Rodrygo is on the verge of a big success in Madrid
Rodrygo as an important example
Rodrygo is the clearest example. It is satisfaction in person. Madrid is so greased that some extravagances are allowed. Benzema, a figurehead throughout the season, did not take two penalties at El Sadar and felt an attack of pride. He wanted to tag everything, but he didn’t get it. This particular challenge added more minutes than anticipated to his presence on the field. An aspect of Madrid begins to repeat itself with surprising frequency. It imposes itself, and it does so without hesitation, in the second part. Three days after coming back to Seville, he went to Pamplona and shone again in the second half. Osasuna, free of tension after ensuring permanence, pressed with his usual nerve in the first half. Physical football, honest, without cheating. Football that deserves appreciation. He made life difficult for Madrid in the first half, but showed his inferiority in the second. A truffled lineup with indisputable starters and a few good-looking substitutes allowed us to observe a splendid version of the team. It’s the best news at this point in the season. It wasn’t like that for a long time. Ancelotti decided in October on a line-up that only admitted one modification: the right winger. The other positions were not touched, except for injury. On the right, the Italian technician has carried out a long casting. Asensio, Rodrygo, Hazard, Lucas Vazquez have passed through there from time to time and Bale in one of his cameos.
The mentality of Rodrygo
The winner has been Rodrygo, or at least this revitalized Rodrygo, author of transcendental goals and with all the appearance of feeling liberated. He stood out in Pamplona, in the position of Vinicius, who took a more than deserved break. Rodrygo returned, therefore, to his natural habitat. He burst in from the left at Santos, where he pointed out ways of figuring, of which Real Madrid took note. In Madrid he has rarely played in that division, generally assigned to the right side. If he has not felt uncomfortable, he has seemed so. Until recently he has been a player of moments, with brilliant flashes, but with an irregular trajectory, a fine, fast and withdrawn striker. He kept much more than he offered. He now begins to offer his entire repertoire. Rodrygo transmits fullness at a critical moment of the season. It is a luxurious addition to a team that had been squeezed in the previous months.
Subjected to constant comparisons with Vinicius, and vice versa, Rodrygo needs to prove the consistency necessary to rise to the title. At Real Madrid dilettantism is very bad, the player who does not guarantee a minimum of regularity, no matter how brilliant his flashes are. The young Brazilian striker can look around and ask questions around him. More than one will confirm this reality, which comes from very old
