Rodrygo Shares Insights on Ancelotti’s Trust and Brazil’s Progress

An Evolving Relationship with Ancelotti

Towards the conclusion of the previous season, tensions arose between Rodrygo and Carlo Ancelotti during the latter’s final months at the helm of Real Madrid. Nonetheless, the Brazilian winger expresses that he currently feels fully supported by the Italian coach as they join forces with the national team.

Reflections After the Tunisia Match

Following a friendly fixture that ended in a 1-1 tie against Tunisia, Rodrygo stated:

I can only share my thoughts since Ancelotti began selecting me. I feel optimistic about the team’s development and our commitment on the pitch. We have established a definite strategy and understanding of our defensive approach, which significantly enhances our performance. Although I feel encouraged, we must strive for victories and continuous improvement; we shouldn’t settle for just a draw.

Working Hard for More Opportunities

When questioned about his limited playing time under Real Madrid’s coach, Xabi Alonso, Rodrygo commented:

There’s not much more I can add. My focus should remain on consistently putting in the effort, pursuing the trust of the coach, similar to how I’ve gained it here with the national team. I believe improvement comes from training; if the coach notices my commitment, hopefully, I’ll be granted more chances to prove myself.
