Rodrygo hails idol Neymar as 'an absolute genius'
Rodrygo is making a name for himself with Real Madrid and Brazil, but the 20-year-old remains in awe of those he idolised growing up and considers fellow countryman Neymar to be “an absolute genius”.
The Blancos forward is also a big fan of club colleague Casemiro, who he has billed as “a phenomenon” and “the best defensive midfielder in the world”.
NxGn 2020 winner Rodrygo is hoping to become one of the world's best in the future, with a hot prospect looking to follow in the footsteps of those that he holds in the highest regard.
