Xabi Alonso Puts His Faith in Rodrygo: “He’s Hungry and Ready to Shine!”
In a major statement of intent, newly-appointed Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso has thrown his full support behind Brazilian forward Rodrygo Goes, confirming the 23-year-old will be a key figure in his plans for the club moving forward.
Speaking with passion and clarity, Alonso addressed Rodrygo’s rocky end to last season:
> “I know what had happened with Rodrygo last season… and the end of the season wasn’t easy for him. He took some time to reset. We’ve talked since day one here.”
Despite speculation around Rodrygo’s future at the Bernabéu, Alonso revealed a refreshing trust in the young star’s mindset and ability to bounce back:
> “I see him eager to contribute on the field, hungry and ready to enjoy himself. We’ve talked about it and we’ve shared it, and now we have to put it into practice.”
With Kylian Mbappé’s arrival adding fierce competition up front, Rodrygo will need to prove his worth and it looks like Alonso is ready to give him that platform. The message is clear: Rodrygo stays, fights, and shines under the new regime.
Real Madrid fans, get ready a new chapter begins, and Rodrygo is very much a part of it.
