Ancelotti reveals what's happening to Rodrygo and gives a warning: he's not...

Carlo Ancelotti has directly addressed multiple issues in his press conference before the match against Real Mallorca. Besides his future as Brazil's coach, confirmed less than a day ago by the CBF, the Reggiolo coach has also addressed several issues regarding the current state of Real Madrid.

In that regard, one of the most important figures is Rodrygo Goes. The "11" verdeamarelowas "without strength or spirit" to play the Clásico at Montjuïc. That comment from the Madrid coach foreshadowed a physical problem that would have been noticed in training that same morning.

Indeed, Rodrygo Goes has left the training fields assigned to the first team accompanied by a doctor after the rondos. That decision undoubtedly increases the debate around the Brazilian footballer, but Carlo Ancelotti has wanted to address it forcefully: "everyone is very fond of him".

Those words from Carlo Ancelotti come to remind that "there has been a lot of speculation about all this" given his poor performance in the Copa del Rey final. His discreet match against FC Barcelona, which lasted only 45 minutes, has caused much discontent among the white fans... who would already demand his departure from Santiago Bernabéu locker room during the summer market of 2025.

Challenging times

The Reggiolo coach points out that Rodrygo Goes "is not at his best level". That circumstance would not only be due to the performance issues that the Osasco forward has shown this season. "Today in training he had a muscle discomfort in his leg", clarifies Carlo Ancelotti.

Therefore, "the injury must be evaluated" to check his availability for the last two matches of the current league season. Despite the defeat in the Clásico, Real Madrid still has chances to become the champion of LaLiga 24/25... efforts in which it seems difficult for Rodrygo Goes to take part.

In any case, Carlo Ancelotti defends Rodrygo Goes once again. It is no secret that the Italian strategist has fully trusted the "11" carioca during his second stint as Real Madrid's coach, even giving him the starting position in his worst moments. That trend could end with the arrival of Xabi Alonso as the replacement for the Reggiolo coach.

The coach from Tolosa has in his hands the continuity of players like Rodrygo Goes, whose continuity in the first team raises many doubts currently. The injury of the Brazilian "11" would serve as an "excuse" to sideline him from the last three matches of LaLiga... waiting to see what role he has in the tactical plans of the new coach of Real Madrid.
