RodrygoSo we waited and waited. In the end we had almost closed a deal with another big European team. All Rodrygo had to do was sign.
Practically, there was no way out.
Rodrygo apjaI had almost accepted that I would not play for Real Madrid. But for some reason, I still had 1% hope. We were about to play Vitória at the Vila Belmiro when Dad told me about this other deal. I was like, “What about Madrid?”
He was like, “Pô, nothing….”
So I said, “Let’s wait just a little bit more.”
RodrygoI thought he was crazy. The offer we had on the table was incredible. I was telling him, “You have to take what you are given.”
Rodrygo apjaI was like, “Just wait and see. I’m gonna score three goals this weekend, and Madrid will come.” My parents said they hoped so, but I could see it in their eyes that they didn’t believe.
The game kicked off.
22' Goal Rodrygo
26' Goal Rodrygo
31' Goal Rodrygo
Hat trick in nine minutes.
At halftime, I’m sure Madrid were looking for my dad’s number.
RodrygoI got a call right after the match. “Is your son interested in playing for Real Madrid?”
When I got home I said, “I told you so!! Anything from Madrid?”
My dad was like, “Nooooo, nothing.”
I’m devastated, you know? The next day I have no training. I’m up playing video games when I see my dad heading out the door. He’s all suited up. I ask my mum where he’s going. “Oh, just to meet a friend.”
Late that night he finally comes home. I’m still playing video games in the living room. He walks past me. Says nothing. Goes into my room.
When he comes back, he hands me the Real Madrid shirt. On the back, it says RODRYGO.
He says, “Son, today your dream has become reality.”
I look at him.
I look at the shirt.
I just don’t understand.
Then Dad explains everything: That he got a call right after the game, that he had gone to São Paulo that day and signed the deal, and that he didn’t want to tell me anything before the transfer was secured.
We hug. It’s a miracle.
Only God could have made this happen.

Akkor gondolom a Barca volt ez a másik klub.
Ennyit számít ha kitartó valaki és nem ír alá mindenféle rossz csapathoz azonnal
Amúgy érdemes elolvasni az egészet, nagyon jó.
Nagy Realos volt egész életében, de ez látszik is rajta szerencsére.
