The data was given up, the position was given up, but he still had to be squeezed. At the age of 24, he and Real Madrid were completely showdown!

As the top club in world football, Real Madrid has always been a team that many players hope to play for. Looking at their current midfield lineup, it can be said to be quite luxurious. Mbappe, Vinicius, and Bellingham are all top three superstars in the world in their respective positions. However, among the Real Madrid superstars, there is one person who is a little out of place. Although his value is as high as 100 million euros and has been the main player of the team for a long time, he is tired of life in Madrid. He is a Brazil international, Rodrigo, 24, now. According to experts and media estimates, no big surprise, Rodrigo will leave Real Madrid, which he has played for six years this summer. The reason is naturally that he is not satisfied with what the team has done to him, and he has paid too much in recent years.

Time went back to the summer of 2019. Real Madrid spent 45 million euros to buy Rodrigo from Brazilian giant Santos. Rodrigo was definitely no less than Vinicius's top monster back then. As a fast horse on the wing, his acceleration ability was extremely outstanding, and he also had explosive power, and his directional movements were also excellent. Over the years, he can be said to have sacrificed a lot for Real Madrid, but even so, he is still willing to give with his "child emperor dream", but now he has completely shown up. Let’s take a look at what grievances Rodrigo has suffered over the years, which has caused him to be disheartened and hope to leave the team this summer!

1. Continuously give up positions and kick areas that are not good at.

Rodrigo has been playing as the left winger since his debut. However, since he came to Real Madrid, he has to change positions frequently due to the needs of the team's tactics and personnel configuration. Due to Vinicius' existence, he has never been able to return to the left winger position. With Mbappe's arrival this season, he missed the most comfortable area. What's worse is that he not only has a long-term right winger, but also makes transitions when midfielders need it. It can be said that Rodrigo has tried almost all the positions that he can do. Every change in position means that he needs to re-adapt to new roles and tactical requirements, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for a player. However, even so, Rodrigo has endured it over the years, actively followed the team's arrangements, and scored 62 goals and sent 43 assists.

is difficult to show off his own characteristics and play in areas that he has not been good at for a long time, and can still hand over such excellent data. It can be said that Rodrigo deserves his name as a genius. But it was the team that kept him in such an unfavorable situation, which gradually made Rodrigo lose his patience and eventually broke out completely at the end of the season.

2. The defensive tasks are heavy and they have completely become tool people.

Real Madrid has encountered serious injuries this season, and the team's record has also fluctuated. The most important thing is that they have never been able to make up for the vacancy in the right back position. Carvajal was unable to play for a long time due to injury, and the team did not strengthen in this position. Ancelotti had to let veteran Lucas Vazquez play in this position. Fans who are familiar with Vazquez know that most of his career played as a winger, and it was really a helpless move to let him serve as the right-hand man. Vasquez is already 34 years old and is not good at defense. As a result, Real Madrid's right-wing often becomes the key breakthrough point for their opponents, and Vasquez once had an emotional collapse. Therefore, this leads to Rodrigo, who serves as the right winger, having to undertake heavy defensive tasks. For a winger who is good at speed and breakthroughs, too many defensive tasks will undoubtedly affect his performance on the offensive end. Rodrigo had to spread his energy into the defense, which made it difficult for him to show his true strength in the game. And he plays a position that is not suitable for him and needs help in defense. To be nice, Rodrigo is the team's panacea. To put it bluntly, he has become a tool for the team. And even in this case, Rodrigo still handed over 11 goals and 9 assists this season, which is quite difficult.

3. Unwilling to become a supporting role and long for a core position.

Finally, there is another thing that is the last straw that overwhelms Rodrigo, that is, the team has frequently introduced superstars in recent years and has ignored its own growth. Of course, this is also the style of Real Madrid in history. Under Florentino's concept of signing, Real Madrid has always been a superstar policy. Since Mbappe and Bellingham were signed to Madrid, the team will naturally give them more tactical status. After all, they are incomparable to ordinary stars, whether it is their ability on the court or their traffic off the court. Rodrigo is not as good as them in this regard. However, as a new generation of Brazilian international, Rodrigo is also very energetic. After all, as an auxiliary attacker, he can hand in a double-double of 18 goals and 10 assists in the peak season. If Rodrigo plays his most suitable left winger position, the goals and assists will probably be increased. Moreover, since Rodrigo and the team showdown, many teams have revealed their interest in him. Premier League giants such as Arsenal and Manchester City have begun to contact Rodrigo, so this 24-year-old young man will definitely not lack opportunities. Once he can become the core of a team and help the team make breakthroughs, Rodrigo's overall achievements may be higher than those of Real Madrid. So after combining all the factors, Rodrigo made this decision.
