Former Brazil international Ze Roberto believes Rodrygo Goes has got what it takes to emulate Vinicius Junior at Real Madrid.
Rodrygo was presented as a Los Blancos player at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday, a year after the club paid a reported €45million to Santos for him.
Vinicius joined the LaLiga giants at the start of the 2018-19 campaign, becoming a fixture in the first team after the turn of the year before he suffered an ankle injury in March.
Ze Roberto – who had a brief spell with Madrid in 1997 – believes Rodrygo has already shown the attributes needed to be a success in Spain and has backed him to follow Vinicius lead.

Vinicius started his career very well in European football, he told AS.
He has a lot of personality and I believe that, when he gains more experience, he will become a significant player in the continent.
Rodrygo has everything to follow these steps. He also started very well at Santos and he seems to have a good head, like Vinicius.
When asked if the pair could become two of the world s best players, Ze Roberto responded: It is impossible to predict that today. It is better to wait.
