McManaman: I think Rodrigo will stay, I would be surprised if Real Madrid let him go

August 17th News Recently, former Real Madrid player McManaman was interviewed by "fourfourtwo". He believes that despite rumors, Rodrigo may eventually stay in Real Madrid.

McManaman believes that Mbappe's arrival may have disrupted the team's previous balance: "It may be because after Mbappe joined, they performed worse than the previous year. Although the injury has a great impact, especially on the defensive end, Mbappe's super ability weakens Vinicius' role."

"Vbappe's disappointing season, Mbappe's statistics are excellent, while Vinicius is not, and both like to go from Cut inward from the left. This may have ruined the team's balance, because when Rodrigo came on the court, the results were not ideal, and they never found a tacit understanding. "

McManaman also pointed out that the team's working attitude was not good enough. The new coach Alonso has made it clear that those who don't work hard will not be able to stay in the team: "I expect we will see a significant improvement in a lot of data."

McManaman has won the Champions League twice at Real Madrid, but he Think the current team is different from the situation at that time: "When Zidane joined, we won the Champions League, and when I left, Beckham joined, the team did decline, but it was not because of these players, but Florentino's plan was different from now on."

"The team now has a deep lineup and many first-class international players. This summer they introduced Arnold, Wyson, Alvaro Carreras and Mastantono, which all looked very talented. ”

"The team has a huge lineup, not many players leave the team, and there are many superstars. Maybe they just need to work better and find a balance because they do have the strength to be an outstanding team. I think Rodrigo will stay, and I would be surprised if Real Madrid let him go unless Rodrigo has had unpleasant talks with Xavi. "

Real Madrid will host Osasuna at home on Tuesday to start their La Liga journey. The national derby this season is highly anticipated, with Arnold and Bellingham going to face off against Barcelona’s loaned Rashford: “Barcelona has not strengthened its defense line and may be a little vulnerable if it lets go Inigor Martinez.”

“But Rashford has a huge opportunity, he has been underperforming at Manchester United in the past two years, and now he suddenly joins one of the best teams in the world, especially with a great front line, which is a great opportunity for him to prove himself.”
