00:00I want to talk about Enzo Fernandes. In his last 65 games that he's been physically fit and available for the club, he's only missed about five.
00:08So he's played a lot, he played through his hernia issue, he's been covering physically more ground on the pitch than any other Chelsea player.
00:16All of this of course impacts his level, his form, there can be dips.
00:20Is it a viable option for you right now when you want to win games to bench him and play Santos or to play him in that different, deeper role where you can actually dictate play?
00:31Enzo can play in different positions for us. He can play as a six or he can play as an attacking midfielder.
00:40We use him, probably 90% of our games as an attacking midfielder. I think he's very good in that position.
00:52The reason why he can have some good moments or bad moments is probably because of the amount of games.
00:59I've said many times that for any players, not just for Enzo, but for any players, it's impossible to think that you can play 45 games or 64 games we played that season.
01:09All at the same level. It's normal that you drop in some games, but we are very, very happy with Enzo.
