KEY POINTS

  • Real Madrid’s Rodrygo is expected to develop further as a winger
  • Expectations are high for Zinedine Zidane and Real Madrid
  • Zidane may utilize the 19-year-old as a key member of the squad

The development of players in Real Madrid is one of the key strengths of the club as Rodrygo is seen as one of Zinedine Zidane’s reliable athletes with high potential. The strategy for Los Blancos is to ensure these players are given the opportunity to grow and attain success in their careers.

Throughout Rodrygo’s maturity as a football player, he has been through several experiences that have escalated his skills as an athlete. The 19-year-old has a lot more to learn but early signs have indicated that he’s bound for more in the years to come. Considering Real Madrid will not be signing any major deals over the summer, having Rodrygo step up in a higher role would benefit the club, per Fansided’s The Real Champs. Playing mostly as a right-winger, he has suited up for Zidane’s squad in 26 appearances where he has scored seven times.

The recent Champions League was a productive stretch for the Brazilian star as he was able to tally four goals and notch three assists within just five games. One of the more impressive performances he displayed was the hat trick against Galatasaray that propelled Real Madrid to a 6-0 victory.

The young rising star was reported to have gained muscle that could serve him well on the pitch. This will complement his dribbling ability and will welcome more physical activity as he’s scouted to enjoy cutting inside. With the combination of his speed and a pass success rate of 87.6%, Rodrygo’s potential is looking bright for the future.

The current landscape of the football transfer market is on the edge of their seats with the news of Lionel Messi wanting to leave Barcelona. As everyone is anticipating the news of where the legendary player will suit up next, it’s also interesting to monitor how teams will continue to hone their existing talent.

It will be vital to see how Real Madrid moves forward with a talented prospect in Rodrygo showing signs of improvement. Expectations are high for Zidane’s Real Madrid and it’ll be important how they will build their team for the years to come.
