“He’s an old-fashioned centre-forward, not too tall, with powerful legs, he knows how to move in the last thirty metres, he likes contact with the defender, he moves well, disappears and reappears. For me he’s the new Lautaro.” This is how Simone Tiribocchi commented on the performance of Santiago Castro. The Bologna striker, interviewed by SportWeek he commented that he has often been compared to the Inter captain: “At the beginning I was proud of him because he is my idol, as was Tevez who I was also compared to. But now I prefer that people talk about me for what I want to be judged like Santiago Castro and that’s it.
What type of player am I? Someone who gives one hundred percent throughout the game and who, even when he plays badly, always puts his mind to it and fights for his teammates. What if I consider myself an old-fashioned attacker? Yes. For me, scoring goals is the best. Tevez and Kun Aguero also played a lot for their teammates, like Lautaro now, but when the ball passed into the area, even just once or twice a game, they were there, ready to hit the net.
What if they call me Torito to approach Lautaro? Yes. They started calling me that in Velez.”
