Real Madrid strongly favored him, and he was pulled out to compete with Yamal

This season, although Real Madrid has shown good stability under Alonso's leadership, many Real Madrid fans are still unsatisfied with the performance of the Galacticos: just looking at the strong dialogue, Real Madrid only played one game at the beginning of the season and lost to Atletico Madrid with a disparity of 2 to 5. The team's passing control obviously needs more strong teams to check the quality. Looking at personnel turnover, Bellingham has not been able to get many game opportunities for a long time after his return, Mbappe has been overworked for a long time, and the competition between Vinicius and Rodrygo for the left winger position has not allowed both of them to adjust to their best condition.

What also caused many people to complain was the way Alonso used Mastantono. In the summer window of this year, the Argentine landed in Real Madrid directly from River Plate. At that time, most people's expectations for him were just to become familiar with Real Madrid and to be able to adapt to European-level competition. If he can become a regular rotation in the team in his first year with Real Madrid, it is already a value-for-money transfer.

In terms of playing time and opportunities to emerge, it can be said that Mastantono has exceeded everyone's expectations: in August, he got more than 20 minutes of playing time in the first round of La Liga. In the second round of La Liga, the Argentine teenager directly got the starting opportunity, and he can be called one of Xavi Alonso's most trusted players.

Since then, Real Madrid midfielder has become Alonso's first choice on the right. Entering September, Mastantono has started three games in Real Madrid. The October schedule has not yet ended, and the player has already started three games. Considering that the Argentinian is treated like a prince in Real Madrid, even if he encounters opponents of the level of Juventus and Barcelona, ​​Mastantono will definitely have many opportunities.

Although he got a lot of opportunities to perform on the court, Mastantuono did not satisfy most people in terms of his performance on the court. Positioned on the right wing of Real Madrid, the Argentinian received quite a lot of support. Under Alonso's ball control system, the player can also ensure that there is no shortage of support points around him. However, in this case, many of Mastantono's offensive options still have serious problems. There are too many strong breakthroughs with average success rate in one-on-one situations on the wing. When positioning on the strong side, they often use an inside cut to solve the problem, and then dive into the crowd and lose the ball. This is Mastantono's daily life. Since the start of the new season, the player can only score 1 goal for Real Madrid and not have a single assist.

It is true that Real Madrid chose Mastantuono because of his talent. After all, the Argentinian was already Alonso's favorite player as early as Leverkusen's coaching period. However, having to bear a weight that should not be borne at the age of 18, Real Madrid is a little anxious about the training of players. As for the players, have they gotten used to the rhythm of European football, adapted to the confrontation of European football, and are familiar with the customs and customs of Madrid? Maybe even the Royal Horse has a hard time figuring these things out.

Argentinian genius, left-footed, 18 years old. These labels can remind Real Madrid of old rival Messi, and can also be associated with Yamal, whom they see every day. No matter what the motivation is, Mastantono is pushed to the forefront. The club's operation to support the Argentine does not seem to be a purely competitive decision.
