Fernandez booed by Chelsea fans as Alonso offers glimpse of blueprint
Enzo Fernandez is booed by sections of the Chelsea support, Morgan Rogers scores on his first appearance and Xabi Alonso offers a glimpse of what could be his blueprint for the season.
Enzo Fernandez received boos from sections of Chelsea supporters during his debut appearance for the club as Morgan Rogers scored his first goal in a Chelsea shirt. Joao Pedro also added a brace to his impressive pre-season form, helping Chelsea secure a 3-1 win against Real Sociedad. The match was overshadowed by the reaction to Fernandez's second-half appearance, just 24 hours after Chelsea postponed their transfer deadline.
Fernandez had previously expressed a desire to join Real Madrid, but his representatives later held talks with Manchester City without success. Chelsea's manager, Xabi Alonso, appeared confident in his abilities, handing over the armband to Reece James following Reece James' departure from the field.
