Rodrigo is under threat – AS.com

It was the 70th minute of the match. real Madrid And Villarreal when Carlo Ancelotti gave the order to carry out the first changes on the white team. There were two of them at the same time: Camavinga and Mbappe came out. AND Militao and Rodrigo entered., The second one didn’t play on Wednesday in Lille: he had back problems What interfered with full functionality. For this reason, the Italian coach decided not to allow 11 Real Madrid fan in the French city.

but one day surpassed He bitter drink Champions League, Rodrigo saw himself back in the starting lineup on the bench against Castellon’s team. This time I didn’t have any discomfort, but Ancelotti’s decision to switch to a 4-4-2. with the double rod they went in alternating between Valverde and Modric along with Camavinga left player Osasco outside the eleven holder. Surely Ancelotti bet on his opponent. Villarreal found themselves top of the table and had a week of European competition to spare, which made a difficult match easier for Madrid.

This season No located beneficial for Rodrigo: addition three goals (he scored Madrid’s first league goal, just like last season), but of 12 games who wears the white team, completed only one, the first one Leagues vs Mallorcawhere exactly he scored the first and only goal of Real Madrid in that match. From the rest and Besides not playing against Lille, he did not complete a single another: He played 76 minutes in the Super Bowl. in front of him Stuttgart, on the first day of the Champions League, another 75. In the League, in nine games which were disputed He was involved in all of them, starting six times and coming off the bench three times.. In total, he accumulates 77% minutes played. But Ancelotti’s idea is to only have two attackers already set to Vinicius And Mbappeand four midfielders provide the possession previously expected from Rodrigo is declining match after match.

yes, to that added good collective functioningdoes Ancelotti has little appetite for experimentation when everything works save your ideas for the following matches: Celta Vigo (Saturday 19 October), Borussia Dortmund (Tuesday 22 October) and Barcelona (26 October). Before Vigo, White must win If you want to use this victory to achieve what you want… more even maybe to Barcelona before the classics try to take first place in the table. Against Dortmund the team he played with in the last Champions League final suffered serious difficulties in the mining team’s last two visits to the Coliseum of La Castellana, and you need three points to, first of all, forget it bad image in Lille, and secondly, start off rise to positions in the rankings earlier measure yourself Milan and Liverpool this one in Enfield. A tough October in which the Whites will be fighting for most of their future opportunities in both the League and Champions League.

AND The figure of Rodrigo appears there: adds three goals and two assists, Seems small luggage For compete with Vinicius and Mbappe. Bellinghamanother one of the players he could replace makes up for his lack of purpose With Job so much both defensive and offensive, something Ancelotti always demands from his players and it is one of the key elements in the system Carletto. Everything is complicated for Rodrigowhat do you see jeopardize his status, both in the starting lineup and in the dressing room… although both club like his own Ancelotti have withwrong rows with it. The most recent case was the controversy over the absence of 30 Ballon d’Or candidates from the list.: “He was not appreciated in the Ballon d’Or elections. He certainly deserved to be 30 years old. I understand that you are upset. Someone has forgotten what he did in the Champions League, scoring against City and how important it was. His advantage is that he is a wild card, that he can play in many positions and always do well.” By the way, Last year he was third in minutes (3,707 minutes and 17 goals)..
