Carlo Ancelotti Reveals He Will Deploy Rodrygo in New Position This Season

• Brazil star Rodrygo Goes is set to get a new role under Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti this season
• Rodrygo has become a key member of Carlo Ancelloti's side, having scored two quick goals to help his side seal an epic comeback against Manchester City.
• Rodrygo got his chance in 2019 when Real Madrid signed him from Santos FC and he has since become a first-team member of the side

Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes is set to make his first appearance in the ongoing La Liga season.

The Brazilian youngster has missed the opening two games so far due to a muscle injury in his right leg as a result of an overload of the muscle.

He has now made Carlo Ancelotti's roster ahead of the clash against Espanyol at the Cornellà-El Prat stadium on Sunday.

For the most part of last season, Rodrygo was very much a squad player but ended up playing instrumental role in Madrid's run to the Champions League final.

And in his pre-match presser ahead of the clash against Espanyol, Ancelotti stated that Rodrygo would have more playing time this campaign.

“He will have a bigger role because the last year he made the difference in important matches and he will be a starter more often.”

“He will play on the right wing and he will be able to replace Vinicius on the left, even in place of Karim [Benzema]. Watch out for him in the role of Karim. He is very complete and it will be an important year for him.”

It's worth a mention that the experiment of playing Rodrygo as a no. 9 or a 'false nine' hasn't really paid off in the past.
