Rodrygo, in the run-up to the Champions League final: “Ancelotti offers the XI one day before the match”

Rodrygo Goes, striker who was key to real Madrid throughout the Champions League, he stated that they are “mentally very strong” to face the final of the Champions against Liverpool this Saturday in Paris, where he hopes to do something unforgettable for the merengue fans.

“Mentally we are very strong. We know that until the end of the game we have to believe and we will be very strong for all situations.s,” said the 21-year-old attacker in an interview with Globo.

The former Santos player hopes not to have to go through “another extension”, as in the quarterfinals against Chelsea and in the semifinals against Manchester City, and “win in the 90 minutes” regulation.

”But if the extension arrives, we are also prepared, we have already gone through two”, he warned. Rodrygo, author of the two goals in extremis that forced the extra time in the semis, waits “To be able to do something to be remembered and for Real Madrid to be proclaimed champion”at the ‘Stade de France’ in Saint-Dennis.

He assured that he still does not know if he will start because the white team’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti, usually communicates it to the players a day before the match.

”When I am going to play as a starter, the day before he arrives and tells me: ‘Tomorrow you are going to play’. If he doesn’t say anything, it’s because I’m not going to play. But for the final he hasn’t talked to anyone yet because we (just) started the preparation”, he indicated.
