After the promising start to last season, when he played 27 games and scored seven goals, the Brazilian seems to find himself in a supportive position. So far it has been 16 games, with only one goal scored, but five assists distributed.
The moment of Rodrygo meets the excellent phase of Karim Benzema, who increasingly assumes the role of protagonist after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, being decisive in the meringues season. In the game this Sunday (20) against Eibar, the Frenchman gave two assists and scored once, with a pass from Rodrygo.
Constantly compared to Vinicius Junior, his teammate at Real Madrid, Rodrygo already has very similar numbers to those of the forward, even with fewer minutes on the field. In the few times they were together in the starting team, the Brazilians were real charms.
Sharing the lead with Atlético de Madrid (who have two less games), Real de Zidane is coming off a streak of four wins in a row, and is already putting pressure on Simeone’s. Qualified for the round of 16, the team will face Atalanta de Papal Gómez, in duels scheduled for February and March 2021.
