As the FIFA Club World Cup enters an intense phase, Real Madrid’s head coach Xabi Alonso made an open statement about the team lineup and the significance of some players. Among these remarks, special emphasis was placed on Brazilian striker Rodrygo Silva.
"Rodrygo is a very important player for our team. His movements on the pitch, physical readiness, and emotional state positively influence others. In such tournaments — especially the Club World Cup — not only starting players matter, but also those who come off the bench," said Alonso.
According to the coach, Rodrygo is performing well in current training sessions, working in harmony with the team, and diligently improving himself.
"I evaluate every player based on their preparation before the match. From that point of view, Rodrygo inspires confidence in me. Whether he plays or not depends on my personal decision. But one thing is clear: whether he takes the field or not, he can contribute to the team," added Xabi Alonso.
Rodrygo is highly trusted and respected among fans. His technique, dribbling skills, and impactful actions in key games have often brought unexpected goals to Real. That’s why, whether in the starting eleven or as a substitute, he is valuable to the team.
Alonso’s statement shows he evaluates players by their usefulness, not their position. Rodrygo is one of those versatile players — his career has always been full of challenges and responsibility.
Now all eyes are on the coach’s final decision. One thing is certain: regardless of his role, Rodrygo is ready to fight for Real and play wholeheartedly. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
