National team manager opens up on Real Madrid youngster’s situation – ‘He’s at a very demanding club’ When Lionel Scaloni announced his squad for the Argentine national team’s games in the ongoing international break, Franco Mastantuono’s exclusion came as a bit of a surprise. After all, the Real Madrid star has been earning Scaloni’s faith in recent times and it did not make sense why he would suddenly be dropped. All signs seemingly pointed to his lack of minutes at the club level.
While making revisions to his squad a few days later, however, Scaloni did eventually include the player and he is currently training with the World Cup winners for their game against Mauritiana later today. Scaloni praises Mastantuono Argentine national team manager Lionel Scaloni opened up to the media in a recent interview via MARCA where he spoke specifically about Franco Mastantuono and the player’s lack of minutes at Real Madrid. He began by reaffirming his faith in the young talent and explaining how the situation of his limited playing time are blown out of proportion.
“We are happy with Mastantuono, he is 18 years old. Without going any further, the boy who is playing in Boca now, Tomás Aranda, has come to train with us and is the same age as Franco. “By this I mean that Franco is a boy, Aranda is a boy.
We have to give them time,” he began, explaining how many forget how young Mastantuono is. Mastantuono has not been playing regularly at Real Madrid. (Photo by Angel Martinez/Getty Images) “He is at a very demanding club (Real Madrid).
The most demanding in the world. That makes everything beautiful. It’s enough for me that he understands his situation,” he added.
