Pedro Rodriguez
Pedro Rodriguez was the protagonist of the transfer market novel. It was said that he would go to Manchester United and many in Europe assumed that he would sign with the 'Red Devils', but Chelsea appeared and took him for about $30 million. Today, in his debut with José Mourinho's team, the former Barcelona player scored and was one of the stars of his new club.
However, Pedro Rodriguez is not the only star who has made his debut with a goal in a new team. In the list is also our forward Paolo Guerrero, who scored in his first match with Flamengo in Brazil. The 'Predator' arrived at 'Mengao' in great form after his five goals in the 2015 Copa America.
Also, accompanying Pedro Rodriguez and the forward of the Peruvian National Team is Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, who played his first official match with Real Madrid on August 29, 2009 against Deportivo La Coruna. 'CR7', who wore number '9' that season, scored a penalty goal in Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
Another player in the list that Pedro Rodriguez joined today is the popular 'Bad Boy' of Manchester United, Wayne Rooney. The English forward arrived at the team under Alex Ferguson in 2004. His first match was enough for him to score a hat-trick against Fenerbahce! Incredible effectiveness from the former Everton player.
Gareth Bale, the Welsh forward, is another player who scored in his debut. In his first match with Real Madrid against Villareal in mid 2013, he received a pass from the full-back Dani Carvajal and just had to tap it in to give a valuable draw to the 'Casa Blanca' in the BBVA League.
Ronaldo Nazario also scored in his first official match as a Madrid player in 2002. He even scored two goals against Alaves in the Spanish championship, coming on in the 63rd minute. From that moment on, he became an undisputed star for the Whites.
