[Sport] Enzo Fernández recalled how he lived the Madrid final between River and Boca

[FNX Magokiler]

December 9, 2018 was a pivotal day for the history of Argentine soccer. The globe set its eyes on Madrid. Specifically, at the Santiago Bernabéu, the place where River beat Boca 3-1 in a historic Copa Libertadores final. That is why it is not surprising that anecdotes about that duel continue to appear over time, despite the fact that almost five years have passed. This time, the protagonist who appeared to give details about how he experienced the game was Enzo Fernández, a fanatic midfielder of the Millionaire and world champion with the Argentine National Team.

"I saw it alone in the room. My family saw it in the dining room. I liked to enjoy it only during the games. Benedetto's goal was shouted, because my brothers are from Boca. I have two from River and another two from Boca. When there was a River's goal, I opened the door of the room, I went to the living room and yelled the goal in their faces," the midfielder confessed -between laughs- in an interview with ESPN.

In this sense, he added that his brothers "warmed up", but they didn't say anything to him: "If they yelled at me for the goals, then I had to bank. When the game ended, they all disappeared. My mother supported River".

Several months ago, Valentina Cervantes, partner and mother of her daughter, had revealed that Enzo had kicked her out of her house at halftime of the match, which ended with Xeneize up on the scoreboard. "I had been going out with Enzo for a little while and I was at his house.

 

 

And in the first half when Boca scored the goal, he kicked me out and I went home because it was the first time I had watched a game with him," he wrote in his Instagram account.

Enzo Fernández's talk with Marcelo Gallardo before going to Defense and Justice
During an interview with Olé, Enzo Fernández brought to light an unpublished talk that he had with the then DT of the Millionaire, when he warned him that he was not going to take it into account.

"I remember that it was a Sunday that I was with my family when he called me. I was seized by insecurity when he told me to look for minutes because I was not going to have filming in First Division. There he told me that there was the possibility of going to Defense and I said yes , that I was going to win minutes and that I was going to return to River because my dream was to have continuity and become champion, something that I was able to achieve later," said the native of the Buenos Aires town of San Martín.

His time at Halcón de Varela, with Hernán Crespo on the substitute bench, allowed him to establish himself as one of the best midfielders in Argentine soccer. In total, he played 32 games, scored one goal and provided two assists. In addition, he became champion of the 2019/2020 Copa Sudamericana (played in 2021) and the Recopa Sudamericana that year.
