🗣 Rodrygo: "When Xabi arrived, he called me in to talk and said, "I know you like playing on the left, but I'm going to need you in other positions too." I told him, "Okay, mister, I'm here to help the team."

Everyone knows I prefer to play on the left and that I'm much better on that wing, but I'm always available to the team to play on the right or as a number nine, and I told him so.

The truth is, he's only putting me on the left, and I like the level of minutes I'm getting. I'm doing well, although, logically, I want to play more. I'm in a process of evolution, and I'm getting better all the time, and I feel happy. I'm performing better all the time." -diarioas

🗣 Rodrygo on what happened this summer: "Every summer, the same thing happens to me. Whether I'm going to leave or whether I have offers from this club or that. Every week, I was in a different team if I paid attention to what was published. Of course, there are always offers, I'm not going to lie about that. But I always made it clear to the club that I want to continue succeeding here, even more than I already have.

It's a lot to have won two Champions Leagues at my age, but now I want more in this shirt. I've always said: "As long as Real Madrid wants me, I'll be here." If one day Real Madrid says to me: "Rodry, find a team," I'll say "OK." But that hasn't happened.

The club has always told me they count on me. And when I had a problem, they were there for me. People speculated because I kept quiet. But I knew that I was going to play with Real Madrid this season and that I'm going to be focused on giving my best. It hasn't bothered me. I was calm, and here I am... as always. This is my 7th...

🗣 Rodrygo: "@Kylian_Mbappe? The truth is that we pair up very well, and he's really good. I love playing with him. He has incredible speed. He's getting faster every day and finishing better. He's a football phenomenon. It's a pleasure to have him on our team." -diarioas

🗣 Rodrygo on last season: "I had a very difficult time on a personal level. I went a long time without speaking to anyone. Nobody knew what I was going through. It was a very difficult time. I wasn't well either physically or mentally. That was costing me a lot. Ancelotti helped me a lot, he saw every day that I wasn't well, that I wasn't fit to play, that I couldn't help the team.

But there was no time to recover because we played every three days and then you can't stop to solve the problem. He saw that I'm a person and I had real problems. He understood my moment and my complicated situation.

He told me: 'Just stay here calmly, you're not fit to play now.' I thanked him and asked to play, but he knew he had to recover the person before the player. It was a very difficult time in my life, but now I've overcome everything, I'm fine. Whenever I can, I thank Carletto, his son Davide, and the coaching staff. Everyone helped me, and of course my family. Now I only feel joy, I'm happy, very motivated to...

🗣 Rodrygo on El Clásico: "It's going to be a tough match, but we're playing at the Bernabéu in front of our fans, and we have to show what we're capable of, planning everything well to beat them no matter what. We're at home." -diarioas

🗣 Rodrygo: "A decisive goal in El Clásico? Whenever someone signs for Real Madrid, they think about winning the Champions League and scoring a decisive goal against @Barcelonaen. I hope so." -diarioas

🗣️ Rodrygo: “The miraculous 2 goals vs @Manchester_City was the happiest day of my life.” -diarioas
