TA: Rodrigo s people are dissatisfied with his lack of opportunities; new players may intensify position competition

"The Athletic" talked about the situation of Real Madrid forward Rodrigo. The lack of sufficient opportunities in the Club World Cup and the arrival of new players may have an impact on Rodrigo.

Alonso commented on Rodrigo when attending his inauguration conference: "I will have a conversation with every player, which is what they deserve and what the team needs, because we must know each other. Rodrigo is an excellent player, there is no need to say much about this, we need him."

However, in Real Madrid's last two Club World Cup games, Rodrigo has come on as a substitute. Rodrigo started to play against Real Madrid 1-1 against Riyadh Crescent, but he is also the only player in the starting lineup to fail to play against Pachuca next.

Sources close to Rodrigo were dissatisfied with his lack of participation in the Club World Cup. In the final round of the group stage, Rodrigo replaced Vinicius in the 67th minute and received a warm hug from the coach after the game.

With the arrival of Riverbed right winger Mastantono, Rodrigo's role may be further weakened in the coming months, and his situation deserves continued attention.
