On Wednesday night, Real Madrid made their first official outing of the season against Atalanta Bergamo in the European Super Cup (2-0 victory). For the occasion, Carlo Ancelotti had chosen not to choose between his attacking stars. Indeed, the Mister started Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappé. Which will not necessarily be the case all the time this season since there must be a certain balance in his team. And if we are to believe the Spanish press, the Italian should bet on the BMV, the new magic trio of the Merengues. Rodrygo, himself, would bear the brunt of this new organization.
For months, the Iberian media have been explaining that he risks being the big loser following the signing of the captain of the Blues. Some have even mentioned a possible departure. Recently, his name was also mentioned on the Manchester City side in order to compensate for the departure of Julian Alvarez to Atlético de Madrid. But very quickly, the Madrid publications, in particular AS And Brandassured that he would remain within the Casa Blanca. A version that is also that of RelevoThis Friday, the Spanish media confirmed that the Merengues are counting on the Brazilian international, who has no intention of moving.
Real Madrid don’t want to upset Rodrygo
His entourage has also made this known to the Madrid management. However, Relevo specifies that the Spanish and European champions are closely monitoring the Rodrygo case. While the press is going wild for the BMV, Florentino Pérez’s club does not want him to feel left out or in the shadow of his teammates. Everything is therefore done to ensure that he feels good in Madrid. Less prominent than his teammates on Wednesday evening, the Auriverde striker, who was used on the right flank, was replaced in the 76th minute by Luka Modric. It was also the first change made by Ancelotti.
Relevo reports that the player, warmly applauded by the fans, was congratulated by the entire staff. Ancelotti and his teams rushed towards him to encourage him. Relevo explains that Real Madrid wants the “pamper“This season after the arrival of Mbappé and with the competition that will increase. The Merengues want him to take set pieces. They have total confidence in him, even if they are also aware that his position will evolve. He is not untouchable, quite the opposite of Mbappé, Bellingham and Vinicius Jr. That is why they do not want to upset him, he who is one of the favorites of Florentino Pérez and Carlo Ancelotti.
