Enzo Barrenechea has learned his lesson, now all eyes on Benfica v Napoli | OneFootball

Enzo Barrenechea wants to give a different response against Napoli. According to gathered information, the Benfica midfielder feels he has learned his lesson after the goal conceded in the derby against Sporting. Thus, the number 5, like the rest of the team, wants to show a different side against the Neapolitan side.

As reported by the newspaper Record in this Tuesday’s edition, December 9, the Argentine felt that José Mourinho’s criticisms were also directed at him, even though the Special One never targeted him publicly or in the locker room, as the source clarifies. Barrenechea believes that the match against Napoli is the perfect opportunity for Benfica to react.

However, the sports daily reveals that the squad already knows by heart the message that José Mourinho made a point of emphasizing at the end of the derby, namely the lack of attention from several team members, which ended up resulting in Pedro Gonçalves’ early goal. The Special One mentioned this during the press conference.

Finally, Record states that the squad, unanimously, feels more in sync as the games go by, despite being fully aware of the pressure and urgency Benfica has to achieve positive results, as is the case in this Wednesday’s match, December 10, against Napoli.

Enzo Barrenechea — currently valued at 13 million euros — is one of Benfica’s most important players. In the current sports season, the Argentine midfielder has already played 25 official matches, between national competitions and the Champions League. In the 2,023 minutes he has spent on the pitch, he has recorded one goal and one assist.
