Rodrygo: Alonso Is Going Through a Difficult Period, and This Is Normal
Real Madrid star Rodrygo Goes appeared in a press statement following the 2-1 loss against Manchester City in the sixth round of the Champions League group stage.
The Brazilian star said: "What we did was not enough; we left very frustrated. The first half was very good, especially in the opening minutes. We scored a goal, but winning was not possible. We need to improve."
He added about set pieces: "We know that these matches are always decided by small details. That's what happened today. We train on these things a lot, but during matches, such mistakes can happen..."
He continued about his return to scoring after a 32-match absence: "I really needed this goal. I always try to score and help the team. These things happen. I have to keep training and stay focused. I hope my best form returns after this goal."
About his hug with Xabi Alonso: "He is also going through a difficult time. Things are not going as we want. We wanted to show people that we stand with our coach. A lot of things are being said, and we need this unity to move forward."
He concluded about the boos: "This is normal. It is a club and its fans are demanding. And this is fair. We have to accept that."
