Enzo Fernández, a football hurricane who is already the revelation of Scaleneta at the World Cup

Five games, 165 minutes, he had played Enzo Fernández with the shirt of Argentina national team until it started for the first time as an ownerin view of Polandin a key match. If you felt pressure, no one noticed. His entry at the age of eleven was more than predictable after his performance against Mexico, with a great goal (the 2-0 one) included.

The hurricane Fernandez sweeps. The former River once again stopped in the middle of the field like a veteran, he handled the ball as if it weren’t his debut as a starter in a worldhe was the figure on the field within a team with many high points, and ended up giving the assist for the 2-0 converted by Giuliano Alvarez. And of course, it earned the position.

Lionel Scaloni played with this boy from 21 years who looks angelic He had played a handful of minutes against Honduras and Jamaica in the last North American tour, against the United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi in the pre-World Cup friendly, just over half an hour after the team’s catastrophe with Saudi Arabia and almost the same in front Mexico. Always entering from the bank, but always giving the feeling of wanting more. The feeling came true.

It’s already the revelation of the staggered in this World Cup which started with a tsunami and is already showing a different wind. At the current wheel of benfica The Portuguese coach has given him the responsibility of playing alone in five, when in terms of characteristics it is more similar to the delayed hitch that the midfielder shares with a more positional teammate. But Scaloni likes the five-a-side game, his title was almost always Leandro Paredeswho for now has lost his position due to having arrived with an evident lack of continuity.

“The coaching staff and my team-mates trust me, which is the important thing, and I try to do my best. We won, which is the most important thing. I’m happy because the team won and also personally, but more than all very happy because the team won”, says Enzo with a shyness that disappears when he starts playing. He goes down to ask the central defenders for the ball and passes. Touch and show again. One short pass, another long one. He is immediately master of the team, with Messi’s permission, so he can rest a bit and doesn’t need to do all the work. The fluidity that Enzo Fernández gives to the game of the national team is excellent news.

The guy who is in the plans of the real Madrid he was born in Manchester Utd for the next market ok 100 million euros, according to what they say in Europe. It’s that the greats of the continent have already noticed that he plays a World Cup with the same naturalness with which he adapted to Benfica and the Champions League. The ball doesn’t burn him, against Poland he scored 88 passes with an efficiency of ninety percent. He played five, between Rodrigo DePaul and Alexis MacAllister, none of them specialists in the brand. His role was to ensure the team’s departure, but one move he made also attracted attention: the few times Poland tried to reach for Lewandowski with long passes, Enzo latched on to the Barcelona striker so that could not go face to face with Rosemary or otamendiputting together a line of five.

In other words, the obligations that require the suit are also fulfilled. But the best Enzo Fernández arrives with the ball at his feet. The World Cup in Qatar already knows this.
