Fans were really upset that an English football club had the cheek to put club football above the national team. The former Premier League champions not only got slammed by the fans of other clubs but also by their own supporters. This really put the club under pressure, and they were forced to delete the post.
As per the Sun, a Chelsea fan wrote: “Seriously. We’re an English football club. Poor from my club. Poor,” while another commented: “The absolute cheek of an English football club to tweet this. Grim.”
Earlier this year, Enzo had expressed his desire to live in Madrid and that left many upset and anxious at the English club. "I’d like to live in Madrid. It’s a beautiful city, reminds me of Buenos Aires,” he said. Even prior to that, Enzo was not sure about his future at Chelsea. "I don’t know, there are eight games left and the FA Cup. There’s the World Cup, and then we’ll see,” he said after Chelsea's Champions League exit. One fan reminded all of this through a post: “Read the room, disgusting. Especially when that player would spit at us at any opportunity.”
