Jaime Cancella de Abreu analyzed the Argentine's meteoric rise and highlighted the maturity of the Benfica player. "Prestianni has become a man and turned into a massive star. Please, all of you who predicted his downfall, pack up your violins and move on", the commentator said on his Facebook account.
