In an intimate reveal, the brother of Chelsea’s star midfielder Enzo Fernandez proudly exhibited a striking tattoo homage to the footballer during a pre-match interview in New York. Ahead of Argentina’s pivotal Copa America clash with Canada, the tattoo, featuring Fernandez’s name and number emblazoned on an Argentina jersey, captured the attention of ESPN’s cameras and football fans alike.
A Pre-World Cup Gesture
The dedication inked on his brother’s thigh was not a post-victory impulse but a show of faith made before Enzo Fernandez’s meteoric rise to fame with Argentina’s national team. The artwork, a testament to familial bonds and belief, predates Fernandez’s pivotal role in securing Argentina’s World Cup glory in 2022, where he was heralded as the Young Player of the Tournament.
From World Champion to Chelsea’s Record Signing
Following his World Cup heroics, Fernandez’s career trajectory soared with a landmark £106million transfer to Chelsea, setting the record for the club’s most expensive acquisition. Since donning the blue jersey, Fernandez has clocked up 62 appearances, netted seven goals, and provided five assists, cementing his status as a key player in the squad.
Olympic Aspirations Thwarted by Managerial Decisions
Despite his rapid ascent, Fernandez recently shared a personal setback, revealing his thwarted attempt to represent Argentina at the Olympics. Initially greenlit by former Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, the arrival of new boss Enzo Maresca saw a reversal in the club’s stance, leaving Fernandez’s Olympic dreams unfulfilled despite his persistent efforts to participate.
Continued National Representation at Copa America
Undeterred by the Olympic disappointment, Fernandez continues to don the national colors at the Copa America. As Argentina prepares to face Canada in the semi-finals, Fernandez’s commitment to his country remains unwavering, with the support of his family—and a very permanent tribute—behind him every step of the way.
