Rodrygo and Football Life

Rodrygo and the extravagance of a football superstar

With their second consecutive victory in as little as a week, Real Madrid has allayed any concerns following harsh criticism of their style of play. Kylian Mbappe and his colleagues managed to score four goals against the opposition at the Bernabeu despite Espanyol’s five-man defense.

Real Madrid even trailed early in the second half at home before netting four goals in a row. Since the season began, Los Blancos have only scored once in the first half, thus this is an issue for them. After the game, coach Carlo Ancelotti stated that although it was a big issue, it was not too severe because the team had not lost in 38 games. Going back to what happened on the field, Aurelien Tchouameni’s debut as a center-back was the high point. Antonio Rudiger and Eder Militao would be rotated, according to Ancelotti’s own statement prior to the game. The Italian coach made the right choice in the end, as Tchouameni performed admirably in the position he had tried numerous times the previous season.

Six times, the French star was able to recover the ball against Espanyol. Having the attributes of a midfielder, Tchouameni has little trouble moving the ball forward. On several occasions, Los Blancos supporters were taken aback by his direct of the opposition’s defense.

When Ancelotti anticipated that the opposition would find it tough to, he would start Luka Modric on the field. Once more, he made the correct choice. The veteran, 39, had the most passes both on the field (85), and in the latter third of the field (31). In addition, he possessed nine superb crosses.

Modric the same; he consistently knows how to create passes that disrupt the defense of the opposition. When Kylian Mbappe has Modric’s support, he gains the most. The French striker nearly scored after his senior’s pass. Second only to Mbappe in terms of opportunities created at the end of the game was Lukita.

Since the previous season, Modric has acknowledged that he will no longer be playing on a regular basis. In sensible circumstances, he decided to stay and play on the field. Though his significance might not be as great as it once was, supporters might still see the Croatian star play more this season if he keeps up his current level of play.
