Rodrygo is stronger than ever. Madrid want him to adapt to European football and he made the most of the lockdown to respond well. 'AS' affirms that he has put on 3kg of muscle during the quarantine thanks to the guidelines of his personal trainer, Marcel Duarte.
This specialist has been with him since the player was 13 years old. He knows his body perfectly and what exercises he should assign him so that he grows muscle mass. The aforementioned source adds to its information that the Brazilian has been doing a lot of weight-bearing work.
In fact, it was the club that asked him for this change. The coaching team understand that the youth team player has to adapt to European football, more physical, more contact, to continue progressing. However, you have to bear in mind that he is still 19.
It is working for him for now, as he has earned the confidence of his manager. In the first match after the break, he started. He played ahead of Bale and Asensio, who were two of the players called to play RW alongside Benzema and Hazard.
