Former scout: Mastantono showed something special when he was 9 years old, it was the feeling of falling in love at first sight

Recently, Daniel Brisuella, a famous Argentina coach and scout, was interviewed by the Ass. He recalled that when he first met the 9-year-old Mastantono, he realized that this child had extraordinary talent.

Brizuela recalled: "It was a feeling of love at first sight. He showed something special when he first touched the ball, which made me very excited. Despite the poor venue conditions, he made a wonderful ball-handling move and quickly chose the best pass route. His decision-making ability was already very good."

Brizuela also revealed that Mastantono also performed well in tennis and was one of the best players in the country in this age group. However, his love for football ultimately led him to choose the sport. Brizuela said: "His skills, vision and decision-making speed are outstanding. I told my colleagues at the time that this kid is suitable for playing for Real Madrid." Brizuela believes that Mastantuono has all the qualities of a Real Madrid player: excellent ball business, understanding of the game, personal skills and competitive spirit. He said: "He played on that simple court, just like at the Bernabeu." After entering the Riverbed Youth Camp, Mastantuono quickly adapted and stood out. Although his home is far from the training base, his talent makes him the focus of attention. He has always dreamed of playing for Real Madrid and loves Real Madrid very much.

Brizuela said that Mastantono's performance on the court is reminiscent of Zidane, who can play both right wingers, as well as front midfielders and left wingers. He said: "He is an all-round player, which is a blessing for any coach."

Speaking of Mastantono's future development, Brizuela suggested that he stay in Argentina for another year to better adapt to the competition in European football. He said: "He is now the leader of the River Plate team, but he needs further improvement in physical fitness."

Brizuela firmly believes that Mastantono will achieve great success in the future and may even become the No. 10 player of the Argentina national team. He said: "No matter which team he joins, he can adapt and take responsibility, and I am confident in his future."
