Enzo Fernandez Booed as Morgan Rogers Shines on Chelsea Debut

During a pre-season friendly match against Real Sociedad, Enzo Fernandez was booed by a section of Chelsea supporters when his name was announced and again upon his introduction in the 62nd minute. The match saw debutant Morgan Rogers score, while Joao Pedro netted twice, contributing to Chelsea's convincing performance.

Fernandez's treatment by fans stemmed from a transfer saga where he expressed a desire to move to Real Madrid, but the transfer did not materialize. Additionally, there were discussions involving Manchester City, but no formal offers were made that met Chelsea's £120 million valuation before the bid deadline.

Despite the mixed reactions from fans, Chelsea supported Fernandez, and he was handed the captain's armband by teammate Reece James after being substituted. The club is expected to retain Fernandez, although the backlash from supporters may pose challenges as the new season approaches.
