Rodrygo impressed in the game against Sheriff; the Brazilian produced an assist, created 3 chances and won 5 of his 7 ground duels.
One Real Madrid fan on Tribuna.com was so impressed with the 20-year-old, he claimed that Rodrygo is better than Vinicius in terms of vision and intelligence.
Jaguar 23: "This guy [Rodygo] needs to play more centrally either as false no.9 or no.10 he is deadly when he is close to the penalty area he is very intelligent decisive and has better vision than Vini, if he was under Pep he would be winning Ballon d'Or. The manager needs to utilize him he isn't as explosive as Vini is, but he is more intelligent that's why his best position is false 9."
Jaguar received an immediate response from another Madridista Lindsay Dunn, who simply shut down the comparison.
Lindsay Dunn: "He [Rodrygo] is only 20 and his physique will get to a level where he can play 7,9,10, and 11.
"Comparing him to Vini is pointless unless one is looking to get some attention. They are friends and both are prodigies who happen to be playing for Real Madrid.
"Saying one is better than the other means nothing, as they both bring joy to Madrid fans - who cared if Messi was better than Neymar or if CR7 was better than Benzema?
"Why should we care if Vini or Rodrygo were better? they have shown they can play together and that's all that matters."
