Enzo is worthy of Chelsea’s true core! He leads the team in two data items and supports new players to take on leadership responsibilities

Although he is only 24 years old, Enzo is the absolute leader of Chelsea both on and off the court! In the first round of the Club World Cup Group D, Chelsea defeated Los Angeles FC 2-0, and Enzo came on the bench and scored a goal to secure the victory. After entering 2025, Enzo is the only Blues player to participate in double goals; and his support for new players Drapp and Essugo makes people feel his leadership temperament.

Enzo

In this game, Maresca lined up a 4-2-3-1 starting lineup. Lavia and Kesedo partnered with two midfielders, Maduaike and Neto were separated from the wings, Palmer was ambushed behind Jacquesson, and Enzo was on standby on the bench. In the first half, Cuccurella intercepted and launched an attack. Palmer cleverly made the ball, and Jacquesson retreated and assisted Pedro Neto to score. Although the "Blue Army" took the lead in the score, the sluggish scene and lack of creativity made people uninterested.

Palmer was isolated and helpless

The second half of the game changed sides and Maresca immediately replaced Lavia with Enzo, and with high center Drap coming on the field, Enzo was completely activated. In the 79th minute, Palmer initiated an attack, Delapura made a cross, Enzo quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door guarded by Hugo Lori.

Scoring instantly

In response to this, Tottenham celebrity Michael Brown commented: "Enzo was very calm and composed after inserting into the penalty area. With the cooperation of Palmer and Drapp, the two wings were completely opened, which allowed Enzo to easily score." Data shows that Enzo has scored 6 goals and 6 assists in 2025, and is the team's scorer and assist king, which is not easy for a midfielder.

Enzo wore the captain's armband

In fact, Enzo's value is not only reflected in the data, but as the team's vice captain, he also wants to encourage new players: "Liam (referring to Drapp) has only practiced with us twice, but he is very fast in his integration because he understands how we play. I am very happy with his joining, and he will help the team a lot. Another new player, Essugo I also got a chance to play, and both of them performed well. "

When looking forward to the next game, Enzo reminded his teammates not to underestimate the enemy: "I know Flamengo very well, because when I played in Riverbed, he was our main opponent. This is a top giant in the world, with a large number of fans and many stars, and I believe it will be a difficult game."
