Anytime we play together he makes me uncomfortable and I don’t score goals – Real Madrid Rodrygo Goes names Real Madrid player he is not convenient playing with
Real Madrid’s forward, Rodrygo Goes, has been a focal point of attention this season, and it’s expected that the spotlight on him will increase in the upcoming season due to heightened competition within the team.
Although Rodrygo has expressed satisfaction with playing on the right side, statistics indicate that he performs notably better when deployed on the left flank. Data from Marca reveals that Rodrygo has scored 8 goals in 11 matches played on the left wing this season, often filling in for Vinicius Junior during his absences due to injuries and suspensions. In contrast, he has only scored 7 goals in 31 appearances on the right side.
However, despite Rodrygo’s contributions, Vinicius Junior remains Real Madrid’s most prolific forward, boasting higher productivity than Rodrygo. Vinicius has accumulated 26 goal contributions in 28 outings this season, surpassing Rodrygo’s 23 goal contributions in 42 appearances.
Despite interest from the Premier League, Rodrygo is determined to continue his tenure at Real Madrid beyond the summer transfer window, even with the potential arrival of Kylian Mbappe. While his representatives attribute any decline in performance to being played out of position, Rodrygo faces the reality of either adapting to unfamiliar roles or accepting a place on the substitutes’ bench.
