Rodrygo case: he who doubts does not love

Rodrygo broke the caution required on the eve of big games with an untimely appearance. Double appearance, because he said the same things in a Brazilian media and here, on DAZN: that he has doubts. The first thing that comes to mind is that he who doubts does not love. I understand what he may feel, he has come to consider himself a full starter after Asensio’s departure but he does not feel safe to continue like this, now that Mbappé is coming. With this arrival plus that of Endrick, Madrid will bring together seven forwards (Vinicius, Joselu, Brahim and Güler plus the three mentioned) and there will be elbows. Two are above the rest: Vinicius and Mbappé.

So Rodrygo feels insecure and I’m not surprised. He has been a starter, but he has not earned the status of essential and Brahim, Joselu and Güler have taken advantage of his opportunities very well. The idea that is circulating that Bellingham is going to delay to play Kroos, I don’t see it. Bellingham cannot play Kroos, they are not alike, and furthermore that attempt would keep him from scoring, so I do not imagine an attack of three, but of two with appearances by the Englishman, as it has been. Of the long squad of forwards, the one who may have the best price and sale is, by far, Rodrygo. He will think the same thing, that’s why he says it..

The bad thing is that, by saying it, apart from running the risk of clouding the pre-match concentration, he depreciates himself. The same is not offered for a player if it is known that he wants to leave the club and that it can even force him to leave. A mistake in any case, but understandable in a young boy who thinks his career could go awry.. The worst thing is that he doesn’t show great intelligence, because all those who have left Madrid, I’m talking about Varane, Sergio Ramos, Cristiano, Casemiro, Benzema or others before, have gotten worse. Everyone, one by one, thought that they had given a lot to Madrid, No one noticed how much more this club gave them..
