Boos and cheers for Enzo Fernandez in Chelsea pre-season friendly win

Enzo Fernandez, the Argentine player who helped his country eliminate England from the World Cup, received a varied response from Chelsea supporters during his substitution at a pre-season friendly match. The 25-year-old midfielder entered the field in the 62nd minute, replacing captain Reece James, who then placed the captain's armband on Fernandez, acknowledging him as the new team leader.

While some fans cheered, others booed Fernandez as he came on. Chelsea secured a 3-1 victory over Real Sociedad, with Joao Pedro netting two goals and new signing Morgan Rogers contributing a goal on his debut at Stamford Bridge.
