'Add the R of Rodrygo': Rodrygo claims his role in Madrid attack

It has not been a quiet week for Real Madrid, who celebrated the European Super Cup but did not finish with a good feeling in the draw against Mallorca.

The team was stuck in a rut and failed to find the intensity that Carlo Ancelotti, who is calling for a squad that is a little more committed to pressing and stealing up front, was asking for. 'Los Blancos' were in the limelight again on Sunday, according to a post on Rodrygo's official WhatsApp channel.

The Brazilian, in it, analysed the draw in Palma against Mallorca in a first reference in the message, although he went a step further and took the opportunity to vindicate himself after his goal.

"Hi guys, yesterday the result was not what we wanted. In La Liga, every point makes the difference in the end. I'm happy with the goal and with the growth of the team.

"Last week they talked about the trio of Bellingham, Mbappe and Vini, but they are going to have to add the R of Rodrygo to that acronym. We have a quartet of attackers and the rest of the team. They all have their importance in the games and will show their value in the different competitions in which we participate. The week will be full of hard work until our next match at the Bernabeu," he wrote.

These statements did not take long to go viral on social networks. After the debates that always arise after a puncture, these words did not go down well with Madrid fans. Shortly afterwards, this message from the WhatsApp channel was deleted.

These statements made some reference to the headlines that followed the European Super Cup title. In them, the stardom of the squad in the 'BMV' -Bellingham, Mbappe and Vinicius- was limited. Rodrygo himself was even cut out of a photograph, something that was indirectly referred to in the publication.

According to reports in Spain, the player's inner circle, who decided to delete the post because it had been misinterpreted, explained that they intended to send a message and highlight the role of Rodrygo himself, but above all of the team as a team.
