A game in between Alcoyano and Real Madrid is special, but it is more important to Jose Rodriguez than for anyone else.
Now 26 and playing Maccabi Haifa, Rodriguez made his debut for Real Madrid in that same game as a 17-year-old in the 2012/13 season under Jose Mourinho.
The youngster played the second half, scoring Los Blancos’ third goal on the day, making him one of the most famous youngsters at the club at the time, and one that was adored by Mourinho.
Eight years later Alcoyano against Real Madrid, Caught up with MARCA Rodriguez.
Yes, I’ve said it before. It was without a doubt the most important time of my career and the best of my life.
It was kind of a crush between us, I don’t know how else to describe it. It was a very special feeling. He helped me a lot.
I entered the game and didn’t think I would play or score. I remember it was not only the goal, but I also played a good game. I had my time in the first team and I took advantage of that. Scoring a goal makes the debut of a 17-year-old boy, but it wasn’t just the goal.
