Rodrygo Goes has spoken out again after weeks of silence and his words have been analyzed in detail. The Real Madrid striker didn't mention his teammate Vinícius Júnior, but he did show his admiration for Neymar, something that has generated tensions in the Real Madrid dressing room. The Brazilian seems happier with his national team than with his club, a situation that hasn't gone unnoticed by fans or the media.
Rodrygo is going through a complicated situation
Rodrygo has been a key player in the Brazilian national team during the last few calls. A starter in all four games played, he has been seen with confidence and a leading role in the Brazilian team. However, at Real Madrid the situation is very different. He has been a substitute in four of the twelve games that the team has played this season, due to Carlo Ancelotti's doubts about whether to use two or three forwards.
In the national team, Rodrygo appears relaxed and in top form, something that contrasts with what happens at his club, where he seems disconnected from Vinícius and Mbappé. Although he has a closer relationship with Vinícius off the field, on the field he hasn't achieved the necessary connection. Meanwhile, Mbappé seems to have a much more dominant role, leaving Rodrygo in the background, something that is already generating frustration in the Brazilian.
Rodrygo and Vinícius Junior
Rodrygo's recent statements have made it clear how much he misses Neymar in the Brazilian national team. He spoke enthusiastically about him, saying that he always has him in mind: “He is my idol. I always send him messages because I want him to come back soon,” said Rodrygo.
However, he surprisingly made no reference to Vinícius, who has been absent from the last few games due to injury. This has fueled rumors of a possible rift between the two.
This comment has raised suspicions among Real Madrid fans. They interpret that Rodrygo feels more comfortable talking about Neymar than about his current teammate.
Rodrygo and Real Madrid
Rodrygo is going through a difficult time at Real Madrid. Despite being considered one of the club's great prospects, his place in the starting eleven seems to be faltering. The shadow of Kylian Mbappé and the undisputed presence of Vinícius Júnior have left him as the weak link in the attack.
This situation is not new for him, who was already considering the possibility of leaving a few months ago in anticipation of Mbappé's arrival. Although he has managed to stay in the team, his role seems increasingly limited, which has revived rumors about his future. The Premier League, where several clubs are interested, could be his next destination if the situation doesn't improve.
Meanwhile, Rodrygo continues to work hard in every game and maintains the hope of establishing himself in the team. But the affection and prominence he receives in the national team is increasingly contrasting with the reality he experiences at Santiago Bernabéu. Let's be honest, this could end up tipping the balance towards an exit in the next transfer market.
