Stellar in training and chaotic in games. In an end-of-season report, this would be the best summary of Mastantuono. The two faces of the Argentine have been a headache. The high level that he has offered on a daily basis in Valdebebas, exhibiting its enormous potentialhas collided with his disconcerting performances in matches. The desire to demonstrate his quality has played a trick on him in his first season as a Real Madrid player. He started as a starter, but his star faded.
Mastantuono burst into tears as Carvajal said goodbye
To solve this problem, The Argentine found a great ally in Arbeloa. In the quick evaluation he had to do of the entire squad after taking charge of the team in January, the coach quickly detected the reason why Mastantuono He was not bringing out his full potential in games. And he dedicated himself to him in almost daily work at all levels: tactical, football, mental… A ‘battle’ with Mastantuono so that he could regain the balance he had lost in his football. You could often see during training how Arbeloa or one of his assistants had a separate session with the Argentine to polish details. But the main message referred to his ‘anxiety’ to succeed: “You have to be more patient and calmer”.
A situation very similar to the one experienced Faith when he joined the Real Madrid squad in the 18-19 season. The Uruguayan exhibited a level in training that had nothing to do with what he later offered in matches. In your case, He couldn’t quite let go and didn’t display all the football he had in his legs.. He was driving with the ‘handbrake’ applied and that penalized him. When he let go, then the great Valverde who has become a star at Real Madrid appeared. A ‘Fede syndrome’ who is now accusing Mastantuono.
A daily improvement work
Mastantuono He has been making the mistake of wanting to demonstrate in every play how good he is. And that’s why it has fallen into haste, haste, lack of control and, worst of all, constant failures due to always taking risks and under any circumstances. The path was to get it right much more than I did to gain confidence and I was going in the opposite direction. He trained much better than he later showed on the field and that has kept him stuck. And Arbeloa’s coaching staff focused on that because it was a typical youth problem, which they were used to dealing with in the quarry.
Mastantuono’s viral confession about his relationship with Bellingham
Confidence in a player is not only demonstrated in the minutes they play in games, but also in their day-to-day life. And that’s where Arbeloa he did everything on his part so that Mastantuono He brought all the quality he offered in training to the games. Because the good news with the Argentine is that nobody at Real Madrid doubts the spectacular potential that he has because he has demonstrated it to his teammates. Now I just need to transfer it to the games. “Yes, he trains much better than he plays”they confirm in Valdebebas.
Summit with the club
The season of Mastantuono has caused a lot of talk about his future at Real Madrid and there has been speculation about an exit in the form of a transfer so that he can have the minutes that have eluded him in Madrid. Possibly the meeting that the club had with the player recently was directed in that direction, with the aim of laying the foundations for a decision on his future for next season.
The Argentine has said goodbye to his first season at Real Madrid with a bittersweet feeling. On the one hand, his prominence has been far above that of other recently arrived players at his age, 18 years old. After a brilliant start, the break came due to pubalgia and a ‘jam’ in his game that took away his minutes. Even so, he has participated in 35 games out of 56 that Real Madrid has played, playing 1,484 minutes and marking three goals.
