni Kroos. Vintage CFC tweeted, “Look at this sequence from Enzo Fernandez. If this was Kroos, you wouldn’t hear the end of it.”

Gbenga predicted Fernandez’s future contributions, suggesting, “Enzo’s long pass to Olise is what I’m envisioning next season,” referring to Crystal Palace’s linked forward Michael Olise.

CFC Factosv4 dubbed Enzo the “next generation Kroos,” lamenting past mismanagement, while ModernPlaymaker and RealtorJubey expressed optimism about Fernandez’s upcoming season with Chelsea. ModernPlaymaker stated confidently, “Enzo Fernandez will have his best season ever next season, mark my words.”

Despite a mixed first full season with Chelsea, where he appeared in 40 matches, scoring seven goals and providing three assists, the 23-year-old is eager to elevate his game under new manager Enzo Maresca next season.

Next, Fernandez will represent La Albiceleste on June 21 in their Copa America 2024 opener against Canada, following his recent exploits.
