Real Madrid officially has a problem with Rodrygo Goes. The Brazilian player refused to play in the Montjuic classic against Barcelonaan attitude he had already shown in La Cartuja, in the Copa del Rey final against the Catalans of April 26, where he ended up replaced in the break by Kylian Mbappé. The anger for his loss of prominence in Real Madrid this season has ended with this attitude of strength that has led him to disappear from the lineups in the Real Madrid matches.
Carlo Ancelotti justified his absence in Montjuic For the feverish process he had lived during the week prior to the meeting. But the reality is that the Italian tried to make up the problem he has with the Brazilian striker, who has not only decided to leave the club, has also made the decision not to play a single minute with Real Madrid again in the remainder of the season.
Jealousy for the loss of prominence
Rodrygo was called to be one of the great stars of the team judging by his performance in the last seasons, in which along with Vinícius he had become the offensive reference of Real Madrid. In June 2018, Santos and Real Madrid Soccer Club reached an agreement for the forward's transfer As of the 2019-20 season, for a global amount of 45 million euros. The player played a year in Castilla and then went up to the first team, where he gained weight.
In the 2020-21 season he played 49 games scoring 9 goals and giving 9 assists. Records that improved a year later, participating in 57 matches, in which he triggered his scoring production until 19 goals and distributed 10 goal passes. But Real Madrid signed Jude Bellingham and the Brazilian began to lose weight in the attack. Last season, the English debut, Rodrygo reduced his numbers to 17 goals and 8 assists in 51 games. Records that have fallen again this season with the arrival of Real Madrid by Kylian Mbappé, which has made him the fourth attacker of the squad, also sharing minutes with his compatriot Endrick.
Rodrygo has scored a goal in the last 22 Real Madrid gameswhich has led Ancelotti to bet on reinforcing the midfield with a fourth midfielder and place only two attackers, which are unnegotibly vinícius and Mbappé. This has caused, in the first place, the capital anger of the former Santos and later this measure of force challenging the coach and the club that seeks its transfer this summer to another club.
Bellingham and Mbappé jealousy
The Brazilian already began demanding more attention at the beginning of the season when the media set on the trident that formed Vinícius, Mbappé and Bellingham, which excluded him from the covers. Rodrygo did not hide his discomfort and manifested himself in his social networks, which caused an approach of Carlo Ancelotti, who has always had an almost paternal relationship with the striker. On one occasionN, during a match against Villarreal at the Carletto Ceramics Stadium replaced him and the player denied him the greeting, which caused the Italian to ask for explanations and affirm the gesture at the time publicly. Rodrygo has always led the competition in the team, but the attitude he now keeps refusing to play again with Real Madrid has fired the alarms in the club.
Rodrygo is aware that there are offers for him. Manchester City and Liverpool have not hidden their interest in taking their services. And they seem to have now joined Manchester United and Arsenal. The player is very quoted in the market and would be a way to enter easy money to reinforce other equipment lines that need an update such as defense or midfield. And the player is pressing to be transferred this summer.
Xabi Alonso now has the task of convincing the Brazilian, in the event that he considers him useful for his project, although in the club they are tired of his jealousy and kicks such as the one he starred last Sunday in Montjuic refusing to jump into the field. Ancelotti, who will be a Brazilian coach and can count on him in the selection, prefers not to turn the subject into a fire Now that three games remain to end the season, but in the club there is a lot of concern to solve a theme that has a difficult solution.
