As: Playing Salzburg Rodrigo may still be a substitute, he wants to stay in the team, but Real Madrid will listen to the offer

June 26, Ass reported that in the game against Pachuca, Rodrigo did not play, and even did not warm up. Guerre took his place, Diaz came off the bench at halftime, and even Muñoz made the final appearance, with everyone ahead of his pick.

Obviously, something happened. Ass contacted the people around him, and it can be confirmed that Rodrigo was not physically uncomfortable. This is a completely technical decision. What's even more surprising is that he didn't even warm up. The third game of the Club World Cup is coming, and there will be an answer today. Regarding the starting lineup, Rodrigo seems to have little chance. Guerre's performance makes him less likely to continue starting and he is likely to sit on the bench again.

But this mystery is obviously more complicated. People began to wonder if he would get playing time or if he wouldn't even have a basic warm-up again. If this happens again, it will be a significant signal and the situation is very subtle. But there is one situation where he may get more opportunities. If Xavi Alonso decides to let Joan Améni serve as central defender (Asencio suspended and Rudiger is in poor form), there will be a vacant midfielder. This will trigger a chain reaction, with Valverde becoming a midfielder, Guerre taking the midfield, and the right winger position may be left to Rodrigo. Unless Alonso still chooses Dias in this case, that would be almost a fatal blow to Rodrigo.

Rodrigo said he wanted to stay in Real Madrid, he showed professionalism in training and expressed his willingness to stay on the team through social media, but the reality is another matter. The club does not rule out the possibility of hearing a quote. This is an important signal for Rodrigo.

Rodrigo started in the first game of the Club World Cup and played for 65 minutes (until he was replaced by Dias, the score was 1-1 at the time). During this time, his performance was mixed. He gave a wonderful assist, but there were not many highlights. Only 8 of his 27 passes were in the opponent's half. He tried four times but all failed. He only shot once and missed the goal. After losing his starting position, he became a substitute in the second game and did not even warm up. Now that he has come to Philadelphia, he will be able to see if the situation has changed in today's game.
