Barrenechea slams Di María, Benfica signing: I didn’t like it at all | OneFootball

Benfica will host Fenerbahçe next Wednesday, August 27, in the second leg of the Champions League playoff. Enzo Barrenechea was the player chosen to speak to the press and showed, in a joking manner, indignation at the decisive goal scored by Di María in the classic match between Rosario Central - Newell's Old Boys.

"The truth is that I didn't like it at all (Di María's goal). He scored it against my team. After the Tondela game, I went to see the play in the locker room and I was a bit sad," confessed Enzo Barrenechea, who was trained at Newell's Old Boys, a rival club of Rosario Central, which suffered with the mastery of 'El Fideo'.

Ángel Di María returned to Rosario Central after ending his contract with Benfica. In the last game of the Argentine emblem, the winger was again decisive and scored the winning goal for the team in the classic against Newell's Old Boys, through a direct free kick, near the final whistle.

In a few months in Argentina, the winger has had a significant impact on Rosario Central. In six official matches, Ángel Di María has already scored three goals and remains unbeaten when adding minutes on the field. In that number of games, the Argentine emblem won two and drew the other four, occupying sixth place in the championship.

Like Di María, Enzo Barrenechea also remains unbeaten in this new phase of his career. The defensive midfielder, who arrived at Benfica in this summer market, was a starter in the six official games played to date, and won five, drawing the other, in the duel for the first leg of the Champions League playoff, against Fenerbahçe.
