Galactic, the attack of Real Madrid is an equation still difficult to solve for Carlo Ancelotti. Since the start of the season, the Italian coach has multiplied the formulas without necessarily finding a solution that lasted over time. While rookie Kylian Mbappé and leader Vinicius Junior are indisputable, behind it has been more fluid. Quite high last year in a role of ten, Jude Bellingham sometimes had to play lower. For his part, Rodrygo Goes sometimes had to take a different register and even started a few matches on the bench.
A situation that is not ideal for the Auriverde international and which has fueled rumors of a departure. Especially since the last few months have been more complicated for the former Santos man. Since September 24 and a victory against Deportivo Alavés (3-2), Rodrygo Goes has experienced a small drought with nine matches without being decisive interspersed by physical problems which notably caused him to miss the international break in November and a few matches with Casa Blanca.
Rodrygo finally back at 100%
In the tough lately, Rodrygo has nevertheless regained color in recent days. Against Rayo Vallecano (3-3) this Saturday, he stood out with a goal and an offering in a lively match. This Wednesday, the Merengues challenged Pachuca in the Club World Cup. A match won 3-0 where Rodrygo Goes had a solid match. Available in his right lane and very active, it was he who sheltered Real Madrid after returning from the locker room with a nice number in front of the Mexican area punctuated by a shot landing on the right of the goal. A hell of a message sent by the Brazilian who is ending the year 2024 as it should be.
Far from being a simple foil in this team, Rodrygo Goes relishes this dynamic. “Now I have no injuries. It was a bit hard for me because of the injuries. I was out for a month and got injured again. I feel better. I have to work more and rest more, I want to help the team. Everyone helped me in the process. I feel good and hope to be better every day“, he confided after the meeting. Author of 4 goals and 3 goals in 19 matches this season, Rodrygo Goes will have to continue to be decisive to make us forget his complicated start to the season. He remains less prolific than Vinicius Junior (13 goals), Kylian Mbappé (12 goals), Jude Bellingham (7 goals) or even Federico Valverde (5 goals) for the moment.
