As: Belin may return to the starter, but Mastantono won the chance to continue the starter with his performance

According to the Ass, Mastantono's non-usual foot goal against Levante marked his official takeoff. It seems that it's just a matter of time, and Mastantono didn't make people wait too long. In the game against Levante, he scored a wonderful goal with his non-usual foot, which marked his official takeoff. That was Mastantono's sixth game at Real Madrid and his first goal to the team.

Xavi Alonso's firm trust in the Argentine player was rewarded, and he was almost directly arranged as the main force. Mastantono not only performed well on the offensive end, but also worked on the defensive end. According to statistics, he invested more in defense than Mbappe and Vinicius.

The pressure from Real Madrid can sometimes suffocate young attackers, especially those who join with high transfer fees (examples from Anelka to Jovic). But Mastantono seems to be unaffected by this pressure, his cooperation with Xavi Alonso is very smooth, and even before he can play for the team, Bernabeu fans have already started chanting his name. The team was not affected by his joining, but became more stable and achieved seven consecutive victories.

Mastantono dared to try and was able to succeed. For example, in the match against Marseille, although that was his first Champions League match, he still completed two beautiful outings in the penalty area, almost turning into goals. His success rate (42.3%) is higher than Brahim Dias (40%), Rodrigo and Guerre (36.4%), and it is a bit surprising that Vinicius (35%) is the lowest among several people. Mbappe has the highest success rate among all attackers, reaching 66.7%.

In terms of defense, Mastantono's performance is even better than the team's two offensive stars. He has regained the ball 16 times, more than Vinicius and is on par with Mbappe, but his playing time (362 minutes) is only about half of the latter (617 minutes).

Havi Alonso's trust and support for Mastantono was evident from the beginning. Mastantono confirmed the information revealed by the head coach during the Club World Cup: "Alonso called me, and his trust in me was very important to me. It was a private conversation, but he called me and gave me a lot of confidence, which was of great significance."

Former Real Madrid star Valdano recently talked about Mastantono's signing on the show and emphasized the importance of trust: "Trust must be given, because only in this way can the talent be brought to the extreme and the ball will be given. The staff knows they won't have only one chance, they will get support to pursue excellence. I believe him, his adaptation process is right, he needs to win people's recognition, and for that he needs to show his own light…but I think his left foot does have that potential.”

Interestingly, Mastantono scored his first goal with his right foot on Tuesday, and his left foot hasn't really shown, which is amazing with the historical coincidence of Distefano. Now he has taken off and while Bellingham may be about to enter the starting lineup, Mastantono has won himself the chance to continue the starting lineup through his performance. A right foot shot at Levante is another cornerstone for him to consolidate his position.
