Brian Rodríguez off to a flying start this season, can he keep up the form? | OneFootball

Brian Rodríguez is having a very positive first half of the tournament, being by far the player who has generated the most goals and assists.

‘Rayito’ has scored four goals and provided five assists in 10 matches played (692 minutes), which gives us a goal or assist every 72 minutes played.

In terms of goals scored, the closest to him is Erick Sánchez, ‘Chiquito’ has scored three goals but hasn't managed to assist on any occasion, while in terms of assists, the closest is Isaías Violante who has only two.

Will he be able to maintain this level?

One of the major issues for Brian since he joined América has been his inability to be decisive in the knockout stages.

In fact, during the team's three consecutive championships, Brian was never a starter in the playoffs, being used more as an impact substitute coming off the bench.

For this tournament, they brought in Allan Saint-Maximin, a player who has already debuted with a goal and did so by coming off the bench in place of Brian Rodríguez.

It remains to be seen if the skillful Uruguayan winger can extend his very good form into the playoffs and be decisive for a Club América championship.
