Argentina faces Panama this Thursday, March 23 and one of the players who is giving the most talk in the preview of the friendly match is Enzo Fernandez. Not only because he will play his first game as a Chelsea man, but also because of a revelation he made about his call to the Qatar 2022 World Cup in which the Albiceleste won the third star. According to what he told in an interview with Morena Beltrán, for AFA Estudio, the 22-year-old midfielder sweated cold when he saw that the message of his call that the technical staff of the “Scaloneta” sent him by WhatsApp was deleted.
A week before Scaloni’s list for Qatar 2022 was made public, Enzo received notice via voicemail that he would be on the final roster. The next day he checked the phone again and realized that the conversation had disappeared due to having a special setting activated.
“Mati Manna (Scaloni’s assistant) had the WhatsApp configuration that deletes messages in 24 hours. I searched for it and the deleted message appeared. You don’t know how I got She sent me an audio and I thought I was going to stay on my cell phone. At one point during the week, I was about to write to him but I said ‘I’m going to wait for the list in peace’”, said.
“I didn’t want to ask someone else because I didn’t know if they had been notified as well, I have no idea. And at that time he was cool with everyone but spoke to very few. When I heard that it was on the final list, I was crying alone in bed for 10 minutes, enjoying it ”, added the former Benfica player.
