68 million pounds, which is equivalent to euros, is about 77 million euros, and in the latest update of the global transfer value ranking in 2022, even the top 30 cannot be squeezed.

But for Arsenal, who have always been good at budgeting and doing small business, this is a huge amount of money. Due to the cash and substitution of Maguire when he was brought in last winter window, the latter's value is not reflected in the official transfer rankings, so the transfer fee of the England national team's main centre-back is still recorded at 64.2 million pounds, making Rodrigo Jr. the highest single signing in the club's history.

This is the main reason why fans and experts have fiercely questioned Limdy's operation, because whether it is the Brazilian winger's performances in European football in previous years, or the asking price of other good strikers who are likely to join the Gunners in the transfer market this year, the fee of close to £70 million is a serious premium figure. If it weren't for the Arsenal manager's good past reviews, people would likely associate this recruitment operation with shady operations such as black-box operations and kickbacks, which has become a flood in English football, and many famous managers have similar stains.

However, when the details of the transfer were completely exposed, the original few doubts were basically dispelled, because Real Madrid set a clause for a 100 million euro buyback within two seasons.

However, the discussion over whether the 23-year-old is worth £68 million has not stopped, and even though Li Mudi and director Raul Sanley, two of the most discerning professionals, said at a press conference for the new signings after Arsenal's training camp for the new season that it was definitely a worthwhile deal, it still could not dispel the worries of the outside world.

The "mouthpieces" of the "Manchester Evening News" and "Liverpool Post", the Gunners' main rivals, will naturally not let go of this opportunity that may disturb the morale of the Arsenal military, and continue to publish various analyses of this recruitment, and it is also very clever not to directly express their unfavorable attitude, but to compare Rodrigo Jr. with some old-timers whose transfer value is not as good as his. Using the standards of legends such as Shearer, Thierry Henry, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Rooney, etc., to make a subtle request to the Brazilian is a very despicable approach, but the effect is outstanding.

When the number 14 shirt failed to score a goal in three matches in the Asian competition of the International Champions Cup, and there were various performances that did not match the rhythm of the team, the club's name as the number one parallel commodity began to shift to his head.

The focus of the pundits is on Limdi's approach to the player, with Rodrigo Jr. having different positions and roles in a number of pre-season warm-up games. Sometimes playing as a winger on the left and right, sometimes playing as a double midfielder with Balco, and also acting as a shadow striker alongside Dembele and Hirst, it seems as if the head coach is still hesitating how to position the club's all-time champion, which is somewhat intriguing.

Because judging from the news dug up by the media before, the Brazilian striker is the new signing handpicked by Li Mudi, according to the normal logical analysis, he should have a rough plan in mind, how can there be such a mistake in the body of a world-class head coach?

However, it soon became clear that Rodrigo, who was only 1.74 meters tall and was more suitable for the role of left winger, began to be gradually pushed to the center forward position to fight with the opponent's tall defenders. What's even more surprising is that after two consecutive losses, this young man who is still very thin seems to be slowly finding some feeling.

In particular, in the warm-up match against Inter Milan, he completed a wonderful one-on-one performance after passing three people in the first half, and although he failed to score in the end, this kind of flash of play made Gunners fans find a sense of déjà vu. The King of Highbury back then was always able to bring similar surprises to everyone, and it used to be the most enjoyable moment for all club supporters, could it be that Arsenal's No. 14 met a reliable successor this time?

And when the media broke the news that Rodrigo Jr. had been eating a small stove in the pre-season training camp, and it was Henry himself who took him to special training, the fans' previous doubts and worries about the new signing were finally partially dispelled, but it is obviously still a long way to go before full recognition.

Because Arsenal's warm-up results before the start of the season are really a little unbeatable, the International Champions Cup Asian Division has 2 draws and 1 loss, and other ordinary warm-up matches have 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss. Fortunately, they performed well in regular matches, defeating bitter rivals Manchester United on penalties and winning a UEFA Super Cup without being favored at all, otherwise it could really be called a mess.

However, Li Mudi showed a confident attitude in front of the media, which still made the reporters who were repeatedly slapped in the face restrained, and did not rush out to do things. However, the latter must still have a plan in his heart, ready to squirt hard when Arsenal underperforms in official matches, and express his resentment that his face has been swollen countless times over the years.

Unfortunately, the Gunners boss and his disciples did not give these uncrowned kings any chance to turn around, and at the beginning of the first round of the Premier League on July 18, they reaped the fruits of victory all the way to their own pockets, breaking various records for clubs and even the entire league one after another, and becoming the world's best team at this stage.

In the first three rounds of the league, the performance of the Arsenal players was still somewhat sluggish, but because the strength of the team was relatively weak, they did not encounter too much trouble, and they all won relatively easily. It's just that compared to the strong attacking firepower of the previous two seasons, several new midfield signings seem to be using the game to find a way to integrate into the whole team, so that the result of only five goals in the three games combined is still very worrying for fans.

However, the Gunners' backline has been very consistent and has improved on the level of what was already one of the best in Europe, and Swiss international Akanji is like a building block with no bad points, almost perfectly becoming a part of the team's defensive line. His combination of speed and strength also brought Li Mudi a combination of different styles, and he was the first of these newcomers to establish his position in the team.

Later, as the schedule progressed, and when the League Cup and Champions League group stage fixtures were added to the schedule, the Gunners manager's rotation system helped the other new signings get more minutes and speed up their integration. Soon, homegrown striker George Hirst and Dutch midfielder Richdeli Bazol have been recognized both inside and outside the team, and have officially become an important part of Arsenal's quest for a big scene in the new season.

Only the team's new No. 14 Rodrigo Jr. still failed to make his first start for his new club before the end of August. Li Muddy has been very cautious about his use, even in the Carabao Cup, against a League One side who is barely a threat, and he has only given the much-talked-about youngster less than half an hour to perform, which has caused complaints from fans to continue.

Because although the Brazilian has not been able to contribute much to the data in a very short period of time, his fancy moves are really good-looking, no worse than Cristiano Ronaldo and Ronaldo and others back then, and he can often play tricks beyond everyone's imagination, which is very ornamental. It's just that after a while, people will inevitably have this thought: nearly 70 million pounds to buy such an acrobat? This TM is too expensive, isn't it?

The good thing is that people grow up - well, some of them are actually aliens, except for those like Ba God. Little Rodrigo has a high level of understanding, and his professionalism is also considered to be excellent among South American players, and under the strict teaching and encouragement of Li Mudi and Henry, he finally gradually got rid of the bad habit of showing off his skills too much, and became a relatively down-to-earth football player. Although he will still play a few times when he is happy, it is no longer insignificant for the team, and the head coach is too lazy to criticize him, after all, his occasional flash of inspiration can still become a sign to attract fans, and there are still pros and cons to be earned.

Finally, in the third round of the Champions League group stage against Bayer Leverkusen on September 15, Arsenal's all-time champion ushered in his first start for the team, but the response after the game was very mediocre. Because in 63 minutes of playing time, Rodrigo Jr. only contributed a total of 3 1-of-1 attack statistics, and there was no particularly outstanding improvisation on the field, so naturally he could not get much recognition from the fans.

Another important reason for this result is that during the period when the new No. 14 played soy sauce before, the team's results were very good, not only as good as before, but also became the final winner in several strong conversations. While the victories over Chelsea, Tottenham and Valencia were a bit difficult, the other players were praised for their willpower and technical ability. This makes the importance of Rodrigo Jr. in the team infinitely marginalized, and in the hearts of the fans, if he can win without him, it is natural that they will not be more deeply invested in the Brazilian.

However, when the time came to Old Trafford on September 25, the outside world finally realized what Li Mudi's big gamble in the summer was for.

Prior to this shootout, Arsenal and Liverpool had both completed their 11-game winning streak in the Premier League this season, equalling Tottenham Hotspur's best start to the Premier League in 1960-1961, and whether they can break this record that has been in the dust for 62 years will depend on the outcome of the two key games this weekend.

Compared to the Reds, who also aspire to glory, the Gunners have one more motivation to put their name at the top of the record in place of their sworn enemies, which is definitely a means to hit the opponent hard.

And when the game reached the 72nd minute and the score between the two sides was still at a critical moment of 1-1, Li Mudi replaced Moussa Dembele, who was very active on the field but never found the luck of the goal. Few could have predicted at the time that it would be a life-changing move that would be a moment that the Brazilian youngster's fans will remember for a lifetime.

Zizou's start in English football is still relatively good, although the first eleven rounds of 7 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss did not reach the top four in the standings, but the overall performance of the Red Devils is improving at a considerable speed, especially Neymar and other new signings quickly integrated into the new environment, so that all Manchester United supporters see the hope of revival.

At home against the old rivals Arsenal, who have performed well in the new season, the home team still has some advantage in the first 70 minutes, and if it were not for the referee's soft whistle and letting go of a dangerous foul on Neymar shortly after the opening kick, perhaps the suspense of the outcome of the game would have been gone.

The attacking combination of Marcus Rashford and the Brazilian star was staggering, causing the Gunners' defence, which had conceded just five goals in the first 11 rounds, to be a handful of teams in European football today.

But just as the 60,000 Red Devils fans cheered on the home team and hoped that the players would continue to fight for this important matchup, the shorter man who had just appeared on the opposite side and wore the magical number 14 shirt put on a spectacular solo show in the world's top stadium and opened his path to superstardom.

In the 76th minute, Rodrygo, who was pulled to the left, used his fast and varied dribbling footwork to almost stun Portuguese right-back Ricardo Pereira, who had no choice but to pull in the visitors' striker and give them a well-placed free-kick.

Balco's ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Bailly at the front point, and it happened to be obtained by Arsenal's No. 14, who did not enter the penalty area because he was too small to fight for the landing point, only to see that he did not choose to stop the ball, but directly got up with his right foot and kicked a volley with the outside instep of his very fast speed and a very large arc. The ball flew over the heads of both players in the penalty area and immediately fell violently, and under De Gea's stunned gaze, it plunged into the top right corner of the goal.

At that moment, even the United supporters in the field could not recover from the shock of the goal in time, causing the shrill boos to be delayed by almost ten seconds.

However, less than five minutes later, their hopes that Neymar could use the remaining time to equalise as soon as possible were shattered. It was another genius strike from Rodrigo, who received a through ball from Torreira on the counter-attack, first shook off Luke Shaw with a deflection feint, then shook off the aging Doucoure with a beautiful ball split, and finally beat Spain with an imaginative pick after winning the race against Eric Bailly, completing a super performance that could be selected as the Premier League's best goal so far in the new season.

3-1, Arsenal relied on the brave play of the substitute youngster, and finally won at Old Trafford, using the corpse of the second sworn enemy as collateral trophies, successfully making the record of the number one sworn enemy old.

After the game, Rodrigo's name finally began to resound throughout the British Isles, and even the rest of Europe began to pay attention to the Brazilian who was previously considered a victim of high gambling, and a new star finally rose.
