"Real Madrid" and Brazil national team forward Rodriqo spoke about how he is inspired by his compatriot Neymar. The 23-year-old footballer emphasized that playing alongside the legendary striker for the national team is a great honor for him. Goal.com reports on this.
Rodriqo, like Neymar, is a product of the "Santos" club academy. He was only nine years old when Neymar made his debut for the Brazil national team in 2010.
Nine years later, they became teammates in the national team.
«Playing alongside a hero like Neymar has been an incredible experience. You can learn so much by watching his training, his mindset, and his approach to important matches», — Rodriqo said in an interview with GOAL.
Currently, Rodriqo is also striving to be a role model for the new generation. Coming from the outskirts of San-Paulo, he has managed to make 297 appearances for a giant club like "Real Madrid".
The footballer urged young people to play with joy on the field and to remain disciplined.
Unfortunately, Rodriqo underwent surgery due to a serious knee injury and will be out of action for some time. However, he promised to return even stronger and to achieve great victories in the future.
