During the summer, it became evident that Nico Paz needed to leave Real Madrid to advance his career. He was too good for Castilla, but there was still little hope that he would break into Carlo Ancelotti's first team. In the end, he joined Serie A newcomers Como, who are managed by Cesc Fabregas.
Recently, Paz spoke with La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Marco) and his time at Real Madrid was one of the talking points. In particular, he spoke about Carlo Ancelotti, as well as some of his former teammates.
“(Ancelotti) knew how important it was for me. He knows what position he puts you in and he has a lot to ask of you. He knows how to get the best out of every player.
“It was fascinating to work with people so fast on their feet and brains, with so much talent. I've always loved Modric, since I was a child. Another one I admired a lot was Kroos. And then Rodrygo: I couldn't don't steal the ball, he's one of the most technical players I've ever seen.
Real Madrid have retained clauses that allow them to have a say in Paz's future, and the 20-year-old midfielder admitted he would welcome a return to the Santiago Bernabeu in the future.
“I hope I can come back Real Madridbut now I'm in Como and I'm focused on this club. I would give anything for this shirt.”
