Real Madrid’s Brazilian striker Rodrygo Goes acknowledges that he has “grown in all aspects” since his arrival at the Madrid team and therefore believes that this season that is about to start he will be “better” even than in the previous one.

“I have grown in all aspects. I train and work every day to improve as a person and as a player. Now I am more mature, I relate to older people who teach me many things. As a player too, playing with the best in the world, every Every day I’m learning and improving,” said Rodrygo in an interview with the official UEFA media collected by the Real Madrid website on the occasion of next week’s European Super Cup match against Eintracht.

The 21-year-old footballer wants to “score more goals, assist and play more every day”. “I think I’m getting better and playing better every season. In my first year I think I was good, in the second I couldn’t play much because of a serious injury and in the third I was better. In the next season, I think I’m going to be better than in the previous ones,” he warned.

In any case, he does not like to set “goals” or “think about scoring a number of goals or assists.” “The only thing I think about is being better than the previous season. I want to play better in the next game, those are my goals”, confesses the international.

In addition, despite being at a club like Real Madrid, he sees “more fun playing under pressure”. “Playing without anything at stake is not funny, especially when we talk about sports and competitiveness. It’s good to have that pressure,” Rodrygo stressed.

The striker “still” cannot “believe” that he has already won the Champions League. “Playing for Real Madrid and winning the Champions League has always been one of my biggest dreams and I’ve achieved it at only 21 years old. I think it’s hard to assimilate that I’ve achieved it, but not just for the Champions League, I’ve already won League Two times and another two times the Spanish Super Cup. I think it couldn’t have been better”, he assured.

The Brazilian once again praises the figure of Luka Modric, whom he sees almost “like a father” and with whom “it is much easier to play because of the quality he has”, and he does not forget Carlo Ancelotti, a coach who ” He is successful wherever he goes.

“Here it could not be different. He has done a spectacular job with us since the day he arrived, I always remember everything he told us during the preseason, the advice he gave us. During the season the team continued to grow and improve, we had few moments bad and in the end everything went well”, he added about the Italian.

Now, the next objective is the European Super Cup next week against the German Eintracht. “I have never played one and it will be very special for me. In all the finals, we forget the name of the competition and we just want to win, we always go out to win, it is the mentality of our team”, he sentenced.
