Nico Paz Explains Why He Didn't Return to Real Madrid

Argentine international Nico Paz has shed light on his decision to forgo a return to Real Madrid, opting instead to remain with Como for the current season. The attacking midfielder was even bought outright by the Italian club for €60 million, though the Spanish giants retain a buy-back option for €80 million at the end of the season.

“I felt that I would develop the most here at Como. I believe I made the right decision and I’m glad I did,” the footballer stated after last night’s impressive 4-1 victory over RB Leipzig in the Champions League.

The midfielder also commented on the match itself: “It was a historic night. We played an incredible game. We had a huge desire to perform in this match. I think we approached it in the best possible way. We are very happy with our performance.”

Italian football legend Fabio Capello spoke with the player after the game: “I demand a lot from you, and when you don’t perform exceptionally, I’m not satisfied. Tonight you weren’t perfect; you can give even more. You are my obsession.”
