When it is Madrid it is Madrid and every player wants to play for Madrid. You saw the press statement by the club owners that nobody wants to leave the club, when you’re big you’re big. I think Rodrygo will gradually get game time, the season has just began there are still plenty of games to be played and players will get fatigued and injured so he will certainly get his time.
Real Madrid remains a big team that all the players will love to remain and represent the club in all competitions but you see the area of some players not getting enough playing time in the team I think the press statement should go a long way to address that and Incase some people still don't understand what Xabi is doing in the team, he is not sure of his best team yet that's why he changes the formation of the team most times in their matches. Rodrigo just need to be in good form that is the only way he will be given a playing time in the team for now I think Xabi Alonso is not considering any player as his best for now.
This is normal because every season there are always some players who don't get playing time, and that's a condition where competition and priorities for the coach's plans come into play, because seeing some players who don't get enough playing time is not only the case in Madrid but also in Barcelona, Atletico, or even other clubs.
When a coach tries to implement certain strategies, including training plans and player lineups, it inevitably means sacrificing certain things, including playing time for players who don't fit into the planned scheme. So, it's not really that unusual.
The reason some players aren't given enough playing time is often overblown, as clubs naturally aim to perform well each season, and this requires a well-thought-out plan, including player selection.
We know that last season in Madrid we often discussed Arda not getting playing time under Ancelotti, and now under Xabi we are always arguing about Rodrygo not getting more playing time. But we realize that there are only 11 players on the field and competition always exists, not only for the club but also between players and between positions.
