Unbelievable! Enzo Barrenechea caught napping in Benfica's corridors | OneFootball

Enzo Barrenechea was one of the players who attracted the most attention at the start of Benfica’s pre-season. The Argentine midfielder reported to Seixal to begin training under Marco Silva, but he ended up making headlines because of an unusual episode that quickly started circulating among fans on social media.

The Argentine international ended up starring in an unexpected moment on the very first day of preparations for the new season. Besides drawing attention for the yellow jacket he was wearing, featuring the Portuguese Football Federation crest, it was another detail that ultimately stole the spotlight.

The situation was made public by Gianluca Prestianni. The young compatriot shared a photo of Enzo Barrenechea sitting on a sofa, fast asleep, taking the opportunity to leave a humorous message that quickly sparked reactions among Benfica fans.

"First day and you’re already like this?" was the joke posted by Prestianni on social media, in an Instagram story that was deleted shortly afterwards. Even so, the image quickly began to be shared and commented on by several Benfica supporters.

The episode was ultimately taken naturally and in good spirits within the Reds’ group. After a first season in which he made 43 appearances, scored two goals and provided one assist, Enzo Barrenechea is now preparing to take on an important role in Marco Silva’s Benfica, after the club invested 15 million euros to sign him from Aston Villa.
