Renato Steffen Biography, FIFA 22, Club, Wife, Net Worth & Wiki

Life of Ricardo Rodriguez

Ricardo Ivan Rodriguez Araya was born on August 25, 1992. He is a Swiss professional footballer who plays left defender for Torino in Serie A and for the Swiss national team.

Rodriguez began his professional career in 2010 at FC Zürich after spending eight years in the development system. Rodriguez was moved to VfL Wolfsburg in January 2012 for £7.5 million after getting into the first team at Zürich.

He appeared in 184 games for Wolfsburg in all competitions, scoring 22 goals and won the DFB-Pokal and DFL-Supercup in 2015. He joined AC Milan in 2017.

Rodriguez has represented Switzerland at every level of the national team, winning the FIFA U17 World Cup in 2009. Rodriguez has been a full international for Switzerland since 2011, earning over ninety caps.

He was a member of the Swiss Olympic squad in 2012, as well as the FIFA World Cup teams in 2014 and 2018, as well as the UEFA European Championship teams in 2016 and 2020. He was named Swiss Footballer of the Year in 2014.

Ricardo Rodriguez was born in Zürich to a Chilean mother and a Spanish father. Marcela Araya, his mother, died of cancer in 2015. Rodriguez got the year of her birth, 1968, tattooed on his back. He was born with a diaphragmatic hernia, which means that his stomach, spleen, liver, and intestine protruded into his chest.

Rodriguez was given a 50% chance of survival and was checked on every six months for the first three years of his life. He is the older brother of midfielder Francisco Rodrguez and the younger brother of footballer Roberto Rodrguez.

Playing Style

Rodriguez is recognised for his versatility, since he is equally effective at defending as he is at attacking. Although he is often a left-back, his stature and physicality have seen him used as a centre-back on occasion. Experts regard him as a capable defender who stands out for his excellent heading skills as well as his demeanour.

He is also seen as a continuous offensive danger, with analysts praising him for his remarkable endurance and pace, which enable for his persistent, buccaneering runs up the flank; he has also received acclaim from critics for seldom committing sloppy fouls.

On the other hand, he has been chastised for leaving too much space to opposing attackers, adopting bad positioning, and lacking in defensive discipline, while some observers have questioned his focus.

With superb technique and distribution, he has attracted comparisons to Everton and England left defender Leighton Baines for his precision crossing and accurate left foot. He is also known for his expertise in dead ball situations like as corner kicks, direct free kicks, and indirect free kicks, as well as his superb penalty kicking talents.

Therefore, he emerged as Wolfsburg’s first-choice penalty taker during the 2013–14 season. Rodriguez was dubbed “the greatest left-back in the Bundesliga” by his manager, Dieter Hecking, in 2014.

Early Career

Ricardo Rodriguez was signed as a 19-year-old by VfL Wolfsburg for £7.5 million on January 13, 2012, with a four-and-a-half-year contract. He soon established himself in the first-team roster, making his Bundesliga debut the next day against 1. FC Köln, which the Wolves won 1–0.

Rodriguez went on to start every game for the rest of the season, becoming a fan favourite on the left side of the defence for manager Felix Magath. He was an ever-present in the team for the first 10 league games of the next season, appearing in all of them and starting eight.
