Former teammate Comment ma Mingyu: Looks old and doesn't look as godly as Chinese blows

Older fans must remember Ma Mingyu, who was the captain of the Chinese national football team and the first Chinese player in history to land in Serie A. Recently, Ma Mingyu's teammate and former Italian famous defender Rivalta when he played in Perugia recalled Ma Mingyu's scene when he played in Serie A. Rivaltta joked that because Ma Mingyu looked "anxious", he was even suspected of changing his age.

Rivalta said: "What impressed us most was Ma Mingyu's appearance. We heard that a 30-year-old player was coming, but he looked like he was 40. We really don't know if the date of birth on his ID card is real. So we gave him the nickname Nonno (Italian for "grandfather"). However, Ma Mingyu said he prefers to be called 'Michelangelo' because he loves Italian culture. Unfortunately, due to the language barrier, it was difficult for us to communicate with him. ”

As for Ma Mingyu's technical ability, Rivalta believes that it can only be regarded as mediocre: "Chinese said that if Ma Mingyu could leave China earlier, he would become a generation of superstars." At this point, I think Ma Mingyu is an honest player, nothing more. He's willing to run more, willing to sacrifice for the team, technically he's not bad, he doesn't forget the team for the sake of his statistics. ”

Rivalta commented that Perugia introduced Ma Mingyu mainly to open up the Chinese market: "Perugia opened its doors to everyone at that time. At that time, Perugia had just made a huge profit from Nakata Hideshou, so the club's top brass wanted to continue to develop the Chinese market. Now, everyone is staring at China, but 16 years ago, obviously, it was a forward-thinking idea. ”
