“I don’t mean to say anything bad about him, but he crossed a line in terms of our culture and what we want to build. As a character, as a person, as a player, I have the utmost respect. He’s frustrated because he wants us to be successful. He’s frustrated. He’s frustrated because he wants us to be successful. I don’t have anything bad to say about him.”
“When it comes to decisions, it’s not all about me or the athletic director. The owners, the players and we are all united in the decision.”
“The door is not closed on Enzo. This is a sanction. We have to protect our culture. We crossed a line in that respect.”
How Enzo Fernandes fell into trouble at Chelsea
Fernandes has been a key player for Chelsea in recent years, but it was clear that Rosenior had to make a move.
The former Benfica player has been so vocal about his dissatisfaction with CFC that he told Mexican broadcaster TUDN that he did not understand why former manager Enzo Maresca was sacked, as reported by Metro newspaper.
“I don’t understand that either. Sometimes we as players don’t understand how and in what way they try to manage things,” Fernandes said.
“Obviously, this departure hurt a lot because we had an identity. He gave us instructions, good and bad, just like how you play football.
“But he always had a clear identity when it came to training and playing, and obviously his departure was a big blow for us. Especially in the middle of the season, it cuts everything short.”
Fernandes has been linked with Real Madrid by talkSPORT, and the suspension imposed by Rosenior is sure to further fuel speculation about his departure in the summer.
