Real Madrid star Rodrygo Goes candidly opened up about the worst moment of his career in a recent interview, but it didn’t happen while he was in the Spanish capital.
Aged just 22, Rodrygo is set to become one of Real Madrid’s top scorers this season following the departure of Karim Benzema. Despite his young age, he already has plenty of experience at the top level, having won the Champions League, La Liga and secured 14 national team caps.
It was with Brazil that he had his most difficult moments. While the quarter-final of the last World Cup is played on penalties against Croatia, Rodrygo misses the first penalty, which will ultimately be decisive.
“The World Cup was a dream, it’s the most painful moment of my career. I know I still have a lot to play. I don’t see it as a failure, but as a moment, a process that you have to go through. Nothing is easy in life, no one has a perfect story. I took it like that, but I was sad for a few days. The only thing I think about is that I will come back and win at least a World Cup,” Rodrygo told Brazilian media Globo Sports.
Of course, one of the biggest stories at the end of Real Madrid’s campaign last year was the rumors that linked current manager Carlo Ancelotti to the Brazil manager’s job.
“I think Ancelotti is focused on Real Madrid. He has a contract and he will stay this season. After, I do not know “.
