Nico Paz continues to make waves in Serie A, captivating fans and pundits alike with his exceptional performances. From football legend Francesco Totti to his former coaches at Real Madrid, there is a unanimous consensus that the young Argentine has a bright future ahead of him.
At just 21 years old, Paz has already established himself as a key player for Como this season, following a remarkable debut campaign in Italy. After netting six goals and providing nine assists last year, he has maintained his impressive form with three goals and three assists in the current season. His contributions have not gone unnoticed, as he was named “Rising Star” of Serie A for two consecutive months—August and September—highlighting his rapid ascent in Italian football.
A Talent Recognized
Paz’s playing style has drawn significant praise, particularly from Totti, who expressed his admiration for the young talent. “There aren’t many players in Italy who excite me right now… The only one I’m really interested in is Nico Paz. I’m very curious to see how far he can go,” Totti remarked. This endorsement from one of Italy’s greatest players speaks volumes about Paz’s potential and impact on the pitch.
From Youth to Stardom
Having honed his skills at Real Madrid’s Valdebebas academy, Paz made the leap to professional football with Como, where he has thrived. His former coach at Infantil B, Carlos del Rey, recalls a shy yet competitive player who transformed when on the field. “He came from Tenerife, quite introverted. But on the pitch, he was a different person—exuding competitiveness and natural confidence,” del Rey noted. This transformation has been evident as Paz adapted to various roles on the field, often deployed as a right winger where he could cut inside onto his favored left foot.
Marc Cucalón, a former teammate at Real Madrid’s youth setup, echoed similar sentiments: “He was different from the start. You could tell he had something special every time he touched the ball. He was promoted to Castilla while still a junior, which helped him mature into a leader.” Now at Como, he has all the tools necessary to become a player of great class and influence.
As Nico Paz continues to impress in Serie A, fans are left wondering: can he maintain this momentum and secure his place in Real Madrid’s first team next season? His journey is just beginning, but one thing is clear—he is a talent that commands attention.
