The home team, Chelsea, took out a 4-2-3-1 formation. Kai Havertz stood at the top, and Mihailo Mudrik, Mason Mount, and Hakim Ziyech were placed in the second line. Conor Gallagher and Enzo Fernandez were in charge of the midfield, and Marc Cucurella, Benoit Badiacil, Thiago Silva and Rhys James were paired in the back four. The goalkeeper’s gloves were worn by Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Enzo’s EPL debut match was concluded. Enzo previously transferred from Benfica to Chelsea for a transfer fee of 121 million euros (approximately 163 billion won) ahead of the January transfer window deadline. It surpassed Jack Grealish’s previous EPL transfer fee record of 117.5 million euros (approximately 158.5 billion won).

Enzo, who was in charge of midfield with Gallagher, also played a holding role as well as a playmaker in the back. He helped the development of the attack with a high-quality pass and continued to steal the ball with a fierce competition. He was practically an all-round midfielder. 스포츠토토

On the other hand, Chelsea swallowed regret due to the lack of decisiveness despite Enzo’s great performance. There were 12 shots, and there were several decisive chances. However, they had to be satisfied with one point as they were blocked by a hit on the goal post and lake rain.
