The midfielder spoke in TyC Sports regarding the offensive midfielder who is only 16 years old, born in Azul, who is taking his first steps with the Primera team. About Mastantuno, Nacho Fernández said: “The youth players are all very good and very dynamic. Personally, I have a soft spot for Franco (Mastantuono). He is very small but I see him very well, with a very armed physique. You have to take him little by little, talk to him, teach him and that’s what we are all working for.”
The youth players that Demichelis took to River’s preseason
Franco Mastantuono: He is the youngest of all the youth players called up, just turned 16 years old (he was born on August 14 in Azul). In the Under 17 World Cup he broke it in the handful of minutes per game that he had to playalthough he did not score goals.
Daniel Zabala: 17-year-old defender, had an exponential growth from the fifth to the Reserve and earned his informal debut in the club, on November 15 once morest Colo Colo in the friendly that Millonario tied 2 to 2. He even took the responsibility of throwing a pipe at a rival!
