Rodrygo’s Rise – From Young Prospect to Established Star

The Brazilian has already shed the stigma of being repulsive. He took a break after the Getafe match to be fresh on Wednesday.

When asked in October if he already thought of Rodrygo as a starter on crucial occasions, Ancelotti answered emphatically “yes”. A half ᴛʀᴜᴛʜ was told. The Brazilian was a substitute in the European Super Cup final, he only played for five minutes against Barça in the league’s October Clásico, and he only played for eight against Liverpool in the round of 16, but his most recent performances have irrevocably stripped him of the suit Eternal Revulsive to place the crucial player in the appointments highlighted in red. He took a break after the match against Getafe on Saturday to prepare for the match versus City on Wednesday. He has won a spot in Carletto’s starting lineup and will once more play a crucial role in overcoming Guardiola’s team’s resistance.

The So Paulo athlete needed more than four seasons to get rid of the number 12 player sign. His confirmation came during the previous season, but he was absent on practically all significant occasions. Only one of the seven games he played in the Champions League qualifying matches saw him start, and in one (the first leg against Chelsea), he didn’t even take the field. He just entered the game during overtime in the Paris final. His double versus City will go down in history, although he wasn’t on the same level as young players like Vinicius or Valverde. He had a significant role in the Fourteenth.

He began this course in the same dynamic, but thanks to overflow, versatility, and ambitions, he was able to completely change things. several objectives. His best stats after moving to Chamartin in 2019 are 16 goals and 11 assists in 52 games. Since his first memorable start against Liverpool in the first leg of the round of 16, virtually no one has been able to move him. He provided an assist at Anfield, scored twice against Chelsea before being substituted, and added two more goals in the Copa del Rey championship game.

Due to all of these factors, Real Madrid is putting their lives in ᴅᴀɴɢᴇʀ to compete in its fetish match this Wednesday at the Etihad. While the existence of some, like as Militao, is debatable (Ancelotti acknowledged Rüdiger’s possession), his appears to be almost certain. Like the seasoned players Alaba and Benzema, he was rested for the match against Getafe in order to recover from any minor discomfort and signal his status change.

Love Florentino’s “right eye” and Europe.

Brazil has traditionally been one of the Old Continent’s favorite nations. He scored a hat-trick against Galatasaray in his second game, and his ratios are sᴜʀᴘʀɪsɪɴɢ: in LaLiga, he averages 0.12 goals per game, and in the Champions League, he averages 0.39! After missing numerous open goals against Cádiz in April, he rose to the position of player who wasted the most opportunities among the five top European leagues (xG of -5.1). His recent goals have made up for his previous ineffectiveness in local competition, which contrasts with his fervor during the playing of the European anthem.

Both Florentino Pérez and Ancelotti have supported him as he has grown. The president has a particular soft spot for the former Santos and walked down to the Real Madrid locker room at the start of the year and at the conclusion of a game to reiterate a message with a sidelong glance at the paulista: “The good ones, always on the field.” It seemed that Carletto paid attention to him. He made Vinicius a global sensation in the previous season, and this semester has centered on another of his gems.

Every day in Valdebebas, the Italian is adamant about making the most of Rodrygo’s persona. He believes he possesses qualities that make him among the best on the planet (his capacity to make decisions and form connections inside himself stand out above all), and he now wants him to be the one to believe it, to add aggression and win without a ball. The Brazilian is quite fond of Davide, and he takes part in all of these discussions at Real Madrid City.

The striker described the European Cup as his “most special” competition weeks ago, but he didn’t know “how to explain it” at the time. He feels uplifted when the air has a fresh spring scent and irritated as the Champions League reaches its pivotal stage. He is reliable and a living illustration of how crucial patience is in soccer. He had to wait, but now that he’s won a number between 1 and 11, he knows just what to do next: ʟɪǫᴜɪᴅᴀᴛᴇGuardiola once more.
