Enzo Barrenechea has lost his starting place to João Palhinha, yet he remains intent on convincing Marco Silva and winning it back.

According to Glorioso 1904, the 25-year-old was left out against Marítimo after Palhinha’s arrival this window, signalling fiercer competition in the centre of the park.

The Argentine midfielder is not discouraged, focusing on daily work and staying ready to deliver whenever Marco Silva calls on him.

He is pleased with his integration and with Marco Silva’s methods, and views the Portugal international’s presence as a chance to grow alongside a player seasoned in Europe.

The two midfielders enjoy a healthy, respectful relationship. Barrenechea refuses to let up and promises to keep a combative edge in every session at Seixal.

His determination underlines the depth and quality available to Benfica in midfield this season.
