Rodrygo says competition at Real Madrid is strengthening the team

"Real Madrid" forward Rodrygo shared his thoughts on how the competitive environment within the team impacts player growth. According to the Brazilian footballer, playing alongside stars like Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius, and Jude Bellingham forces every player to work more on themselves. Goal.com reports on this.

“The training atmosphere at Valdebebas is incredibly competitive. This fully aligns with our high demands on ourselves.

When you have players around you striving for excellence, it naturally makes everyone stronger,” the forward says.

Currently, Rodrygo has been forced to miss the remainder of the 2025-2026 season due to a serious knee injury. Nevertheless, the 25-year-old forward remains optimistic about the future and is fully focused on the recovery process.

The footballer emphasized that discipline, proper nutrition, and rest play an incomparable role in maintaining his physical condition. In his opinion, any difficulty can be overcome through hard work and self-confidence.
