Still bizarre and inappropriate from Carlo to throw him out there. Also, if Rodrygo is really refusing to play, he should be suspended. Extremely unprofessional stuff from him right now.
do we know Rodrygo is refusing to play? That would be foolish as it only impairs interest by other clubs especially with how he's been playing.....
Supposedly he was still ill from the previous week, but he had performed 4 training sessions so yeah, bullshit excuse as far as I’m concerned. I wish we sold him when his value was high at the beginning of the season like many of us suggested.
Speculation that he doesn't want to play for the club anymore. He allegedly had a fever during the Celta game, didn't feature for the clasico and now "physical problems" against Mallorca. You do the math lol
Perhaps but he's not known for acting like that and under the circumstances I think it would only hurt him. He needs to finish the season well regardless if he wants to stay or go.
Di Maria completely disrespected him on the field and they still managed to patch things up after. It's part of what makes Carlo great, Mourinho would torch players publically and completely kill the relationship. We never lost a single player to internal friction under Carlo. Bale went above him and requested the club to force him into a different position and Carlo still made it work. The guy has Buddhist Monk tier patience.
Carlo is what you call a manager (whatever one may think of the function), many 'managers' are simply coaches. Amazing people skills, and oversees the bigger picture exceptionally well instead of focusing on too many details.
Any chance Fede and Jude can start their vacation now? I’m almost glad Vini is out. Dude seems burnt out. Needs a vacation badly. Such a great call for Rudiger to get his surgery early. Jude needs to do the same and skip the CWC if necessary. Fede should fake an injury to at least miss the next 3 games.
Only players we should be playing in this stupid tournament are the ones who played little this season. Lunin Castilla Asencio Jacob Fran Modric Ceballos Brahim Guler Endrick Castilla
This could be his way of telling the club he wants to be sold this summer perhaps. There was that interview during Brazil NT duties where he complained about being shoehorned as a right winger and not allowed to play in his natural position. I don’t think it’s true as he’s been treated extremely well by Carlo. Most other managers would have dropped him from the starting spot a while back. 1 league goal in 2025.
🚨 Real Madrid have only TWELVE first team players available for the game vs Mallorca.Disaster. pic.twitter.com/3Mz7hRtf48— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) May 13, 2025 We only have 12 first team players available for the game tomorrow. Time to pass out some debuts Oprah Winfrey style.
With both Carvajal and Lucas out, we’ve decided to call up David Jimenez at the right back spot ahead of Jesus Fortea and Lorenzo Aguado who have not been called. Something weird is up with those two. I’m guessing it’s going to be another Fede at RB game
