Rodrygo Goes lleg a Madrid in 2019 he became a left winger, a position in which he triumphed in his native Santos; Little by little, he has been settling on the right, where last season he wreaked havoc in the Champions League; and finally Ancelotti is already clear that if Benzema is missing, he is the solution. Three attacking positions that he has solved, and with flying colors, in the last three games.
Going back, the 21-year-old Brazilian he stood out against Shakhtar at the Bernabu on the right; then he went as a battering ram in the league win against Getafe; and I finished as a left winger on Tuesday against the Ukrainian team in the second leg in Warsaw. And all in less than a week. A 3in1 from ‘Rodry’ that makes him the most versatile player on the team and, surely, the fittest.
They are ‘performance’ in this weekly trilogy They talk about 80 minutes in Madrid’s 2-1 against Shakhtar, where he was the MVP and scored a goal; 89′ against Getafe (0-1); and 68′ in Poland against the team from Donetsk (it was played in Warsaw due to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict). Rodrygo plays and gives solutions to Ancelotti who sees him today as essential in the attack. For this reason, he heads towards eleven at the Bernabu for El Clsico.
All in all, Rodry accumulates a goal and an assist in the four Champions League games, for three goals and two goal assists in the six league games he has played. Some great numbers for a player who, in addition, offers effort in the defensive retreat.
Rodrygo’s merit is greater because came to Real Madrid as a stiletto on the left. Being Vinicius, intelligently, he specialized in the right, his natural leg, to offer an alternative in attack. And he has already achieved it.
Rodrygo is… Rodry and 10 others on Ancelotti’s mind today.
