Some say lightning doesn't strike in a similar place twice. In any case, they've plainly never been to the Vila Belmiro.
The dilapidated old stadium – home to acclaimed Brazilian club Santos – has made a propensity for offering ascend to a portion of the world's finest footballers. Santos is the club that created Pele, Neymar and Robinho, and they might be nearly rehashing the trap.
Rodrygo Goes, the 17-year-old assailant who is the most recent off the generation line in the port city of 1million individuals, is accounted for to be near joining Real Madrid for some place in the locale of €50million.
Regardless of his young age, Rodrygo has just been singled out as one to watch out for quite a while. When he was only 11 years of age, he marked an agreement with Nike, turning into the most youthful Brazilian to do as such, beating the past record of 13.
That record, obviously, had a place with Neymar.
The examinations between the two, given their experiences, are inescapable. In any case, they are something Rodrygo needs to keep away from. In 2017, when the similitudes were put to him by Brazilian columnists, he answered, "I need to be the new Rodrygo and do things that no one but I can do."
Up until now, he has approached that errand in the correct way. In the Santos youth groups, he found the middle value of right around two objectives for each amusement and won applauses from all who saw him contact the ball.
After a U15 competition in 2016 – in which he was voted best player – Brazil legend Zico disclosed to ESPN Brasil that, "Rodrygo has a great deal of system, capacity and plays for the group. He was enormously essential in their triumph and has a delightful future in front of him."
The youthful forward, as you might have the capacity to tell from the last four expressions of Zico's first sentence, has an identity and playing style unmistakable from that of his antecedent in the part of Santos ponder kid.
Off the pitch, he is accounted for to be calm, centered and unblinkingly devoted to his calling, despite the fact that regardless he needs to join football with his school work.
Additionally, not at all like his more seasoned comrade, Rodrygo will no doubt wind up as a focal assailant, in spite of by and by being sent out wide. A few of his objectives for Santos have originated from keeps running in behind the last man or short proximity tap-ins, while the current PSG star wants to get the ball in more profound territories.
This shouldn't imply that that Rodrygo can't utilize his speed and brisk feet to float past protectors, in any case.
In March this year, with his group down to 10 men in an intense Copa Libertadores tie against Nacional of Uruguay, he grabbed the ball on the midway line before skipping down the left wing, beating two safeguards and slipping the ball under the onrushing 'manager.
With the strike, he made what could have been a ghastly amusement for Santos into an agreeable triumph, indicating identity past his years and turning into the most youthful Brazilian to ever score in South America's head club rivalry.
In late May, he afresh drew the world's consideration as he stowed a cap trap in a group amusement against Vitoria. The objectives, all coming in varying behavior, demonstrated that he has the important exhibit of abilities required to make it to the best.
The first was a poacher's exertion, responding quickest to a parried header. The second was a splendid bit of ability, jinking along these lines and that before opening it past the goalie. What's more, the remainder of the three demonstrated his pace and quality as he kept running on to a through-ball and held off a safeguard to give himself a basic wrap up.
There is almost certainly that the most up to date 'Menino da Vila', as Santos' institute items are known, has all the vital ability to flourish in Spain.
Ability alone, however, is no certain fire forerunner of progress. The years in the vicinity of 18 and 21 are fundamental in any player's improvement and Rodrygo would not be ensured prompt first-group minutes were he to move, perhaps restraining his advance.
Spending that kind of cash on one so youthful, in this manner, remains a gigantic hazard with respect to the purchasing club.
Rodrygo's present partner Gabriel Barbosa can bear witness to that. He moved to Inter Milan for €30million in 2016, yet after only nine disillusioning appearances in Italy and a short spell on credit at Benfica, he has come back to his childhood club trying to reconstruct his certainty.
To make Real's mooted move for Rodrygo significantly more unimaginable, it would be the second time in minimal over multi year that the club has sprinkled such an amazing charge on a crude Brazilian adolescent aggressor.
In May 2017, Los Merengues separated with €46million to anchor the administrations of Vinicius Jr, will's identity setting out to collaborate with his new colleagues when he turns 18 in July. Rodrygo, on the off chance that he moves, may have the capacity to join Vinicius in January 2019.
The match will confront comparative difficulties on the off chance that they do wind up together in Madrid and both have far to go before they can be considered among the best footballers on the planet – a pre-essential for any individual who needs to flourish at the Santiago Bernabeu.
With these exchanges, it appears that Real are endeavoring to compensate for the way that they passed up a great opportunity for Neymar in 2013, when he moved to most despised opponents Barcelona. The distinction with Neymar, notwithstanding, is the age at which he went along with one of the world's greatest clubs.
It is reasonable that Los Blancos would need Vinicius and Rodrygo to move at the earliest opportunity. They are, all things considered, immense budgetary speculations that require insurance. In any case, the time they will unavoidably spend in the adolescent and save groups at Real would doubtlessly be more gainful were it to be utilized playing first-group recreations in South America.
For Brazilian football, we can dare to dream the most recent electrical jolt to strike the Vila Belmiro keeps on sparkling on the off chance that he makes the move to the Spanish capital. It's not possible for anyone to foresee with sureness, be that as it may, regardless of whether Real's bets will pay off.
