My Take
Mateo Retegui is one of those modern footballers whose identity is a story in itself. Born in San Fernando, Argentina, steeped in the country's footballing DNA, he chose to represent Italy at international level, and then kept scoring after moving to the Saudi Pro League. I find that combination genuinely compelling. Carrying the weight of a national-team choice while still producing goals takes a peculiar mental steadiness, because a striker's whole job comes down to staying calm in the box. That his finishing instinct travels across countries and leagues tells me the goalscoring is wired into him, not the environment.
