There is no doubt that Enzo Fernández was one of the great surprises of Qatar 2022. There is also no doubt that he was the piece that refreshed the team to conquer the Third Division after 36 years. And ultimately, That story began to be built in the match against Mexico, when he entered and ended up scoring that great goal for the 2-0 that reassured all the Argentine souls on the planet. and that ensured, perhaps, the most decisive match that the National Team played after the final.
The context, of course, is what gives relevance to that action. Although Argentina won it 1-0 with a goal from Messi, a draw by Mexico seriously complicated the chances of qualifying in the third group game. And a defeat, not to mention: it left La Scaloneta without that incredible dream of seeing 47 million Argentines celebrate. Just thinking about it, it is already a situation that, even knowing the end of the film, generates anguish…
Well, in that 87th minute of the game against Mexico, that peak moment in the history of Enzo Fernández in the National Team and in his entire career, Messi had the participation. Not only at the beginning of the play, but also in a piece of advice that the midfielder, on top of that, did not follow. As? “When I score the goal with Mexico, before the corner, Leo tells me: ‘come over to play’. As if to say… we’re going to have her there, you know? Because there was little left, five or ten minutes,” the Chelsea man started the story.
And he continued with the description of that play in which he ignored Messi himself: “When Leo gives it to me, I don’t see anyone in front of me, on top of that I see the Mexico defender far away. And so I say, I face it and shoot the center. That came out…”told AFA Estudio the Argentine owner of the most expensive pass in history (Chelsea paid 121 million euros), who there began to change the initial plan and even the captain’s suggestion, to remain forever in the books of Argentine soccer.
“That’s how I face him, I throw the bike at him when I go inside and he thought I was going to go outside. And well, I got the goal in front”recounted the end of his move, which ended up digging into the farthest post of Guillermo Ochoa, who could do nothing to avoid the 2-0 defeat and that EnzoFé began to take over, in addition, a place in the 11th that he would end up conquering eternal glory.
Enzo, with chances to be a starter
Precisely that place that began to be earned against Mexico was the one that took Leandro Paredes, the starter at the beginning of the World Cup. For this reason, in this post-Qatar return, one of Scaloni’s doubts for this Thursday’s friendly at the Monumental passes through there. At that time, the Juve man, who was one of the pillars of the American champion, also lost ground because he was not physically well. And Enzo devoured it in every way. But now, we have to see who starts as a starter…
In principle, Scaloni made it clear that he wants people to see, in the friendly with Panama, the team that ended up winning the World Cup. And that, supposes, the presence of Enzo, who was part of the 11 finalist. But ultimately, we will have to wait for DT’s final decision to confirm it. Surely, one will start and in the second half the other will enter…
