On Wednesday local time, Chelsea Club and Chelsea Foundation jointly launched the "Blue Magic" charity event, demonstrating how football can provide people of all ages with a sense of belonging.
The campaign includes a number of elements, allowing fans to donate gifts during upcoming games, with a portion of the proceeds from sales of the club's Christmas merchandise being donated to charity. Enzo and Ganaccio talked about the importance of this event in an interview with the club's official media.
Enzo said: "When I came to Europe from Argentina, I experienced loneliness firsthand. It was a difficult time and I felt a little lonely, but luckily I had the support of my family and friends. Having the help of teammates and a dressing room full of people you can trust and get along with is also very important, especially when you adapt to a new country and new environment.
"Football can help bring people together. And football is life, especially in a country like Argentina, where people are passionate about football. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. "It's sad to think that someone might feel lonely during this holiday season," said Garnacho. I look forward to Christmas as much as everyone else, so to represent the club at an event like this and draw attention to such an important issue is huge because everyone needs help from others.
"If you come to a new country at a young age, the company of other people is extremely valuable. And I have always had the support of my family and I am very grateful to them.
"In addition, the team-mates and staff of the club are also important. Ultimately, this is a team sport and there are more than just the 11 players on the field who contribute to the team. The club is very united and that helps everyone. "
