Former Brazil U-17s coach Carlos Amadeu spoke to AS about Real Madrid starlet Rodrygo, who he knows very well from the international set-up.
Amadeu was also the coach who gave another of the Bernabรฉu club's Brazilian starlets, Vinicus, his debut for the South American nation's Under-15s.
"I think it's a great that a club of Madrid's stature is embracing young talent like Vinicius, Rodrygo, [Takefusa] Kubo and Brahim [Dรญaz]," Amadeu told AS.
"They should all be looking to be the future of the team. When I saw Vinicius and Rodrygo play at the age of 15, I knew they'd go far. They're players who take their man on and beat him time and time again, and who are constantly creating danger."
Rodrygo and Kubo have both earned plenty of media attention during Madrid's summer tour and, in the wake of the long-term injury suffered by Marco Asensio, an opportunity has presented itself for one of them to establish himself in the first-team fold. "If Rodrygo and Kubo are fighting for one spot, I think it'll be very close," Amadeu said.
"Rodrygo has a tough job on his hands, because Kubo also has bags of ability. They can both operate in a number of roles and boast real quality when it comes to delivering the final pass to the striker. They're both also got very good shots on them.

Zidane should encourage team work rather than individual performance this will do away with greed especially vinicius after all whoever scores is a win for the team not the scorer and above all Benzema should be on kept on the bench until he improves and ready to be serious.hands on the heas everytime brings no joy becos when you missed scoring chances minutes are dying .
You're right, the boy is unbelievable, he impressed me yesterday he almost scored he atleast made a strike on goal

Rodrygo is more of a winger I think he'll take Vinicius or Vasquez's spot. As for Kubo he hasn't played too well yet so maybe down the season he'll start to show his quality more and break into the first squad assuming pogba doesn't join.
