The Christening of Óscar Rodríguez

The Moroccan Youssef En Nesyri converted the 0-3 of Sevilla in Rennes thanks to a precise and precious pass from Óscar Rodríguez. The former Leganés and Real Madrid midfielder had jumped onto the field for the last quarter of an hour of the game and finally took advantage of this minimal opportunity to provide decisive action for the first time since he was at Sevilla.

It is the beginning of the light at the end of the tunnel for Óscar, who barely adds 303 minutes of play since He arrived in Nervión transferred by Real Madrid in the summer market in exchange for just over 13 million euros. The 22-year-old player from Talavera de la Reina has only started in the league against Eibar and then came out as a substitute in four other games of the national championship. In Europa League he added three starting matches, against Chelsea and both against Krasnodar, but his first assistance came in France. A difficult start given the level of the red and white squad.

The young Oscar is attached to Lopetegui's way of playing, therefore. Just ask for more continuity and minutes to improve the good numbers he reaped with Leganés during the last two seasons on loan at Butarque, when he achieved 13 goals and six assists in just under 5,000 minutes of play. He still has a long time to evolve and train as a player in the elite.
