Young Argentine winger Gianluca Prestianni continues to impress at the start of Benfica's season, standing out with goals, assists, and an uncommon ability to beat defenders one-on-one, using creativity and dribbles that leave opponents in difficulty.
The 18-year-old player's performances have not gone unnoticed and caught the attention of Luís Aguilar, who wrote an opinion piece in newspaper A Bola to highlight his performance. Aguilar described the experience of watching Prestianni play as something "tasty."
In his text, Aguilar compared the Argentine's style to a more spontaneous and romantic era of football, arguing that the shame of losing the ball lasted less than the joy of asking for the game again. For Aguilar, nobody taught the kid to be creative, because creativity was the only way to solve situations.
The commentator also considered this type of player to be "on the verge of extinction" in modern football, praising the way Prestianni always takes on the confrontation with the opponent and recovers the essence of a more authentic football.
