It turns out Enzo Maresca spoke to Alejandro Garnacho ahead of him joining Chelsea and helped convince him to come.
The Blues boss had a video call with the former Manchester United winger and it has been revealed what was said in that conversation by Garnacho himself this week.
EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea close in on new Front of Shirt Sponsor and the name that is expected to be announced on the shirts!!
It was an unpopular pursuit amongst most of the Chelsea fan base when they heard the club was in for Garnacho, especially when they first heard about the asking price.
But the deal was done and the new Chelsea signing was soon spotted in the stands watching his new club, and then proceeded to do something that annoyed Jamie Carragher of all people!
Either way, Garnacho is a Blue and he is trying now to make his mark and make an impact at his new club, with some more encouraging performances from him of late.
Maresca convinced him to join
In some words quoted by Absolute Chelsea on Sports Illustrated this week, Garnacho said:
“Obviously, in my last season at United, with the new manager, there were a lot of changes in the situation at the club and it was a bit difficult,” Garnacho said. “I still played a lot of games last season, mainly from the start or sometimes from the bench.
“But when I spoke with this club, with the manager, it’s important also the style of play we have now. He explained a lot to me in a video call with him, so I think it was a very important move for me and an opportunity to improve as a player in a team like Chelsea.”
Garnacho on Fernandez
The Chelsea winger added on Enzo Fernandez: “I know him from the national team, and he’s a very good guy. I spoke with him during the summer all the time – he text me every week.
“Then we met again here and he has helped me a lot, to be honest, from the start of my time here, so now we are very good friends.”
