Enzo Fernandez is second only to Mohamed Salah for goals and assists in recent weeks. He talks Sky Sports through his outstanding form for Chelsea.
Only Mohamed Salah has more goals and assists than Enzo Fernandez in the last six weeks in the Premier League. But he is more interested in the collective. His response when the numbers are put to him shows why he is seen as a leader by Enzo Maresca. 'I'm not too big on statistics,' Fernandez tells Sky Sports. 'Of course, I like to score. I like to get assists. But the priority is always the team and what the manager wants.
' Maresca said his decision to drop Fernandez for Romeo Lavia was due to a lack of physicality but he has responded on that front too, using the weeks out of the side to work on his intensity off the ball. Tracking data shows he is running further and sprinting more. 'It is a very demanding role, especially in the Premier League where the football is more direct. I have worked a lot to be at the right level physically. I am really happy with that side of things.
