Real Madrid’s Brazilian striker got a little heated with an opposing defender on Thursday night.
For his last game with Real Madrid before the 2022 World Cup, Rodrygo did not score during the victory of the Merengues against Cadiz (2-1) Thursday evening.
At a stage of the season where players fear the injury that could deprive them of the World Cup, the Brazilian got annoyed after a bad gesture from an opposing defender, Fali, who pushed him away with his arm when the ball was far away. .
“It’s not an accident. He did it on purpose. He looked at me and hit me. That’s a shame. I don’t know what the VAR is for. Aggression has no place in football.”Rodrygo was indignant.
While this incident caused a scuffle in which Vinicius Jr also participated, Fali stigmatized the behavior of the Brazilians of Real. “Just as I say about Rodrygo that he is a good boy, I will not say anything about Vinícius. I prefer not to say anything. A club like Real Madrid has to control certain attitudes.”said the defender of Cadiz, who assures that he pushed Rodrygo back but that he did not hit him.
After the match, Rodrygo took care to relay the video of the scene on Twitter. “He told me he had done nothing”wrote the attacker, with a lot of laughter emoticons.
