This boy na 18 years old, and him don already dey vex critics wey don dey call am swap for transfer mistake, and all those wahala wey dey follow. E come from River Plate with plenty expectation, na wetin make am feel like say him dey carry whole world for head.
After e find net for the match against Monaco, e talk say, “I no be Messi, and I no dey see myself as worst signing where Madrid don do.” Na true talk! Everybody sabi say Madrid dey collect new stars like e be say dem be kebab, but the pressure dey strong.
Mastantuono don finally break the jinx of injuries wey don hold am down. Even though e start well, injury come wahala am last October. But when e return, na fire e use carry say e dey ready to show his level. Him pattern na steady progression, and him no dey jump from one controversy to another like some of the big boys.
