The absence of Enzo Pérez was one of the most claimed by fans and journalists after the list of players called up for the World Cup in Russia was known, and in the last few hours, Gastón Fernández spoke out with a harsh publication on the matter on his Instagram account.
"No one can explain to me how a player who faced the most difficult match in recent years for the Argentine National Team is left out," recalled Pérez's former teammate at Estudiantes, referring to the match in Ecuador that secured qualification for the World Cup.
Many can justify your absence due to a football slump (like any footballer has) but no one can explain to me how a player who faced the most difficult match in recent years for the Argentine National Team is left out, I don't forget your tears after Ecuador, what would have happened if we didn't qualify, also... quietly, in the last World Cup you became a key player... player of important matches... I share your sadness friend, but we know that football sometimes has these injustices, big hug @enzonicolasperez35 ❤️
