THE BALL – «I don’t know if it was Enzo’s last match with Benfica, let’s see…» (Benfica)

Roger Schmidt left Enzo Fernández’s future open after the Braga match. The Benfica coach has admitted that anything can happen in football, so he hasn’t ruled out the possibility that the Argentine midfielder will be sold in January.

“I don’t know if it was Enzo’s last game. He is a great player, since he arrived at Benfica he has been fantastic, he identifies perfectly with the club. Sometimes things happen and the players have to make decisions, so let’s see what happens in the coming weeks,” said the German coach at the press conference.

Enzo Fernández was a regular (he ended up being replaced in the 90th minute), as was Otamendi, who just returned to the club this week after winning the World Cup with Argentina. «Nico and Enzo were fine, at their normal level. I say the same thing I said before the game: they’re in rhythm, they’ve been playing in the last few weeks, there were others who weren’t competing. Maybe now they need to work to get back to their best shape », he reflected.
