Real Madrid has been in the spotlight following statements by Rodrygo Goes that haven't left anyone indifferent. Rodrygo spoke in an interview about his performance in the Champions League and his trio with Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior.
However, what surprised many was his omission of Jude Bellingham, who has always been one of his biggest supporters. Why this silence about the English player?
Rodrygo's words on the Champions League and his trio
Rodrygo expressed his enthusiasm for the Champions League, a competition that has always had a special flavor for him. Despite the great competition, the Brazilian has been one of the key pieces for Real Madrid this season. During the interview, he stated that he feels at his best in the European competition and wished to continue contributing to his team's successes.
However, what really caught attention were his comments about the offensive trio he forms with Mbappé and Vinícius. Rodrygo highlighted the importance of playing alongside these two world-class players, describing it as a unique and exceptional experience.
The silence toward Bellingham
What surprised about this is that Rodrygo left Jude Bellingham out of the conversation, who has been a strong supporter of him on several occasions. The English footballer has publicly praised his teammate, stating that Rodrygo is the most talented player on the team.
In a recent interview, Bellingham stated that he considers him the best with the ball, highlighting his skills with his feet and the tricks that leave fans and teammates speechless. Despite these praises, Rodrygo didn't mention him in his speech, which has caused various reactions inside and outside the locker room.
The relationship between Rodrygo and Bellingham
Throughout the season, the relationship between the two has been more than evident. On several occasions, Bellingham has emphasized Rodrygo's talent, who seems to be one of Real Madrid's offensive pillars.
Jude's words, "Rodrygo is the most gifted and talented on the team," reflect the respect and admiration he feels for him. However, it is curious that, in this context of interviews and reflections on his performance, Rodrygo hasn't publicly thanked his teammate's support.
