Real Madrid Confidencial Bellingham Reveals Who the Best Player at Real Madrid Is, Neither Mbappé nor Vinícius
English praised Rodrygo's talent, considering the Brazilian to be the most technically gifted on the team.
Jude Bellingham Has Surprised With His Statements After Real Madrid's Latest Match. In the post-match interview with CBS Sports, the Englishman revealed who he considers the most talented player on the team.
"Rodrygo is the most talented player on the team. The things he can do with a ball are unbelievable. He kicks it up, and you wonder: 'How does he do it?'. When I try, I twist my ankle" (laughs), Bellingham stated.
Rodrygo, the Most Sacrificed
Despite his talent, Rodrygo is also the most disadvantaged player due to his versatility. His natural position is left winger. But at Real Madrid, he has had to adapt to playing on the right and even as a forward.
Carlo Ancelotti trusts him as a right winger to balance the attack. The left wing is reserved for Vinícius Junior, which forces Rodrygo to perform in a less comfortable area.
Even so, his performance remains key for the team.
Exhibition Against Manchester City
In the 3-1 victory against Manchester City in the play-offs for the Champions League round of 16, Rodrygo delivered a spectacular performance. He was the second highest-rated player of the match with 8.2, only behind Mbappé, who received a 9.5.
The Brazilian drove Gvardiol crazy throughout the match and assisted Mbappé in the Frenchman's second goal. His precision was impeccable: he completed all 31 passes he attempted, achieving 100% effectiveness despite always playing in the opponent's half.
Additionally, he executed two precise crosses, made three key passes, and completed two of the five dribbles he attempted. A technical display that reaffirms his importance to the team.
His Numbers Speak for Themselves
This season, Rodrygo has played 35 matches, in which he has scored 13 goals and provided eight assists. His influence on the white attack is unquestionable.
His ability to play in various positions has secured Ancelotti's trust, although it has also prevented him from settling into his ideal role. However, his talent is recognized even by his teammates.
Bellingham's words confirm it. Rodrygo is a special footballer within Real Madrid's locker room. Perhaps the most talented of all.
