Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo Goes talked in an interview with ESPN and explained his thoughts about his current role in the Spanish capital.
“Often, I’m just filling blank spaces. Is someone missing there? Put Rodrygo. Is someone missing on the right? Rodrygo. Is someone missing as number 9? Rodrygo. That’s it. It might bother me a little, but I’m a team player,” he said.
Rodrygo did not make the Ballon D’Or shortlist of 30 players, and he’s clearly bothered by that, as he explained when asked about the situation.
“I was upset, I think I deserved it,” he stated. “I don’t want to underestimate the players who are there, but I believe I had a place in the 30. It was a surprise… But there’s not much I can do, I’m not the one who decides these things,” he added.
Rodrygo will be a crucial player for Real Madrid this season, so it will be interesting to see how he keeps performing on the offensive line now that Madrid have signed Kylian Mbappe.
