Dropped from latest game! Alonso responds to ‘Rodrygo’ after being linked with Arsenal marinabays

marinabays Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso reveals the reason why Rodrygo did not play a single minute in their last match against Pachuca was simply a ‘tactical’ issue, and he has faith in all of his players. 

The Los Blancos boss was speaking ahead of Friday morning’s final FIFA Club World Cup group game against Red Bull Salzburg and was asked two questions by reporters about Rodrygo, who did not play a single minute in the 3-1 win over Pachuca, as well as the player’s possible exit amid reports of interest from Arsenal. marinabays

“Rodrigo is fine. He is a special player and has a desire to play. But the reason he didn’t play in the last game was just a tactical problem.” the 43-year-old said. 

Later, when reporters asked if Rodrygo would be one of the favourites to be let go if the team decided to sell its attacking players, the former Liverpool midfielder replied: “I am satisfied with all the players we have and I trust all the players in the team. They have shown high ability and we still have a long season. Having enough players and competition in the team is necessary because we have to compete 50-60 games per season.”

It cannot be denied that Rodrygo is one of the players with the most news about leaving the Santiago Bernabeu. Previously, there were news from many sources confirming that he was not satisfied with his role in the team, which was often inferior to his other teammates, including not being able to play in his preferred position as a left winger. 

Furthermore, Fabrizo Romano has previously confirmed that the Arsenal board and Mikel Arteta are keen on bringing the 24-year-old winger to the club, with the club likely to miss out on Nico Williams, who was initially a target for the left wing.

Spanish radio station Cadena Ser previously reported that Los Blancos have set a price of €90 million for Rodrygo, who has three years left on his contract, in line with Transfermarkt’s valuation of the player.

In addition, Gabriel Magalhaes, the center-back of the ‘Gunners’, also gave his opinion on this matter through a podcast called Podpah, saying: “I want Rodrygo to join our team. I’ve told many people that he is a fantastic player. If it were up to me, of course I would want him to come.” ( marinabays )
