There is no doubt that he is an athletic, box-to-box midfielder, who is seen as a successor to Sergio Busquets. Only a few people have taken the time to read Rodrigo Hemandez’s biography, which is rather interesting. With that in mind, we shall now proceed.

To start off with, his full name is Rodrigo Hernandez Cascante. The name Rodri, as he is known or called by his fans, is actually just a nickname.

Dani Olmo Biography, Age, Parents, Wife, FIFA 22, Career, Net Worth & Wiki

Are you aware that the name “Hernandez” is a name borne by his father’s family, while the name “Cascante” belongs to his mother’s family? According to sources, Rodrigo is also known by the name Rodrigo Hernandez Cascante. The 22nd day of June 1996 was the date of his birth in Madrid, Spain.

Rodri is a true native of Madrileno when it comes to his family origins. The word Madrileno literally means that he is a native or an inhabitant of Madrid. The fact that Rodri grew up in the Spanish football city of Madrid as a young boy was only natural for him to fall in love with the beautiful game as a child.

Rodri was one of those little kids who molded something into a soccer ball and kicked it all day long. His parents wanted him to get an early start in football, so they taught him. However, he gave Rodri the assurance that he would not compromise his education for the sake of soccer training.

Rodri grew up in the capital of Spain, in a household of academics. From an early age he was instilled with the importance of education, a feat he carried with him through to adulthood despite making a lot of money from soccer.

As a Child, my parents have been instilling in me the importance of education since I was a little boy.

Rodri once said in an interview with Marca that he used to have his book in his left hand and a soccer ball in his right hand. Throughout his years at school, Rodri had the opportunity to play competitive soccer outside of school during his sports periods.

After school hours, he spent his free time on the football fields in his neighborhood nurturing and educating himself, an activity that pleased his parents and motivated them to take action on their behalf. Rodri’s parents gradually realized that their son was a good investment in soccer when it became clear at a certain point that Rodri was doing well.

Rodri’s love for the club and its fans has paid off full dividends as he was called by Atletico Madrid for trials. The passion Rodri has for soccer led to him passing his trials with flying colors in the year 2006 (at the age of 10) and enrolling at the local club, Rayo Majadahonda, which gave him the platform to build his career on.

Rodri Hernandez joined the Atletico Madrid youth setup at the same time as his teammate Lucas (his Atletico Madrid teammate) and his brother Theo Hernandez. It did not take long at all for Rodri and the Hernandez brothers to make an impression on the club. In order to help their club win the league, all of them played together with other 10-year-olds.

Rodri, the brothers Hernandez and the Hernandez brothers saw themselves go through another trial at the age of eleven, just one year after joining the club. They were able to successfully enroll in the youth department of Atletico Madrid this time. They were always together on and off the pitch, earning the nickname “the family” for the three of them.

In bad news, despite the fact that Lucas and Theo excelled at the club, Rodri’s development came to a halt despite his best efforts. According to the club’s management, he was accused of being too weak by the club. The poor performance issue persisted for a considerable period of time, which prompted Julian Munoz, the head of the academy at the time, to deport Rodri to Spain’s East Coast, where he joined the youth team of FC Villarreal.

For Rodri to leave the club where he dreamed of success was not an easy task at first. Both his parents and the entire family were of the opinion that he was being treated unfairly.

Did you know that? Rodri himself wasn’t that short and too weak at the time of his exit when he walked out. Although he was about 1.84 meters tall, he might have lacked some physical strength during that time. Rodri never gave up on Atletico Madrid, the club he grew up supporting, and did not give up on his dream. The dream of playing in the Spanish club never faded like a raisin in the sun, nor did it fester like a sore on his knee.

In no time at all, his prayers began to be answered. Rodri grew to a height of 1.91 meters, and miraculously, he also developed physically as well as technically. In just two years from the time the boy joined Villarreal, he was already a regular on the first team.

Rodri started making a name for himself in the year 2015 when he became a household name. In the following year, he helped his Spanish team win the UEFA European Under-19 Championship. Rodri was included in the Team of the Tournament alongside six other Spain players, including the Golden Boy of the competition Asensio.

During the competition, Rodri’s growth was clearly apparent as he was named the hottest and youngest property in Spain. What did you know? With Rodri’s ability to play with the ball, he became one of the most exciting young players who was regarded as a PERFECT KID at the base of any midfield. Rodri developed both as a man and as a footballer during his time at Villarreal.

The fact that Rodri has emerged as Spain’s hottest and youngest player has made Atletico Madrid regret the mistake of pushing him earlier. In an effort to ask for forgiveness, the club sorted out a way to do so, and it came through a plea to have the club’s lost Jewel return to his dream club.

In fact, on the 24 May 2018, Rodri the Atletico Madrid academy outcast returned to the club after reaching an agreement with Villarreal to transfer to them. Upon returning to the capital, the young Spaniard was filled with lots of expectations.

It was a meteoric rise to prominence for Rodri. Less than one year into his second stint with the team, he had already established himself as a household name. During the time in which he helped his team to win the UEFA Super Cup, this was clearly evident.

In the last few years, Rodri continued to develop himself into a player who can play with both feet; he specialized in saving the ball from high-pressure situations. It is this feat that attracted top clubs in Europe, among them, is Cep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

In the course of the 2018/2019 summer transfer window, Rodri decided to inform Atletico Madrid about his decision to leave the club after proving so many points.

It is believed that at the time of writing, there is a rumor that he is in talks with Pep Guardiola, who wants him to replace the aging Fernandinho. As football fans would say, the rest, as they would say, is history. In the wake of Rodri’s rise to fame, the questions on everyone’s lips became: “Who is Rodri’s Girlfriend or Wife?” “Is Rodri Married?” “Does Rodri have a Girlfriend?”

There is no doubt that his handsome looks combined with that 6 feet and 3 inches height would make him a darling vine to all the ladies out there.

Despite this, however, it is important, to tell the truth. As of the writing of this article, there appears to be a possible hidden romance on the horizon, one that escapes scrutiny simply because Rodri’s love life with his unknown girlfriend seems quiet and without drama.

By getting to know Rodri’s personal life, you will be able to gain a more complete picture of his personality. In the beginning, Rodri is someone who has always been open about the fact that his life isn’t only about football.

Rodri’s devotion to making sure his parents live a normal life and stay away from the media has a similar effect to his commitment to the pitch. During his presentation with Atletico, which was a big moment for him, he showcased his family members for the very first time.

It was during Rodri’s presentation that he brought around 40 friends and family members who saw him put on the Atletico shirt for the very first time. According to sources, his grandmother was overcome with emotion when she witnessed the realization of her grandson’s dream, and she displayed the most emotion that day as a result of the event.

Rodri’s family members are concerned about something even though he enjoys his popularity. So, let me tell you what happened once. The members of Rodri’s family, including his parents, once advised him to buy a new car as opposed to a second-hand Opel Corsa to ensure his safety during his journeys between Madrid and Castellon.

Did you know that? A star named Rodri refused the offer, stating that he did not understand why he would spend so much money on a car.

One time he actually told me that some of my friends were “crazy” for buying nice cars when all they needed was a car that could take them from A to B. That is all that matters.”

According to a close source, one of the following statements was made.

As of the time of writing, Rodrigo Hernandez has hardly cemented his place in Spain’s starting eleven. The reason for this is that Sergio Busquets, Saul Niguez, and Thiago Alcantara are still at the peak of their powers. There is only a matter of time before he surpasses them in terms of rank.
