1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 14th According to the newspaper Ass, Argentina national team legend/former Real Madrid player Rugery was interviewed and talked about the Argentine star Mastantono, who was recently signed from River Plate.
Your (hopefully the Argentines in Real Madrid) is about to come true…
I am so happy that I sent a text message to Chairman Florentino. I was invited to the Bernabeu to watch Real Madrid’s game. I told Chairman Florentino at that time that Real Madrid needs an Argentine player to join the lineup.
How did Florentino respond to you at that time?
He said that a phenomenon-level player must appear to fill this vacancy, because not anyone can enter Real Madrid. Fortunately, this genius appeared in the riverbed. Mastantono made his mark at the age of 17, which made Real Madrid notice him, and I was very happy.
How do you evaluate this player?
Improved, he is undoubtedly the most dazzling new star in Argentine football in recent years. A 17-year-old man has the courage to take the ball, master the ball, and hit the ball into a blind spot in the super derby between Boca and the Riverbed. Such a young man is unique.
When did you start following him?
It started almost since his debut, and his way of playing football, his ability to make his teammates better, and his wisdom and character are extremely rare traits. After playing a few games, people started saying that he would be sold by the riverbed, and there were already many teams watching him. I said at the time, “Don’t think about it, once Florentino falls in love with him, there is nothing to argue about.” Later, it turned out to be so.
Does he have a leadership temperament?
Absolutely, his courage, courage, personality, and attitude of never evading responsibility all reflect his leadership on the court. He is an ideal player for Real Madrid, who is rebuilding and preparing for new challenges.
What is the trait that fascinates you the most?
When he was ready to take a free kick, pick up the ball, staring at the ballWhen I was putting the door and putting it in place, I always had a premonition that something extraordinary would happen, and then there would be a “goal” cheers in the stands. This is a bit like the feeling when Ronaldo or Messi took a free kick.
What aspects does he need to improve?
It must be his right foot, he has to try to use his right foot more. Mastantono should remain humble, like many great players, stay after each training, improve their weaknesses and strengthen their strengths.
Can he bear the tremendous pressure from Real Madrid at the age of 17?
It is certainly no problem. He has proved this. (In the River Plate team), his ability to take the initiative to take the penalty and free kicks in front of his experienced and honorable teammates shows that he is fearless. Mastantono is completely prepared to wear Real Madrid’s jersey, but let’s not forget that he is still young and needs time to integrate into a team full of superstars.
It is difficult to be the core of Real Madrid…
Mastantono cannot become the leader of Real Madrid overnight. It takes time, but he is definitely capable of doing it. From all aspects, Mastantono is a very smart kid, and I firmly believe that he will become the leader of Real Madrid in the next few years.
Have people’s expectations of him been overreached?
I heard that someone has compared him to Messi, but it is too early to draw conclusions. Messi and Maradona are geniuses, while Mastantono is just a top player at the moment, but he may also be a genius.
Where do you think his upper limit is?
I can’t see his upper limit at the moment. In Europe, he will continue to grow, Real Madrid’s teammates will help him improve, and he will become better and better.
Will his arrival have an impact on Nico Pas?
It is likely that they have similar styles, but I feel that Mastantono and Pas have different dimensions.
Harvey Alonso will be a key figure in Mastantono’s growth…
Alonso will be an excellent mentor who knows how to guide Mastantono’s development.
