Rodrygo Speaks His Truth After Pachuca: "We Can No Longer Deny..."

 

Real Madrid imposed themselves 3-0 against Pachuca in the Intercontinental Cup final on Wednesday evening in Doha. Author of an anthological goal, Rodrygo Goes looks back on Real Madrid's performance, his personal progress, and takes the opportunity to praise Vinícius Jr.

Real Madrid once again wrote a glorious page in their history by winning the FIFA Intercontinental Cup on Wednesday evening in Doha, Qatar. Facing a valiant but limited Pachuca team, Carlo Ancelotti's men rolled out their game to win 3-0.

The opening goal came in the first half, thanks to Kylian Mbappé, who concluded a superb action by Vinícius Jr. After the break, Rodrygo Goes scored a gem that put the Mexicans on their knees. Finally, Vinícius sealed the victory with a penalty and capped off a collectively masterful performance.

Rodrygo Goes Praises Vinícius Jr

Rodrygo Goes once again demonstrated the extent of his talent. Author of a second splendid goal, he also impressed with his impact on the game. After the match, the Brazilian international confided in Telecinco.

"It was a bit emotional, especially with the VAR intervention. Jude [Bellingham] passes in front of the goalkeeper, but he doesn't interfere with the action. I'm so happy to have scored another goal in a final and to win another title with this jersey," he first declared before praising Vinícius Jr, who was named the competition's best player.

"Vinícius? He's doing very well. He's improving day by day. I'm always happy for him. We have a great team, and we're very happy," he added.

In a more introspective moment, Rodrygo discussed the challenges he faced due to recurring injuries. This plague, which often hindered his progress, seems to be behind him now.

"Now, I feel good, without injuries. It was difficult for me mentally, because you want to help the team, but you can't. I was used to playing one game and getting injured again. But today, I feel better physically. I work better and rest more. I received a lot of support during this process," he concluded.

This victory is also a strong message sent by the Madrid attack. With a Kylian Mbappé in top form, a creative and decisive Vinícius Jr, and a Rodrygo now freed from his physical problems, Real Madrid has a formidable frontline. Carlo Ancelotti, who doesn't hide his ambition to make history, can rejoice in the understanding between his stars.
