Benfica former Luís Filipe assumes Enzo Fernández is on his way to redeeming himself with the fans, but he still hasn’t changed everyone’s opinion. The Argentina international celebrated New Year’s Eve in Argentina, without authorization, at a time when he was associated with Chelsea.
«Enzo will have to demonstrate to the most divided fans that he is body and soul in Benfica. He will have to prove it on the pitch and, with the qualities he has, I think he will succeed and change his mind », the former full-back told Rádio Renascença.
The midfielder struck the symbol on his shirt, after scoring against Varzim, for the Portuguese Cup, and Luís Filipe believes that “this gesture is a sign that things have cleared up between the club and the player”. “It was a message and let’s hope it’s true, I think so, but in football everything changes very quickly. I think Benfica will do everything to keep it going.”
