Rodrygo Goes: The Protagonist Speaks on Pressure, Criticism, and Brazil’s Performance

Rodrygo Goes was the protagonist at the press conference in Brazil after the work session already held in Montevideo. The team traveled after drawing against Venezuela at home and with the pressure to improve the performance shown. Furthermore, the Real Madrid forward is going through some difficult weeks, in which he has not been able to find the net. He spoke about the game, the pressure and the criticism.

Be the nine

“It is always important to be able to perform various functions. I have always made it clear that I have the ability to play on the wings, I simply don’t like playing as a 9, although in my club I have to do it. Here in the National Team, I can move all over the field, which has helped my game. It’s important to be able to do all of those jobs, as it increases your chances of not being replaced. This is fundamental for me.”

The pressure

“I see myself under more pressure, taking on more and more responsibility. It’s a positive pressure, knowing that people expect something from you, trust you. “This is how I see myself in this new cycle, and I hope to live up to those expectations.”

“This happens to all forwards, spending time without scoring goals is frustrating. But sometimes it’s a matter of bad luck; Defenders can score on set pieces, but we had opportunities and we didn’t take advantage of them. We must work to get the goals flowing again, so that the forwards score. We had opportunities to score, and anxiety can be an obstacle in this regard.”

Neymar

“On the field, everything he contributes does not change at all whether he is 31 years old or not. He still has the same quality as always and he is our main player. Despite the criticism he often receives, those of us who know him closely know that he is totally different from the image that some people have of him. It makes me sad to see certain comments, as he has helped me a lot. Sometimes, I’m at my club and he, from Saudi, sends me messages; that is very helpful. On the field, there is no doubt that, if we lose or draw, the greatest responsibility falls on him. But when we win, it becomes clear that he is our best player.”

Diniz Scheme

“It depends a lot on the system the team plays in that day (on whether to use Richarlison or Gabriel Jesus). Sometimes I will be on the sides, in the center, each forward has his own style and plays in a different way. It depends on how the team approaches and how we plan the attack. I have to remain neutral on this question.”

“I am very happy to be part of this new cycle. My whole family is a Diniz fan; He worked in Osasco, and everyone followed him. It’s part of my family’s history.”

Reviews

“From the outside, looking from the inside, that doesn’t affect much, it’s a distortion, and it makes us angry. There are games in which we don’t play well and we win. In other games we played well and ended up drawing. Football is something that has no clear explanation, but we all know what we should do and we have the right mentality. We are not happy with that and we do not want it to happen again. The key is to dominate the game and make sure we close it out, rather than giving the opponent the opportunity to tie with a spectacular goal.”

Valverde

“It’s not a bet, but we talk a lot about it. He said: “You don’t even need to go, stay in Madrid.” We must be careful with him. I’m a big fan of his football; I consider him to be one of the best players in the world. It will be a difficult match, and we must be attentive to Valverde.”

“We are very happy to see all the expectations that have been generated around us, me, Neymar, Vini and Richarlison, and everyone else who is arriving. We hope to live up to it, we are quality players and we can contribute a lot to Brazil. “Personally, I used to enjoy watching the Real Madrid trio, the BBC: Bale, Benzema and Cristiano.”

Araújo

“He already knows us and we know him, he is a strong rival and it is very difficult to overcome him. “It will be a beautiful match, we hope everything goes well for Brazil, but we know it will be a difficult challenge.”
