As: Rodrigo and Alonso have a happy cooperation, the player decided to stay at Real Madrid and regain confidence

Recently, Ass talked about Rodrigo's current state, and they said that the players regained their smiles under the new coach Alonso and decided to stay at Real Madrid.

In recent training, 24-year-old Rodrigo said he was "very happy" via social media. Previously, he almost disappeared from Real Madrid's league match, and his last appearance was in the final of the Copa del Rey against Barcelona on April 26.

Rodrigo was replaced at the halftime of that game and never played again. There are even rumors that he may not be in the 2025/26 squad. However, he made a 180-degree turn: when it was widely believed that he would be the target of the summer transfer market, he decided to stay with the team and wait for the future, and Alonso's arrival seemed to make him feel very happy.

Rodrigo's contract with Real Madrid did not expire until June 30, 2028, which means he has three seasons left and his termination fee is as high as 1 billion euros. He has lost more than four kilograms of weight since the Cup of del Rey final due to a stomach virus infection, coupled with a depressed mood of failing to score in 17 consecutive games, which has once disappeared from the public eye.

Since then, he has been working out in the gym in Valdebebas. Even the day before Real Madrid's game against Mallorca, he participated in the team's training, but then spoke with Ancelotti and returned indoors.

The end of the season and a week of holidays spent in his hometown of Brazil allowed him to relax and face the new challenges of the new season again. Now, he feels "very happy" and feels good about his cooperation with Alonso.
