Young Brazilian striker Rodrygo Goes is going through a difficult time at Real Madrid, accumulating 855 minutes of play without scoring a single goal, despite his constant dedication on the pitch.

The season had started promisingly for Rodrygo, who scored Real Madrid’s first goal in the 2-0 away victory against Athletic Bilbao. However, since that goal, he has been unable to find the net again, whether in La Liga or the Champions League.

Undeniable effort, elusive results

During the recent clash against Sevilla, Rodrygo had another difficult evening. Despite an undeniable effort and several scoring opportunities, he failed to make it happen. The young Brazilian striker showed perseverance, but luck did not smile on him.

However, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti praised Rodrygo’s efforts after the match. “For me he was one of the best in the team, if not the best,” said the Italian coach, highlighting the player’s intelligent moves and determination despite numerous failed attempts.

There is no doubt about Rodrygo’s situation, and the 22-year-old is not trying to hide it. Despite the pressure and expectations, he recently expressed his desire to play on the side rather than as a center forward, which caused some controversy.

However, even though he is going through this difficult period, Rodrygo remains at the top of Real Madrid’s statistics in terms of shots, off-target shots and blocked shots in La Liga this season. With his determination, it is very likely that the young Brazilian prodigy will eventually find his way back to goal.
