Why did Mastantono get the support of Real Madrid coach Alonso? The controversy in name did not affect the coach s judgment!

Real Madrid head coach analyzed the current situation of the former River Plate player in the "White Army" and responded to a public controversy, and it was not even ruled out that Franko Mastantono starts in the second round of La Liga.

In the first round of La Liga match against Osasuna, Franko Mastantono made a substitute in the 68th minute. This performance not only made Real Madrid fans look forward to it, but also left a deep impression on the coaching staff. Therefore, before the match against Oviedo, Real Madrid coach Xavi Alonso analyzed Franko Mastantono's current state at Real Madrid and responded to a public controversy, not even ruled out that he would start in the next game.

"I haven't commented on this before because I've been focusing on the players themselves and I think Franko Mastantono has performed well. I've seen him train well and blending with his teammates very smoothly, and it looks like he's been on the team longer than he actually is." Xavi Alonso said in a press conference. Immediately afterwards, he further emphasized: "I saw him performing well a few days ago (versus Osasuna), and he brought positive impact and vitality after his appearance. Against Oviedo, he would be on the roster and like other players, he had the possibility of playing."

At the same time, Alonso also mentioned Frank Mastantono's on-field position: "He can play both the front line (front court) and the midfield position. When playing in the riverbed, he mostly served 10. The number (factory midfielder) was gradually adapted to the role of a winger. He had the ability to play in these two positions, had excellent mobility and coordination. He was a player who liked to cooperate with his teammates, not just good at personal breakthroughs. ”

Then, for the symbolic controversy surrounding the player’s name (Franco Mastantono’s name “Franco” was the same name as Francisco Franco, a former dictator who launched a military coup in Spain in 1936), Alonso downplayed its importance: “I am more amused than worried about this.”
