Enzo Fernández transforms again for Benfica, making his debut with a victory in the Portuguese league

The beginning of benfica he was relentless. They beat Arouca 4-0 at the start of the Primeira Liga and ended a fantastic week after defeating FC Midtjylland in the UEFA Champions League qualifying round. The Eagles’ goals were transformed by Gilberto Moraes Junior, Rafa Silva – on two occasions – and Enzo Fernandez.

A few days ago, Pep Guardiola referred to Julián Álvarez and his adaptation to Manchester City. “The good ones don’t need time, the good ones adapt quickly, they adapt, they understand quickly, football is universal, who knows how to play, knows how to play”, was Pep’s huge praise. The applause also seems to apply to Enzo Fernández, who has been playing with great naturalness and balance since his arrival at Benfica. Furthermore, it seems that he has already earned a place in the starting team and is fighting to be one of the 26 selected to go to the World Cup in Qatar.

The former River’s goal came in the 51st minute of the first half when he captured a rebound, after a defender’s block, and connected first ball and volley. Arouca’s goalkeeper could do little and the ball ended up passing between his legs and entering the goal. The 21-year-old’s goal was a 3-0 run.

The next match for those led by German Roger Schmidt is the return of the UEFA Champions League against FC Midtjylland. In the first leg, the Portuguese won 4-1 and moved up the rankings.
