Fiorentina, Antognoni: “Mastantuono is a number 10 and a half, a panda. He has a bit of Baggio, Bertoni, Dybala and... me. He can score 15 goals” | Goal.com India

Fiorentina icon Giancarlo Antognoni has lavished high praise on Franco Mastantuono, characterizing the young talent as a rare hybrid playmaker akin to an endangered panda. In his assessment, the prospect displays attributes reminiscent of Roberto Baggio, Daniel Bertoni, Paulo Dybala, and even Antognoni himself.
