Currently in the national selection, with Brazil, as part of two friendly matches against Japan and South Korea, Rodrygo (24) returns better in the Real Madrid jersey. Not yet a holder in the eyes of Xabi Alonso, the winger displays a better face than last year when he comes into play and remains in the rotation of the Merengue club. In a long interview at ASthe Brazilian agreed to return to his long 2024-25 season, which earned him many criticisms and even long rumors of starting in the summer transfer window.
“I went through a very difficult period of personal level. I stayed for a long time without speaking to anyone. No one knew what I was going through. It was a very difficult period. I was not well, neither physically nor mentally ”wanted to explain the Madrid winger, who claims to have been greatly supported by Carlo Ancelotti. Rodrygo even explains that his personal problems influenced the choices of the Italian coach, who assured him that he was not ready to play and chain matches.

And if he says he is much better mentally, the Brazilian is aware that he will have to find his place as a holder. Because he does not wish to leave Real Madrid quickly. “Of course, there are always offers, I'm not going to lie. But I have always clearly made it known to the club that I wanted to continue to succeed here, even more than I already did. As long as Madrid wants me, I will always be there. If one day Real Madrid said to me: “Rodry, find a team”, I will say: “OK”. But it didn't happen. The club always told me that he was counting on me “he said.
“People were speculating because I was silent. But I knew what I was going to do this season with Real Madrid ”adds Rodrygo, aware that he will have to fight to regain his place with Xabi Alonso, who expects him to play more in other positions than on the left wing. “I prefer to play on the left and that I am much better on the wing, but I am always available for the team I go out well, even if, logically, I would like to play more. I am in full evolution, I progress constantly and I am happy “.
