Jose Rodriguez is young and talentedmidfielder who can act in several positions at once. Best of all at the moment he manages to play the role of a so-called breakwater, that is, a defensive midfielder performing defensive functions. But he can also play higher in midfield and even on the right flank, that is, the right winger. He is only 21 years old, so for now he is only looking for his calling and a place in the sun. In this article, you will learn how this Spanish footballer ended up in Germany and what awaits him in the future.
Carier start
Все в курсе того, что свою профессиональную José Rodriguez began his career in Real Madrid, but he was not there immediately. When he was only eight years old, Jose entered the football academy of the club "Villajoyosa", in which he worked for five years. Later he moved to the structure of the club "Hercules", which was a bit larger and more famous, until in 2009 he was not noticed by junior scouts from Real Madrid. The fifteen-year-old guy seemed to them very talented, so he was asked to go to the academy of the "Royal Club". Naturally, he agreed, because every player wants to play for one of the strongest teams in the world. And three years later, he was offered a professional contract, which he happily signed. So Jose Rodriguez became a football player of “Real”, however, unfortunately, he did not succeed in this club. In his first season, he four times went on the field in a t-shirt of the “royal club”, after which he was sent in a double. There, in two years, he spent sixty matches, in which he distinguished himself with four scored goals. He did not have any prospects for the first team, so in 2014 it was decided to lease the 19-year-old player.
Rent in "Deportivo"
José Rodriguez - the football player who showedvery good football in the double of “Real”, but clearly did not fit the “royal club” level. Therefore, he was sent for playing practice at Deportivo. There, a young talent immediately gets a place in the base and begins to demonstrate their best qualities. As a result, he spent 27 games for the club, scoring two goals, but his performances did not convince the leadership of the Madrid club. Therefore, when the lease ended, José Rodriguez Martínez found himself in a difficult situation - his contract with the club expired and he needed a new team. Of all the options he chose the most prestigious, but not the easiest.
Go to "Galatasaray"
Many Spanish clubs like Deportivo wantedSign Rodriguez, but he decided not to choose the simplest option - he chose the prospect. As a result, in 2015, a 20-year-old player joined the Turkish “Galatasaray”. There, he, unfortunately, was unable to adapt quickly, so he did not appear on the field as often as he would have liked. For the entire season, he played 21 matches in all tournaments. Moreover, the unstable political situation in the country forced many players to leave the Turkish clubs - Rodriguez was among them. As a new club, he chose the German “Mainz 05 ″, which paid the Turks about two million euros for the transition midfielder.
New beginning in Mainz
Now the football player has a new chance to showyourself at your best. “Mainz 05” is the team of the middle of the table in the Bundesliga, which sometimes shoots. And now she is in the Europa League, so Rodriguez will have the opportunity to play internationally. But while his performances for the club darkened by his own stupidity. In the cup match, he played 90 minutes, but in the German Championship match he came off the bench at the 85th minute - only to make a rough foul on the opponent at the third added minute. Rodriguez received a red card, and at the same time a five-match suspension. Now he will have to wait a while before continuing to play for the club. But only he will have to compete with more experienced players in position, such as Latza and Frey. There are still a lot of matches ahead of him, so this player still needs to be watched more closely, as he has a lot of potential.
National team appearances
To date, Rodriguez has never beenhe was called up to the Spanish national team, because he is still too young and does not have such an outstanding talent as, for example, Saul Nigiez, who, at his 21, already received a call to the national team. However, at the moment Rodriguez is in favor of the Spanish youth team under the age of 21. He made his debut in this age category in March 2015 in a match against the Norwegians. The first scoring action, he was noted in the October game against the national team of Sweden. However, since November 2015, when he played his last match with the Georgians, Rodriguez does not get into the national team's bid - largely due to the fact that he had no match practice at Galatasaray. But in “Mainz” he has a chance to reach the last level and return to the national team under the age of 21, in order to then hope for a challenge to the adult national team.
