Rodrigo Bentancur wrote the manual for how to be a young performer and is now feeling increasingly at home in a leading role. His growth trajectory has been clear, linear and captivating. Game by game, his ability to take centre stage becomes more evident. The young Uruguayan is one of those players who promises a bright future, while managing to dazzle in the present.
Udine, Rodrigo’s first Serie A goal. A portrait of roaring happiness.
His best moment of the year. Fools the Fiorentina defence with a feint and strokes the ball home. A wonderful goal.
When you’re talented and brave, it doesn’t matter if the stage is already full, you find a way to emerge nonetheless.
