Mauricio Pochettino discusses why Enzo Fernandez is unfit to serve as captain of Chelsea.

Enzo Fernandez won’t captain Chelsea, according to Mauricio Pochettino, until his English is better.

Conor Gallagher was given the captain’s armband for last week’s 0-0 draw against Bournemouth since vice-captain Ben Chilwell started on the bench against AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup and first-choice Reece James was injured.

Given that the midfielder was up for sale over the summer and that Thiago Silva, who has previously led Chelsea, was on the field at the same time, it caught everyone off guard. But Pochettino claims that he is seeking for a Premier League captain with more young leadership and a great command of English.

Thiago is an accomplished player who doesn’t require the armband, according to Pochettino. “Therefore, I believe it’s critical to create something for the future. the future as well as the present. He is there, and the captain is doing more than just affixing the armband.

To be clear, Enzo is still having trouble with his English, so maybe Thiago gave it to him. Conor is better than Enzo in my opinion because I believe he can speak English regularly if we need to talk with the referee and for everything else.

“I don’t believe Enzo is yet prepared to serve as a captain. It’s not just because of someone’s profile, demeanor, or character. You have to interact with people, and if you can’t manage the language well, you can’t be a captain, right? I’m not sure. It’s just my opinion, and I might be wrong.
