Rodrigo Mora is one of the existing figures in the FC Porto team. For many it is imaginable that there will be a surprise, so it is imaginable that A BOLA will continue. This article, originally published on November 26, 2023, says all the right things about the talented racer:
Do alto dos seus 168 centímetros de altura, Rodrigo Mora cresceu para a história (uma vez mais) no passado dia 11 de novembro. Já era o mais jovem de sempre a jogar nos escalões profissionais do futebol português – estreia pela equipa B do FC Porto em janeiro, aos 15 anos, 8 meses e 10 dias de idade -, agora tornou-se o mais jovem de sempre a marcar, na Liga 2, com 17 anos, 1 mês e 23 dias de vida.
The young dragon has put the exact salt in Peñafiel’s scoring goal, because the aerial game will be a primary virtue, but he intends to ensure that the difference is even in the cockpit. “He is a different, special player, with enormous intelligence. He is an adiantized intellectual, like a costumo dizer. ”
A curious investigation by Nuno Pimentel, now coach of the B team and the Santa Clara U-23 team, but in 2021/22 Rodrigo Mora is the coach of the FC Porto U-15 team. “I know the bottom stairs. It used to be under-14 and had 3 party members opposing a small team. Then, when the exercise is run, I notice a logo that has an amazing feature for creating the theme: it is attached to the game. I love betting and practicing. “It infects all people like this prazer,” the 43-year-old athlete recorded, in a verbal exchange with A BOLA.
Nuno Pimentel has in Mora an “enormous ability to anticipate what I will find, in collaboration with a subtle technical rapporteur. ” “Joga e faz jogar. This bureaucracy is a movement, an anticipation, a complementary environment for them and for our colleagues.
Go play before everyone else. This is how the flirtatious young man unearths himself at the front of the tempo, as if subscribing to Francisco Guedes. Several others have won Rodrigo Mora’s aggregate as the other Torreense under-23 player. It has been 11 years in the formation of FC Porto and, by others, it is named after the goalkeeper’s promise.
“Rodrigo has technique, he has to face many players in La Liga, but it seems to me that he is fitter than him in space, as he anticipates scenarios. It is very important for La Liga 2, for them, that “I have been 16 years, avoid physical duels”, refereed the midfielder, 3 years later.
Em conversa com A BOLA, Francisco classifica Rodrigo como um «10 à antiga». «Gosto muito do estilo dele, daquilo que dá à equipa. É muito diferente do que vemos hoje em dia. Muitos treinadores prescindiram desses jogadores, desse papel, mas vejo o Rodrigo assim. Liga o jogo, é muito bom no último passe, e tem uma leitura de jogo incrível», resume.
Nuno Pimentel não discorda, mas faz questão de afastar a ideia de que o antigo pupilo jogue de ‘cadeirinha’. «Ele tem compromisso defensivo. A inteligência permite-lhe perceber os momentos de pressão, mostrar sacrifício. É um jogador contínuo, rotativo, de grande compromisso. Eu diria que é um 10 atual: comprometido, intenso, que entende os vários momentos do jogo», considera o técnico.
It is not so complicated to climb the ladder that leads to the elite of football, but Rodrigo Mora, who discovered the logo of FC Porto’s goalkeepers nine years ago, is now in a position to do so. balance, until the pai percorreu esses degrades. José Manuel, 52 years ago, wore shirts from Leixões, SC Braga and Moreirense, among others.
«O pai é o apoio mais importante na carreira do Rodrigo. Claro que a mãe e a irmã também estão próximas, dão opinião também, mas o pai, até pela experiência profissional que teve, chega de outra forma», explica o cunhado Francisco Guedes, que assume que «o futebol é sempre assunto lá por casa». «Se não é pelo Rodrigo, é por mim. A família leva sempre com o futebol, mas é tudo tranquilo, sem pressão. Só fazem ver ao Rodrigo que é ainda um miúdo, que é preciso equilíbrio. Tanto agora está muito bem, a jogar na Liga 2 pelo FC Porto B, e também na seleção sub-17, como amanhã pode estar mal, ou então até pode estar ainda melhor», acrescenta.
Nuno Pimentel had the opportunity to get to know Rodrigo Mora’s country during his training (2022/22), and he did not have the opportunity to paint with a young user “very forged in social components”. “He is humble, hard to paint and very serene in human relationships. It is a familiar and forged path that transmits principles and values. The other young people can easily believe it, but Rodrigo will find it difficult to sit down,” he said.
Francisco Guedes understood that Rodrigo’s country “always reinforced the importance of school”, and that having the hard life of the soccer player as the maximum demand, the young dragon tried to advance in his secondary school, in mastering languages. and human sciences. “L’irmã is at the university, in the restaurant, and is an example for him. O Rodrigo got several notes, and they identified them. If we can be in football, we can also be in our studies,” he says.
In a colloquial context, Rodrigo is described as a miúdo “super recorded, who is in dizer piadas and in infecting all people, even when he likes coisas correm menos bem no futebol”. “Fora desse ambiente est muito timido e envergonhado”, explains the brother-in-law, who also shows that Rodrigo Mora loves to be at home, in a console game or in several series. “At that moment, you want to force a bite to have anything. “I like it,” he says.
Rodrigo Mora “I started running 20 years ago,” and at the same time there is still a long way to go. In reality this is what happens at four in the afternoon, and there is no direction that can be controlled. But among everything that depends on you, transmit security to this young man as one of the great promises of FC Porto and Portuguese football.
«I say it is to keep the people on land and make the path of it. He admires him a lot, also through his family, but he must make a journey, who is going to go wherever he wants, he has to count on the level that places the game and does not work. I didn’t think about believing what I could do, but what I said is to grow, put a price on what you need and think about what you need. This is the most productive way. ” What I can do,” said Francisco Guedes, who ignored the participation of public opinion: “Éum orgulho vê-lo triunfar, sinto-me um irmão plus velho. “
Nuno Pimentel had a remote view of a coach, accustomed to exceeding expectations, but hesitated to say that Rodrigo Mora “was a different, special player. ” “A skill with values, apaixonado pelo treino, pela competição. It is evident that there is still a subjectivity, but it is fully accredited without potential. If you have stages of naturalness, with luck, with lessons, the short/medium term can be rather a product of excellence in Portuguese football”, concludes the former FC Porto U-15 Coach, now with the B team and the submarines . -23rd Santa Clara.
In the final phase of the 2021/22 U-15 National Championship, Rodrigo Mora risks a duel with Benfica, due to an eye problem. “Desabou em choro perante a possibilidade de falhar o jogo”, recorded Nuno Pimentel, who was the coach of the beginner dragões team. “The chorus compulsively says in the middle that I need to play and I’m doing my best. I wore our glasses at Edgar Davids and made a game. This is a sacrifice, this is peace for the game. Showing his character, even in his hometown,” he has just surpassed the time of the coach of the B team and the Santa Clara U-23 team.
Rodrigo Mora is described as an incredibly competitive young man. Even the 3 were loaned out much earlier, as if to have more games. But this is also what will happen with victory over football, even when the environment is more open. “At the height of covid-19, we are at the console one or the other, at a distance, and we are chatting when we lose. I say that my father is lying down or tidy, or that he was in front of the television. Today they still helped me, however in the past it was the opposite, and they still have a waiver. Mesmo a jogar à los angeles totas est super batoteiro, quer ganhar sempre. It’s very engraved,” says brother-in-law Francisco Guedes, now with Torreense’s U-23 team.
