Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez helped his country reach the final of another major competition last night, with Argentina beating Canada 2-0.
Enzo and his team mates will be now heading to the final of The Copa America this summer, in what has been another incredible achievement for them.

Interestingly, Enzo was played as a solo holding midfielder last night, or a single pivot as you might also describe it. Argentine media described it as playing in the 5 position so that Alexis Mac Allister could play with more freedom going forward.
Enzo was great

As you can see from the highlights above, Enzo had a good game in that position. He also had some pretty decent stats last night, as seen here…

Enzo has been playing much further forward for Chelsea and it hasn’t really been working. Maybe now we see him play a bit deeper again this season?
