"We can wreak havoc" – Southampton player shares confidence ahead of match
03/24/2025 07:16 AM
Mateus Fernandes has been a shining light in what has been a frustrating season for Southampton.
The midfielder has one goal and two assists in all competitions for the Saints, playing 33 times. His only goal of the season came against Liverpool and he also assisted against Arsenal.
Thanks to his performances for Southampton, the ex-Sporting player has become a key part of the Portugal U21s side, who take on England U21s in a friendly this week.
Fernandes spoke to Record about the upcoming game and the Saints star seemed quite confident about getting a result.
He said: "We believe that collectively we can wreak havoc on them. We will face them eye to eye."
Portugal U21s suffered a 1-0 defeat against Romania U21s in their previous friendly, when Fernandes played 45 minutes.
The 20-year-old would certainly be looking to make a bigger impact against England.
Him getting good momentum on international duty could benefit Southampton, who will have a much more confident Fernandes as they desperately cling on to the limited chances of staying in the Premier League.
