Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Édouard Mendy’s “Little Brother” interview!
He had not scored since October 19, it was in the first leg at Shakhtar Donetsk, Rodrygo scored a crucial goal last night in the 80th minute. This season, as since he has been at Real Madrid, the young Brazilian has shown that the Champions League clearly seems to please him. In almost three years, he has found the fault eight times in C1, three times in La Liga, but zero times in 2021-2022. Under Carlo Ancelotti since the start of the current financial year, he has only scored in Europe, a rather crazy contrast, especially since it is not the first time that he has delivered his own in this way.
Yesterday, it was Luka Modrić who gave him a superb (to put it mildly) decisive pass with the outside of his foot. Rodrygo therefore did not fail to pay tribute to him after the match:
” We always joke about it, but Modrić is like a father to me. He always helps me a lot, whenever I need something he is always there to help me. It’s an honor to play with him. […] The best goal of my career? Yes, I would say yes. Modrić always tells me to attack space and that’s what happened. His assist… I don’t know how he does it (laughs). It looks easy, but it’s not! »
to summarize
Rodrygo is a man of great evenings. On weekends, on Spanish lawns, he is bored, but on weekdays, in the Champions League, he finds his favorite playground. He showed it again last night and it’s partly thanks to the magnificent Luka Modrić.
