After World Cup red, Enzo Fernández breaks silence; ex-Benfica vow | OneFootball

Former Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernández took to social media to react for the first time to the outcome of the World Championship final against Spain. Sent off during the match, the Argentine international chose to leave a message of unity, pride and gratitude, preferring to highlight the national team’s journey rather than the final result.

“As time goes by, you realise there is something much bigger than a result. For years, this group has represented the country in the best possible way. It shows that competing is not just about winning, but about giving everything for the shirt and never giving up. It is a source of pride to be part of this group that was always there, that competed to the fullest and that defended these colours with pride, humility and commitment,” he wrote on his social media.

The 2022 world champion - alongside Nico Otamendi - also made a point of thanking the constant support of the Argentine fans throughout the competition. “I want to thank all the Argentine fans. Thank you for always being there, for being with us in every match, for the affection, for the unconditional support and for making us feel at home anywhere in the world,” he said.

To end his message, Enzo made a promise for the future, assuring that the defeat in the final does not change his ambition to continue representing Argentina, he said.

At 25, Enzo Fernández remains one of the leading figures of the Argentina national team and, despite the sending-off and the defeat to Spain, he preferred to focus attention on the identity built by the group and the bond with the fans, leaving a message that quickly drew thousands of reactions on social media.
