Talk to the Red Bulls about Alejandro Romero Gamarra and they gush over their new midfielder’s poise under pressure, his calm amid chaos. Turns out life taught him to deal with both.

“The ease he has with the ball in tight spaces, he doesn’t ever get fazed by the pressure around him. Things may be flying around him but he’s calm and collected,” Red Bulls sporting director Denis Hamlett told the Post of Gamarra, known as Kaku. “He’s able to create something out of nothing.”

Kaku the Creator. That’s not some character in “Avengers: Infinity War,” but MLS’ best newcomer and top playmaker with a league-high seven assists. The midfielder should be calm and collected. After facing possible death in 2016 bus crash, losing his mother last year and sweating out a protracted transfer saga this winter, handling a new team, new league and even new continent has been a breeze.

“You’re seeing all the things that make him special. He’s a difference-maker. He has the ability to change the game with a single pass,” Hamlett said. “He’s welcomed the challenge of coming here, learning our league our system. Credit him; he worked very hard at that.”

Hamlett worked hard to bring in Kaku following the Red Bulls’ ninth-place finish in last year’s Supporters Shield standings. After a protracted transfer drama with Huracan that dragged on for months and cost a club-record $6.25 million, Kaku has proven worth both the time and money.

“Days went by and everything was taking a lot longer than what was originally thought. It got to the point I told my lawyers I may have to return to practice with Huracan,” Kaku, 23, told The Post through an interpreter. “But there’s always that light of hope, and luckily everything worked out. Now I’m going through the best time of my career.”

That career is thriving for club and (he hopes) country, with Kaku set to make a one-time FIFA switch to Paraguay after having played for Argentina in the U-20 World Cup in 2015. But he nearly lost that career, along with his life, shortly thereafter.

On Feb. 10, 2016, after Huracan had won a Copa Libertadores match at Caracas, the team bus was headed to the airport in Venezuela when the breaks went out. It crashed into a ramp and flipped over, with several players severely injured.

“It was crazy,” Kaku said through an interpreter. “We were on a hill and had no breaks, so it started going faster and faster. It got to 140 kph [87 mph]. At the end of the hill there was a ramp and we hit it.

“I saw life differently, because in seconds you could be gone. So after that I started to put more value on family. Soccer is different. It’s more to enjoy and have fun. But you have to spend more time and enjoy the family. They’re the ones that’re always there for you, and you never know what could happen.”

That point was driven home last September. He got another lesson on the impermanence and fragility of life, his mother Gladys dying of illness.

“It was sudden. … At some moments it was really tough. To go from having her at all of my practices and games, and to not see her at the next game, it was a moment of sadness for me,” Kaku said. “It was really tough for me to get back to playing. … I couldn’t perform. Nothing was working for me because I kept thinking about it.”

One of Kaku’s early goals was to buy a house for Gladys (and his 11 siblings). Now making $709,090.80 according to the MLS Players Association. Now he is playing to honor her memory.

“I always wanted to be with her, and always wanted to give her a better life than what she had. I had a lot of dreams with her, and one of them was to be able to buy a house, and thank God I was able to buy it. It’s a unique happiness for me,” Kaku said. “She always wanted me to play and enjoy the game and everything that’s happening to me, but I always wanted for her to enjoy it with me.”

According to Kaku, little brothers Franco and Facundo — at the Huracan and River Plate academies respectively — want to join him with the Red Bulls, something Hamlett admits the club will look into. (Perhaps the Youth Transfer Fund?)

Kaku — who has stumped for the Red Bulls to add ex-Huracan teammate Ignacio Pussetto, whom they’ve shown interest in — literally wears his love for family on his sleeve. His left arm bears a tattoo of 3-year-old son Milo and his right one of wife Karen kissing 9-month-old daughter Catalina.

They’ve flown to Argentina to handle the house closing, as Kaka focuses on MLS.

“I thought it’d be slower. But as soon as I started playing I noticed the speed of the game is a lot faster,” said Kaku, who has two goals and five assists in his past three games as he adjusts from the Argentine league, where players are less athletic but more comfortable on the ball. “I worked really hard to be able to do my best on the field, and luckily everything is working out really well. [But] I can still do better.”

That comfort has helped the Red Bulls (6-3-0) — who play Sunday at Atlanta — enter the weekend tied for MLS’ third-best mark. They had the league’s best goal differential (plus-12), second-most goals (23) and third-highest scorer (Bradley Wright-Phillips’ six).

“What he brings to our team is ability in the final third, things he can see and his ability to make those plays,” Hamlett said. “That’s a special ability, and he has that at a young age. Guys appreciate that. I know Bradley appreciates it. He knows if he’s on the move Kaku’s going to find him.”
