Rodrygo’s G+A at the time he played left side of the attack while Vini was injured last season.

1. I’ve read some utterly stupid takes here today, claiming that Rodrygo was “a ghost” while Vinicius was injured.

   For me Vini will always be a better fit for the left side, but let’s not skew the reality – Rodry was playing good at that time and delivered **7 G+A in 7 matches**.

   Some folks here are straight up lying while talking about how invisible he was and how he missed his chance. We get it, you have an agenda against him, but please stick to the facts.

2. He plays better than Vinicius when it matters the most and he shows up in crucial moments. Just like Ramos he is “clutch” player. Real would be crazy to sell him.

3. Rodrygo’s stats would blow Vini out of the water if he had a full season on the left and a healthy team making him the focal point

4. Rodrygo super sub/starting on LW sometimes because this season we have an insane amount matches and it’ll prevent injury for both him and Vinicius was always my first choice.

   Never gonna happen though.

5. its no secret. We have 2 extra players on that left wing position. And 0 players for striker and right wing position (although rodrygo prob is better at rw compared to vini and mboope. ) Honestly almost looks like we did not need mboope at all if all our players want to play lw only. Needed a good guy in cm this window. Lets see what camavinga can do once he is back.

6. Put Rodrygo on any other team and we’d wish we would have him. He is legit top 3 LW in the world and if he ever leaves it’ll be a big mistake we’ll regret

7. Rodrygo is way better on the left but not better than Vini. Yes Rodrygo has better control, better shot and more maturity to his game but Vini is just faster, stronger and more intimidating to defenders. He has more tools for that LW.

   Rodrygo is getting wasted on that right side hugging the line but as of now there is no other choice.
