Awarded by goal.com with NxGn Best Young Player title, Real Madrid young hitman Rodrygo, a 2001-born who already capped twice for Brazilian full-side NT, stated: "You always work for and dream of winning such major prizes, and after you win them, it takes some time for it to settle in. It's an honour to receive this award. I think it'll really motivate me, and it gives me great confidence.
Before coming to Madrid, I visited Pelé's house and received his blessing before coming over. I remember one line he told me: 'Never be afraid of anything'. I'll always take that line with me. It has been so important for me, especially in my start to life here at Real Madrid".
