An extremely in-depth look at the life & career of Mykhailo Mudryk: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/npOglpiHf42WsH0.html

Enzo is one of the best midfielders in the world, he walks in that Chelsea team, and i´m a Porto fan.

As a Benfica fan, I am gutted about how this panned out. At the end of the day, no player is bigger than the club. So I'm not too mad about Enzo's departure. At the end of the day, we are getting 82m out of the 120m transfer fee (RP has 25% future fees & 6.5% agent fees), which is not bad at all. Even though Enzo in my opinion, was probably our best player, that's not what I'm frustrated about. Im frustrated with the fact that we put ourselves in a position to not be able to get a replacement for him. In hindsight, the deal didn't change much in the last few days. Chelsea was offering 120m (however not activating the release clause) and offering to pay in 6 installments. This was never what we wanted. Our president Rui Costa was always dead set on having to activate the release clause or nothing. Chelsea ofc didn't want this, as it would force them to pay us in a large sum, not installments. However, having accepted the deal in the last hour of the window. It just really annoys me because that was the worst-case scenario for all Benfica fans. We lost our best player, and we put ourselves in a position where we couldn't get a replacement. If I knew that in the end we were gonna accept, I wish we did it sooner so we could've gotten a player like Kokcu (our main transfer target replacement for Enzo) or smth. It's just a shame that we were on record to have a record-breaking season, and it feels like it's all crumbling down. (Not the first time as a Benfica fan in the last decade). To conclude, In Rui Costa we trust. Even though I don't agree with his decision today. I love him as our President as he really represents the values of the club and I am excited about his long-term project. On the other hand, this one definitely stung a bit and I'm sure Benfica fans would agree. Um Abraço a todos os Portugueses e Benfiquistas! ❤🦅#1904

The thing that surprises me the most, other than his obvious talent, is his bold personality, he walks into any team and feels no pressure what so ever, walked into Argentina's starting 11 and it felt like he was always there, you can even feel how his teammates felt like they knew him for years, and he played less than 5 games with the national team, he did the exact same thing with Benfica, River Plate and Defensa y Justicia.

I had no idea you were a Benfica supporter I find that so cool. I’m a Benfica fan and grew up in Portugal but live in Canada now but I still support Benfica and watch every game. It’s nice to see someone that isn’t Portuguese be a Benfiquista.

Huge respect for Rui Costa after hearing his interview. Lost a lot for Enzo, being offered the chance to sign for Chelsea but stay with us on loan til the summer to continue to help the team but he just wasn't interested. Find his behaviour to be really selfish. But like Costa said, it's time to look forward not backwards.

We might have hit the jackpot with Enzo. One of those players who pass the eye test with ease and their stats blow you away even more. His scouting report is UNREAL. And when I say no one, I mean no one comes close to Enzo's profile. We're actually so lucky to pull this off in a January transfer window, because there's no way we'd get a free run at him in the summer.

As a Chelsea fan who was too young to experience the mad dashes of 2003 and 2004, this feels pretty good. Mudryk looks top quality, Badiashile has slotted in seamlessly, and Enzo looks like the diamond in the middle. Add to that Nkunku and Gusto coming in the summer, Colwill coming in and competing, James, Chilwell, and Kante back from injury, and Mount having a summer off to recuperate and get some form back... We might have the best team in the world.

Whatever anyone may say from the day when I 1st saw Enzo Fernandez i could never justify to myself that he was just 21 years old.

What hurts the MOST they have Felix+Enzo now...

Great video as always! I am actually in Portugal right now doing a little away days futbol tour and had the chance to see Boavista and then Vitoria ( even got cool with the head of their Ultras). Im seeing Sporting tonight and then your team Benfica on Saturday.

Aursnes is here to take his place as the brain in the middle. I was hopeful we'd advance into semi-finals of Champions with him. Now is just more difficult

You had me at the Lampard thing . I’m satisfied . 120 is a steal if we’re going to replace Lamps .

Chelsea is going to be a force if Potter gets it right. I love the players and the mentality but I have been questioning Potter's decision-making myself. Lately the games look dull and disorganized until the second half when changes have been made and they start actually getting the ball at other peoples feet other than Thiago Silva.

Great video man, loved it!

I dont understand the idea that he was over-priced. Sure there was a world cup tax, but that happens with all players who shine at the world cup. His price is indicative of not just his current ability but also his youth and potential. Young super stars always carry a premium.

Man City was offered Fernandez for £15M when they swooped to sign Alverez but Pep refused to sign both players choosing Alverez as the better prospect back in august 2021 and instead they went back to Argentina this transfer window to sign the next Fernandez in Maximo Perrone for £8.2M and I do believe this was the player that Benfica had already lined up to replace Fernandez when this transfer went through yesterday.!!!

As a United fan I hate this transfer so much :))) I think it was a mistake from Enzo to sign the 9 years contract because I always felt he was destined to be the next midfielder superstar at Real Madrid

That SIR,is an accurate statement indeed "..If it isnt Reece James or Chilwell.....then you cant look to the midfield to help with chance creation. Enzo would fix that immediately for Chelsea..."

This guy is cut from the same cloth of the likes of Xavi, has the south-american bite in him and a crazy shot. Big big potential to be the all time GOATs.

you just got a subscriber here bro....Am a Chelsea fan but you have been fair in your analysis . you have a top class insight for the game

Honestly i've always liked Enzo more than any other young midfielder, and yes, even more than Bellingham, don't get me wrong, Bellingham is GREAT, but if you give me 200 million to buy either of them, i would pick Enzo, because he has a really rare personality, that type of player that will perform no matter where he is, what is he playing, against who is he playing, he just doesn't care and only wants to play football, he really doesn't have that ''shame'' that some players have when they first walk into a team, he has a pretty bold personality and can walk into any locker room, even into a locker room with Messi, Di Maria, Dybala in it and treat them like his life long best buddies, and i'm not the one saying it, Messi himself has said it. I trust Enzo, he seems like a real baller, and has this special thing in him that you can't describe, overall one of the wonderkids that football has to offer.

I think everyone profited from this particularly happy for River Plate. I wish every player and clubs the best esp Chelsea and Enzo!!! 👍👏

You definitely the best sports youtuber presenter I've seen in a while. You presented this video so well. Good job. By the way are you an American ?

Alguns jogadores, não muitos, honram tanto a camisola do Benfica como ela os honra a eles. Outros, ainda mais raros, dão ao Benfica mais do que o Benfica lhes dá. A esses, o clube ergue um estátua à porta do estádio. É por isso que só está lá uma."

I am a Chelsea fan and You are a very positive thinking person. 👍

as a Chelsea and RobonaTV fan, I have been waiting for this video XD

don't be too upset, it is a good deal for Benfica (as usual). It is the right think to capitalize on a good sale, you never know when the asset will depreciate

The player wanted to leave and Chelsea waved with 121M, most of it upfront. What could Rui Costa do? Considering Chelsea initially offered 85M plus players, this fee is great!

Love the content Adrian but the thumbnail on this could've been better

Great video on a quick turnout as well Adrian. As a Benfiquista, I'll be butthurt about this transfer for quite a while. Chelsea supporters' sense of entitlement and Enzo's behaviour have really grinded my gears, so to speak. Today I saw a Chelsea fan on Sky Sports saying that buying Benfica would've been easier. It might be a joke, but it still shows how these rich capitalist clubs see our club as a catalogue for a shiny new toy and nothing else. As for Enzo, I have no doubts he will suceed, but I also have no doubts he will throw another fit when Real Madrid or Barcelona come calling. Until then, I guess he and Chelsea are a good fit

The hell with him. Benfica 4 ever!!!

Subscribed. Wonderful content

From a Chelsea point of view, I can understand it sucks for Benfica fans to lose an influential player in the middle of the season. So I was hoping Chelsea pay £80/£85m and signed him on a pre-contract or loan him back to Benfica for the next 4 months. But Benfica absolutely rinsed us. £120m is guaranteed, but Enzo dominating for Chelsea is not so much. Great deal for Benfica, as for Chelsea however, only time will tell.

Would you say Enzo is the new tactical unicorn? I suppose any coach would love a player like Enzo. I feel bad for Benfica especially since they're the Dortmund of European football, with talented players coming from there. What do they do with the money though? Like Nunez's fee or Enzo's fee? Anyways, great video as usual, Adrian! Love to see it coming on my notif. :)

The thing is, Chelsea did beat the clause. Benfica got 75/80M (something like that) from the transfer in the immediate and Chelsea will pay the factoring in 6 installments. Enzo did Benfica dirty sadly, so although it's bad for Benfica (short in midfielders), it's not THAT bad. Ofc we could reach UCL Semis, but after this I think we can only reach Quarters, and Semis will be very hard. Still believe in the staff and in our coach Roger Schmidt. We need to at least win the League, Taça de Portugal and maybe (who knows) reach Semis and I'd say it was a pretty good season. Then in the summer we can rebuild and renew players with the profit (I hope!).

120million for a player that doesn't want to be there is amazing

He is a gem 6 months later

Can you do a video on the Nicolo Zaniolo situation at Roma? I genuinely don't understand how he's on the out this bad with both the fans and the club.

Came here as a Chelsea supporter to hear a Benfica fans thoughts on Enzo. Leaving now as a Raybona TV fan and subscriber. Great video/s keep it up!

I think Rui Costa really felt we could convince him to stay. So yes I agree it sucks not having to buy a replacement but little else we could do Enzo was forcing the move too. Hopefully Aursnes stays fit that will be key now

Great video! Thanks

Thanks for the very informative video. I know this was hard for you to make lol

Hey Adrian, Chelsea fan here, following you now on Miz' recommendation 🙂

I know it’s off topic but when will the next ROTR be out or maybe a hint of the country the teams play in.

Best football content. Period.

Very nice your information.

This is how Enzo is going to be remembered by Benfica fans. Otamendi, saviola, Pablo aimar and di Maria will always be loved by Benfica fans, Enzo is going to be remembered as an ingrateful brat. Chelsea's strategy is a make or break one it can be great but it can be terrible, he is a good world class player no doubt and yes they got really good players this window. But can you guarantee the chemistry will be there, can you guarantee egos are not going to get in the way can you guarantee play time and remember is not short contracts is like 8 years contract most of this players have, that's insane! Again is make it or break and we will only truly see the result next season. For the future of football I hope this strategy fails if it doesn't the super league will happen. Just my opinion

Going to give you a subscribe I like your analyst

I feel like you forgot a weakness of Enzo. Great player but he’s very right footed and it affects his tactical approach to the game. he’s great receiving the ball left to right but no where near as good receiving right to left. This is due to his left foot weakness cutting the left side of the pitch. He also doesn’t have a standout quality. He’s very good at everything which isn’t a concern but he needs to hang his hat on something. Quality player tho

We really have to step to the next level. What's the point of being a Benfica supporter nowadays?! What's the money from all the huge transfers good for if we can't keep the best players for more than half a season? Was having high hopes to reach the UCL semis this year, not anymore. I perfectly understand the player wanted to move to his new club right away, it wouldn't make any sense to stay until the end of the season if he was already sold, of course he wants to adapt asap.

In Benfica, in my time, I saw only 2 players coming from South America that I said to myself after the first three touches ... A PRODIGY!!!! Enzo Fernandez and before him Gamarra. Also the same situation. Both played half the season... Gamarra played that half season and as a Central Defender he made something like 4 fouls and 0 yellow cards ... playing all games since arriving to leaving ...

Well he forced to leave and the clause was indeed payed, the 121 million euros fee is above the 120 million clause, and the 1 million above the clause is a compensation for it being payed in installments

Enzo has been my dream signing and I can't believe we have him in Chelsea now💙💙💙💙

Nice video. Chelsea supporter (sorry), but benfica are my second team.

What you need to know is that Enzo will turn your back without blinking if something better arises. Be carefull with Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG or Man City. Also when the players leave early Benfica things don't work to well because lack of adaptation to Europe, Renato Sanchez and Markovic were like that but that's Chelsea's problem not Benfica's.

That FBref stats only compares players from the non big 5 leagues for players from teams other than top 5 leagues

From the river to the bridge, what a step up

From my understanding it did turn out to be release clause. Maybe someone knows better but my understanding is that Chelsea paid over the odds to pay a 3rd party to front the money but will be paying off the interest on that hence it appears to be paid in installments. Chelsea is paying off the transfer in installments but benfica receives a lump sum. This is speculation but I saw some other benfica fans saying this and I'm curious if it's just fake news being spread to placate the fanbase.

Icl, the amount of superstars who have left Benfica must make you very sad. Especially Enzo, who was only there for only 6 MONTHS.

I understand your frustration, being a BVB fan, we will surely feel just like you when Bellingham will leave in the summer, but, it is what it is

His first game at Chelsea they played him as a number 5, where he played for Argentina, but it´s not his natural or best position....think they really just watched him play the WC. Hope they play him better next time

As a Chelsea fan, I couldn’t be more excited to see him play. I’m sorry he didn’t stay longer at your club

Andreas Schjelderup isn’t it? Don’t tempt Boehly man. Seriously 😂

Enzo is a real playmaker. He gets the ball in front of his own penalty area and starts the attack there. That is a playmaker.

What's funny is we were promised versatility with mount Havetz etc but they look so lost but Enzo looks legitimately versatile

i'm a Boca fan (River's enemies) still i love him for the type of player he is, he really deserves the best, and we will always root for him where he goes, which i know it is glory cause he deserves it

If all these new signings work Chelsea will be seriously catching up with Man City and Arsenal. I'd say they have a very good chance of making top 4 next season- and maybe even the Europa league this season

So much upcoming talent enzo. Pedri. Bellingham. Gavi. Mudryk. Balde. Donnaruma. Saka. Vinicious. Haaland. Mbappe.. Tchoumeni. Konate. Trent. Rashford. Fati. Odegaard. . Just to mention a few. Love the sport

That Benfica shirt is beatifull

There's no other club than Chelsea that would pay that much for a player with such little track record. That's why Benfica would accept the offer. Waiting could realistically reduce his sale fee if more of Europe get in on the bidding the following summer and the player prefers one of the lass lucrative options. Also the stats don't support the notion Enzo was the best player at River or Argentina. The fact that Mac Allister, the better Argentina mid, is priced 25-40M is worth considering. The open market rate would have been much lower if he didn't come in through the Portuguese pipeline like all the Liverpool strikers.

Adrian, he wasn’t wrong. Bohley literally paid his release clause

You gave me hope.

You shopuld have seen Rui Costa's interview before you made this vieo. I fully support how he handled Enzo. He did everything, the player wanted to leave, Chelsea paid the clause. there's nothing more to be done. I don't know how you can guard grudge against Rui Costa. We have to have pride and the players need to enjoiy to play in Benfica and respect the jersey.

Can you make a video about Juve’s situation?

Sry Adrian but as a Sporting supporter I m loving this.

Man you weren't kidding, he fit so well into our midfield

I’m liking this video just for the future 😂😂😂

literally got deployed in the worst of the worst of the positions inthe midfield for him, what a joy

As a Barca fan I'm jealous. I think he would've been perfect next to Frenkie and Pedri. But the money Wasn't there a Barca don't seem to want Busi to leave yet. So Chelsea is a great move for Enzo.

3 views and 16 likes within a minute of releasing the video is epic 🔥 🔥

Rui Costa is not to blame at all. He did all he coud, attemted to delay the transfer whith a imediate loan from chelsea to benfica till the end of the season. Enzo just did not want any of it. He never realy respected benfica as anything else other then a stepping stone, and as soon as the clause was beaten he had no intention of ever staying. You dont want that player on your team.

Watching this after Rui Costa interview feel different about Enzo and opinion of Rui Costa is different

Rui Costa will get stick for holding out until the summer. Rui Costa will get stick for selling Enzo. Hands are tied either way. The amount of money earned - considering the majority is coming up front is mighty tough to turn down.

Enzo from 1st to 10th. Best of luck to him, may Benfica win the league and UCL.

The way he is hyping him up is getting me excited 😂

he has the ability to gel with any team in no time, geled with the argentina team in no time, gelled withthe benfica team in no time and he walked straight into the river team

I am a Chelsea supporter myself, and I hope Enzo fits in well because he’s coming into a league which is a lot more physical, much more competitive, the fans are aggressive and very tribal and also there are quite a few egos not just at Chelsea but throughout the Premier League. Regardless, i’m super excited! Welcome Enzo! 💙

Subbed Chelsea fan. Every club he's gone to hes won cups. It could be our year again for champion league if Enzo gets us the champion league will be shocked! Enzo is born winner with hidden talent. The signings Chelsea owners have done we can go again!

Thank you. We’ll take good care of him.

Him and Kante in the midfield 🤤

I am really sad about losing Enzo, but I feel this transfer window was good apart from not getting someone to replace Enzo with. Hopefully in the summer we go for Varela or Kokçu (Highly doubt this one as I feel a lot of clubs will be going for him). Aursness is a monster and right now with the Enzo money I hope we offer Otamendi and Grimaldo new contracts and up Aursness release clause. Another thing I heard is that Benfica will be receiving the 120 million up front, and Chelsea will be using a factoring system to pay him but it´s nothing certain.

Hope Benfica fans don't hate Enzo for his decision

Was Enzo even replaced by Benfica? Cuz i didn't see any signings

Estou completamente grato mas muito chateado. O dinheiro fala mais alto.

It’s crazy that people thought Newcastle would be the one spending loads of money like FIFA Career Mode

As a Benfica fan I think Chelsea was distespectful. If Chelsea really wanted him they should've sealed the deal before the last day of the market. Now benfica loses a key piece of the starting 11 which was the 9th best team in the world before he left

❤VAMOS LA ALBICELESTE AND OUR BOY ENZO❤❤❤

As a Porto fan I must say I am delighted for this as it means we have a chance of winning the league however Shmidt is a top manager and I do think Benfica have enough talent to win the league, and now players like Scheldrup can potentially ball out. Benfica still looking scary and you think back to Porto selling Diaz last season and still winning the league. I believe you guys still have enough but the title race is still on I’d say! Good luck to Benfica and carrega Porto as always💙💙😊

Are you from Portugal ?
