Rodrygo's Message to Guardiola After Defensa Central's Question: 'Did He Say That?'

Rodrygo Goes, one of the players in the best form at Real Madrid, appeared before the media in the press room at the Etihad.

The white team, already in Manchester, will carry out its final preparatory session before the Champions League clash. After last Saturday's draw against Atlético, the Madrid team's goal will be to achieve a good result for the return match.

The current champion returns to Manchester City's stadium almost a year later. Last season, Carlo Ancelotti's pupils managed a one-one draw and reached the semifinals after winning the penalty shootout.

Rodrygo Goes and the Best Night of His Life

Regarding the match against Manchester City, Rodrygo Goes acknowledges that it will be a quite challenging clash. "The same difficulty as always, which is playing against them. The first match puts a lot of pressure, and we know it will be difficult", he commented.

Additionally, the Brazilian acknowledged that he is prepared for a day when he will have to defend more than usual. "Almost all the teams that come here suffer a bit due to the characteristics of their players, who have more possession. I will always fulfill my duties, ready for what's coming", he explained.

Rodrygo Goes still remembers, almost a year later, the wonderful night he experienced at the Etihad Stadium. "I was talking a few days ago with Valverde watching this match against City. We wondered if we would ever experience a night like that again; it was the best of my life", he acknowledged.

Rodrygo Responds to 'Defensa Central' and Sends a Message to Guardiola

Additionally, the winger was asked by 'Defensa Central' about Pep Guardiola's compliments just hours before the match. "Happy, because he is a great coach in the history of soccer. But I hope everything goes well for Madrid tomorrow", stated Rodrygo Goes.

Meanwhile, Rodrygo Goes was asked about the defensive commitment of the three strikers of Real Madrid in important matches. The Brazilian was blunt in his reply. "If we four up front work, it's easier; we have to be a reference for everyone else", he commented.

Finally, Rodrygo Goes spoke about the possible interest from Saudi Arabia in his services for the next season. "I don't know much about offers, that's for my father, who is my agent. I'm very happy here, I want to stay for many years, and I'm grateful", he concluded.
