In the last 16 of this year's World Cup, Spain unexpectedly crashed and burned, and the team has been criticized for its weak shooting, despite its skillful passing. At this time, the Liceu United striker Rodrigo is in great form, which is the striker that the Matildas desperately need. The 31-year-old scorer is expected to be selected for the national team again and help revitalize Spanish soccer.
Coming from the Real Madrid youth academy, Lodigo played for Valencia for six seasons, scoring 16 goals in La Liga in 2017/18 and representing Spain at the 2018 World Cup. However, his career has since hit a low point, scoring a total of just 13 goals in his first two seasons with Lens United in the summer of 2020.
However, Lodigo has made a magnificent turnaround this season and has contributed nine goals in 13 Premier League matches, including five solo goals in his last four matches, but former Spain boss Anriki has failed to call him up to the national team in a move that has sparked widespread controversy. The experienced veteran has been named by the media as one of the best five men to fall out of Spain's list.
With the departure of Anriki, Lodigo has finally turned the corner. As long as he maintains his current level of play, a return to the Spanish national team ranks is almost a certainty.
