21-year-old star has 3 goals and 1 assist, Real Madrid s 90 million man was abandoned by Alonso, Arsenal is eyeing

Real Madrid defeated Juventus 1:0 in the 1/8 final of the Club World Cup and successfully advanced. The hero of the victory was 21-year-old young forward Gonzalo Garcia, who scored a winning goal for the team. However, the joy of victory did not benefit all Real Madrid players. Rodrigo, one of Brazil's twin stars, has gradually fallen out of favor since Alonso took over the team. In this game, he can only watch his teammates win on the bench. After replacing Ancelotti as Real Madrid's new coach this summer, Alonso led his team to participate in the Club World Cup and started his Galactic Battleship coaching journey. In the first game, facing Riyadh Crescent, Alonso followed Ancelotti's 4-3-3 formation, but the effect was not good. Real Madrid finally tied with their opponents, making a bad spot. In this game, Rodrigo, who served as the starting right winger, performed mediocrely.

After that, Alonso decisively adjusted his tactics and replaced Rodrigo with Valverde, who was abandoned and did not even get any chance to play. Gonzalo Garcia and Vinicius continued to occupy the starting positions.

In the critical battle to win the first place in the group in the last round of the group stage, Alonso tried a three-guard formation, and only two players were needed on the front line. Due to Mbappe's absence due to illness, only Garcia is the center of the team, while Vinicius is the core of the forward line after Mbappe. The two undoubtedly entered the starting lineup. Rodrigo didn't make a substitute until the game was decided, and he only got 23 minutes of playing time. In the knockout round against Juventus, Alonso followed the 3-5-2 formation in the last round of the group stage. However, Rodrigo was once again excluded from the starting lineup and didn't even have a chance to come on the bench. At the same time, Mbappe, who returned from injury, made his debut in the Club World Cup. Under Alonso's tactical system, the front line is usually composed of a center and a speed forward. 21-year-old Gonzalo Garcia has contributed 3 goals and 1 assist in four Club World Cup games, firmly occupying a main position. Both Vinicius and Mbappe are competent for Rodrigo's right winger, which puts Rodrigo in a more intense competition than Ancelotti's time.

Alonso has publicly stated that Rodrigo is important to the team more than once, but he has not given the Brazilian striker enough chances to play. At the same time, Argentine star Mastantono is about to join Real Madrid, which makes Rodrigo's future full of uncertainty. The season is not over yet, and media such as Marca, Sky Sports and Sky Sports Germany have reported on Arsenal's strong interest in Rodrigo. Rodrigo, 24, is in the prime of his career, with a net worth of 90 million euros. If you want to have a better career, it is obviously not a wise move to continue to sit on the bench at Real Madrid.
