If Rodrygo isn't going to play for Real Madrid, why would he stay? Because there are many European teams that believe he's a good fit for their system. Manchester City, for one, is keeping tabs on him. We knew Pep Guardiola wanted to bring him in. If I were Xabi Alonso, I'd sell him and bring in a young player instead. Even the current squad isn't one that would be affected by his sale. Therefore, I think it would be unfair to bench the Brazilian this year.
Despite Rodrygo being fit, Xabi Alonso was unable to confidence him in the first match of the La Liga season but in the second match against Oviedo he was seen on the field from the start and trusted him. Although Real Madrid won the match, I was not satisfied with the team performance and I think most fans would agree with me. Rodrygo form last season was not better and if the new coach Xabi thinks so he can be sold but I think he can shine even more brilliantly if he is looked after. He performed fairly well in the match against Oviedo and if he is given a chance in the next matches, maybe he can do better.
We can't interfere with this manager's strategy because he put players like Vinicius Junior on the bench against Oviedo. Rodrygo was at the top of the priority list against Oviedo but when he was transferred to the bench, he became annoyed. The coach's plan was to maybe transfer this Brazilian player and Mastatuono together and then give Vini a chance, it is worth considering that when Vinicius Junior entered the field, Madrid's attacking landscape changed. It must be said that Madrid won by a large margin but it was thanks to Vinicius' assist and his goal that the Spanish club took this big lead in this match.

We have previously seen that this Brazilian player always plays as a starter in Madrid but he showed his explosive skills even when he came on as a substitute against Oviedo in this La Liga match and putting the coach's wishes first.
