Rodrygo Goes, striker of Real Madrid, said this Wednesday that the controversy surrounding his teammate and countryman Vinicius “is a delicate subject”. “I don’t know what to say; I know things won’t change,” he said after his team’s victory in Rabat in the semifinals of Club World Cup against the egyptian Al Ahly Egyptian.
“We try to talk about other things, about football, about what we do well there,” he said when asked about his teammate in statements after the game.
Regarding the Club World Cup semifinal against Al Ahly, he said it was “a difficult game”, but Real Madrid played well. And about his position in the field of number 9, he recognized that this is where he wanted to play. “This is where I can create more danger,” he added.
Rodrygo admitted that the coach, the Italian Carlo Ancelotti, asks him for “patience” and “doesn’t always start”. “It’s hard, but I’m trying because we have a very good team, good players, and everyone wants to play, but it’s hard to be patient,” the striker acknowledged.
“I am the same Rodrygo as before, if I am a center forward or on the wings, I try to show my best version. I prefer to play inside, not as a 9, to do it as a 10, but want me too because I’m closer to the goal and I can combine with the media that have arrived. Whenever the coach needs me, I’ll be there”, said Rodrygo, who explained his move with Ceballos to make it 1-3.
“I appeared on the inside to combine with Dani, who really likes to make a play that I love. He could shoot but his pass came, he listened to me and gave me a great assist. I’m very happy with this goal, ” he explained.
