This Chelsea team does not have many leaders but Fernandez fits that description. He will inherit a club that emasculates its coach by placing him at the mercy of an army of sporting directors and power-crazed co-owners. He is a bright, clever man who is confident without being cocky and is renowned for being tactically astute. Four minutes before the break, the ball broke to Reijnders on the edge of the Chelsea box. None had worked harder than Enzo Fernandez and within two minutes of the restart, he had set up a golden chance for an equaliser.
