Real Madrid genius was marginalized by Alonso, played in 23 minutes in three club World Cups, with a net worth of up to 90 million

In this Club World Cup, Real Madrid's performance is impressive. Although the team unexpectedly ended in the first round of the group stage with a draw and facing the tenacious resistance of Riyadh Crescent, the team then showed its strong strength, defeating Pachuca and Salzburg Red Bull one after another, and finally successfully advanced to the knockout stage as the first in the group. In the 1/8 final, Real Madrid welcomed a strong rival Juventus. Although Real Madrid had a certain advantage in the whole game and shot 21 times, Juventus goalkeeper Digregorio made wonderful saves repeatedly, leaving Real Madrid with only 1 goal. However, this goal is enough to ensure they reach the quarter-finals and face Dortmund again.

In sharp contrast to Real Madrid's outstanding performance, Rodrigo, a talented striker in the team. He got the chance to start in the first round of the group stage. Although he gave an assist, he was replaced after only 65 minutes. In the second group stage against Pachuca, Rodrigo became a substitute and failed to get any playing time. Although head coach Alonso made five substitutions, he did not give Rodrigo a chance.

In the third round against Red Bull Salzburg, Rodrigo failed to start again, but in the 67th minute he got a chance to play on the bench. However, his performance on the court was disappointing, with only one shot and failed to hit the target, and he did not succeed or contribute a key pass, which seemed very invisible. Rodrigo sat on the bench again in a crucial knockout match against Juventus, failing to get even a minute of the chance to play. This series of substitutes made Rodrigo play only 23 minutes in the Club World Cup, which was obviously gradually marginalized by head coach Alonso.

Although Rodrigo's transfer is worth as high as 90 million euros and is only 24 years old, as a talented striker with unlimited potential, he has to face such a dilemma, which undoubtedly casts a shadow on his future in Real Madrid. Perhaps, he needs to seriously consider his career direction. At the same time, Premier League team Arsenal showed strong interest in Rodrigo, and media reports said Real Madrid was willing to release the players for 90 million euros. Whether Arsenal will spend such a huge sum of money to introduce Rodrigo is worth waiting for.
