If you can t play for 90 minutes, the 21-year-old player will beat him! Real Madrid really want to drive away "Rodrigo?

In the third round of the Club World Cup, Real Madrid won Salzburg Red Bull 3-0, and Xavi Alonso's three-center-back formation (352) was completely revealed. But in this game that should have been a brilliant forward, Rodrigo became the most desolate one - he came on the bench in the 67th minute, and he didn't even create a decent threat in the 23 minutes. Instead, he was "gowed" by the fans on the scene because of a anti-aircraft gun and a mistake in stopping the ball.

Do you think he is frustrated? The 90 million euros net worth was there, and the Champions League was a success, but when it came to Real Madrid, he couldn't even make it. What's even more heartbreaking is that Gonzalo Garcia, who was the substitute for him, was only 21 years old. A young player in the echelon, crushed him to the death. Anyone with a discerning eye could see Rodrigo's emotions - he was indifferent, sitting on the bench, his eyes full of confusion of "What the hell is going on".

Mbappe was injured. It was logical that it should be Rodrigo's opportunity. As a result, Xavi Alonso chose Vinicius and Gonzalo Garcia to partner with the forward line. These two people, one is as fast as lightning, and the other is young and energetic. Where is Rodrigo? I can only sit on the bench and count the time to wait for the game. In the 23rd minute, he cut in and shot, but the anti-aircraft gun flew directly to the stands, and made a mistake in stopping the ball. The booed the fans at the scene, like a basin of cold water, which made him feel cool.

But do you think Rodrigo is bad? Absolutely not! This guy is a versatile in the frontcourt. He can play with a winger and a sudden arrow without a striker. The title of a Champions League expert is not in vain. Which of these giants, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain, doesn’t stare at him? Don’t worry about the next home. These four words sound a bit ironic now - you can’t be the main player in Real Madrid, and there are a lot of people outside who are lined up to ask for him.

Then why did Real Madrid move Rodrigo? To put it bluntly, tactical needs. Xavi Alonso is here, and the formation of the three central defenders is changed, and the "four forward" structure of the Ancelotti era must be dismantled. Mbappe, Vinicius, and Bellingham, the status of these three people is unshakable. Brahim Dias is also happy to play as a substitute, where is Rodrigo? He can only become the one who is "sacrificed".

Let's talk about finance. Real Madrid's spending money in the past two years is not vague. Arnold, Heisen, Mastantono, and Alvaro Fernandez all flock to the team. Xavi Alonso also wants to strengthen the center, where does this money come from? Selling Rodrigo has become the most realistic option. Do you think he is wronged or not? He made great achievements and became a victim of "financial balance".

But this is reality. The world of football has always been "survival of the fittest". Rodrigo's versatile attribute may be treasure in other teams, but in Real Madrid, it has become an "dispensable" existence. In the 2024/25 season, Real Madrid is all empty, and the pressure on Xavi Alonso can be imagined. Improve running and confrontation, and solve offensive and defensive imbalances. How can you solve these two major problems without sacrificing one?

Rodrigo's current mood is probably like a roller coaster - he is a hero in the Champions League and a marginal person on the bench. Will he accept the olive branches of these giants such as Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain? If you take it, you will definitely feel bad when you leave Real Madrid; if you don’t take it, stay in the team and continue to play as a substitute, who can stand the aggrievance?

After all, Rodrigo's future is now in the hands of Real Madrid. How to draw the tactical board of Xavi Alonso and how to balance finances, these decisions directly affect his destiny. Should we continue to stay in the Bernabeu, or go far away and look for a new stage? I guess even Rodrigo himself has no accurate idea of ​​this problem now. In the

Club World Cup, Rodrigo's appearance as a substitute is more like a "farewell performance" - is it temporary or permanent? No one knows. But one thing is certain. This 90 million euro frontcourt all-rounder is now standing at the intersection of his career. What to do next depends on Real Madrid's "face".
