Exaggerating a little, not much, one could say that Rodrygo He arrived in Cádiz in a great shape. The Brazilian expected to start this Sunday’s game on the bench, in an emergency solution role, and he assumed it even with relief. “My knee hurt, my tooth hurt too…”, he confessed after the duel on Real Madrid TV, the only microphone that the white players attend to after the games due to their eternal war with Javier Tebas’ LaLiga. Although formally, and for a little less than a month, Florentino Pérez’s archenemy is no longer its president.
But that is another story. This is about when “20 minutes before going out to warm up”, Ancelotti tells Rodrygo that Brahim was unwell (“He had an intestinal problem and couldn’t play,” summarized the Italian) and that he had to play. “I had to play and it turned out well”said the protagonist, with that naturalness so characteristic of him, still in the guts of Nuevo Mirandilla, scene of a new white victory.
Rodrygo changes role
It must be remembered, he said, that Rodrygo loves his coach “a lot” and that, supposedly, there is something reciprocal in that kind of love. And he loves him more now that, more because of the circumstances, he looks like he Rodrygo is going to be a few weeks without playing as a center forwardbecause the loss of Vinicius opens the doors of ownership to Joselu and leaves him the role of agitator from the side, the one he likes so much.
A month ago, Rodrygo complained precisely about that, about having to play as a center forward, because it is not his favorite position. He made the complaint with a goal and an assist on his record and In these four weeks he has added six goals and four assists. In Real Madrid’s last three games, he has directly participated in nine goals. In Cádiz, specifically, he scored two and served the third to Bellingham.
Rodrygo, at some point in these weeks, has clicked, entering a phase of the season in which everything works out for him. “In the first goal he didn’t have much to do, he had no way out. I tried the pipe, it went well and I then had time to kick“, he explained about the initial goal, showing that he also has that feeling that everything works out for him.
Ancelotti: “I was a little lucky”
“I wanted to give him a rest, because I only had a training session after a very long trip. It turned out well, I had a bit of luck with that,” Ancelotti acknowledged about his most dedicated pupil in recent weeks, even surpassing a Bellingham that reached 15 goals in Cádiz this season (one of them with England), equaling the best record of his career in one course.
Two guarantees in times of uncertainty due to the numerous injuries that Real Madrid has accumulated. Along these lines, Ancelotti said that He hopes to recover Kepa this week and that Modric, who retired limping, only has an overload in his hamstrings that should not cause major complications.
