Forward Tomás Nasif, who is currently playing on loan at Banfield from River, has been highlighted as a revelation in the Apertura Tournament of the Liga Profesional. In just two matches, Nasif has scored three of the four goals with which his team, 'El Taladro', maintains a perfect score and an unbeaten defense in the tournament.
Nasif, 21 years old, reflected on his time at River, stating that he felt his cycle in the club's Reserve team was complete, which is why he decided to seek new challenges. Despite being a champion and one of the top scorers in the Copa Proyección Final with River's Reserve team last year, the forward understood the need to continue his development in a different football environment.
The player praised the training received at River from an early age, highlighting the culture of play and the importance of the River jersey. Nasif mentioned that, although he did not have the chance to debut in the first division with River, the weight of the jersey is undeniable for him in his football career.
Banfield was the team that bet on Nasif, noticing that he would not fit into River's coach Marcelo Gallardo's plans. The young forward was loaned out for a year without charge and without a purchase option, an opportunity he valued and has made the most of by demonstrating his skills on the field.
Regarding his new stage at Banfield, Nasif expressed his gratitude for the trust given and for having the opportunity to play, emphasizing his focus on the present and on giving his best in each match. His performance at the start of the season has been key to his team's good performance, reflecting his commitment and quality as an emerging footballer.
