Carlo Ancelotti will make people jealous. Next year, the Mister will be able to count on a fire attack. Indeed, Kylian Mbappé and Endrick will join Casa Blanca, which can already count on Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz or even Alvaro Rodriguez and Joselu. Regarding the latter, the idea is to continue in the Spanish capital next year. Unlike this year, where he sometimes had to tinker after the departure of Karim Benzema, the Italian technician will therefore be spoiled for choice. Despite everything, for several weeks, several Iberian media have assured that KM7 will claim a victim: Rodrygo.
Indeed, many believe that the Brazilian will be sacrificed to make room for the Frenchman, who will be associated with Vini Jr. Moreover, certain clubs have approached number 11 Real Madrid. These are Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City. But they have no chance since the Auriverde international does not want to leave Casa Blanca this summer. He is determined to fight to find his place and is not afraid of competition. He showed it last night by scoring twice against Bilbao in La Liga.
Rodrygo is not afraid of competition
Starting at the forefront of the attack with Brahim, he shone, having not scored since February 10, i.e. 6 matches. Scorer with Brazil against Spain on March 26, he continued his momentum last night. After the meeting, the 23-year-old, author of 10 goals in 30 appearances in La Liga this season, spoke about his personal situation with the new competition that is arriving. “I don’t know yet about Mbappé. I think it's close because everyone says it and I trust the journalists, but I also don't know what's going on.”
He pursues : “Yes, there are many of us. We will see what the coach (Ancelotti) decides (…) Next year I think it will be a problem for the coach… a good problem. And I’m calm.” Rodrygo took the opportunity to answer questions surrounding his future. “I’m not thinking about anything… I’m just thinking about focusing on this season and finishing it well, with as many titles as possible.” Then, it will be time to think about what comes next and this 2024-25 season where Real Madrid's offensive compartment will be turned upside down. Rodrygo like the others will therefore pose “good” problems for Ancelotti.
A headache for Ancelotti
The latter counts on the Brazilian. “We were convinced he was going to do something in this game. Maybe it's because he likes this position more than the others. I think with Vini they can complement each other very well and they did it very well. He was the most important player in the match (…) He played very well, he made the difference, he was able to score very early. He has very high quality in his actions, this is what he must do. Now you could say he feels better on the left, but he's good everywhere. Let's not forget that he scored two goals playing on the right in the semi-final of the Champions League. Rodrygo does not intend to let this happen. Mbappé and the others have been warned!
