Valentina Cervantes, the partner of Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernández, says Argentina’s upcoming World Cup match against England will feel “strange.” She attributes this to her family’s close ties to Britain, describing how Britain has “given us a lot.” Cervantes also points to the personal nature of the encounter, given the family’s connection to both countries.
According to the reports, she states that she has discouraged her son from taking part in anti-England chanting, highlighting that her family wants to avoid aggravating tensions despite the rivalry. The accounts focus on Cervantes’ perspective rather than any official tournament or team statements. Both sources present the same core details: her sense of ambivalence about the match and the measures she says she has taken within her household ahead of Argentina facing England.
The reports do not provide further independent confirmation or broader context beyond her comments and her relationship to Fernández.
