Rumors won't stop and Rodrygo responds, message after reaching the semifinals

One of the most uncertain topics regarding the Merengue squad is Rodrygo. When things are increasingly going against the player staying with the Whites, it seems that he has replied to the criticism. With a post on his social media and the classic "Hala Madrid," he seems to make certain details clear.

Obviously, for some, this is not at all enough to show that he wants to continue with the Merengue squad. However, it is an important point for those who thought he was completely disconnected from the team.

The Brazilian has not had his best season in this last campaign, where, despite having better numbers than the previous one, he was inconsequential. Now, in this Club World Cup, he is a substitute and it seems that he could be an important factor in trying to fight for a spot.

His departure in doubt

Rodrygo's overall performance over the last few seasons has been quite deplorable compared to his quality. In general, he is a footballer who tends to break games open when needed, and that's why that touch of bravery is missed.

In the last campaign, he managed to record just 24 goal contributions, a little more than half of which were goals. All this in a total of 51 matches played, which is quite a low amount.

This seems to have triggered his departure, in addition to certain attitudes that, for some, are simply indifferent to what Madrid needs. However, the narrative may have changed with these words, which for some is more than enough to show that he wants to stay. The possibility of fighting for a spot and, above all, competing, could give him the inspiration he needs to reach the top.

It's Alonso's turn

Now it's the Spanish coach's turn to try to get the best out of him and, with that, recover some of the Brazilian's essence. However, it won't be an easy task if he continues with these attitudes, as they'll only lead him out of Real Madrid.
