Ancelotti Says Rodrygo Is Sad and Sidelined by Leg Injury and Fever
Carlo Ancelotti, the outgoing Real Madrid boss, got candid about Rodrygo’s rough patch at the club. Speaking at a press conference before their LaLiga showdown with Mallorca on Wednesday night, the Italian coach shared that the 24-year-old Brazilian star is feeling down after picking up a leg injury.
Ancelotti explained that Rodrygo’s been under the weather, battling a fever that kept him from training last week. “He’s bummed out because of the leg issue,” Ancelotti said, quoted by Fabrizio Romano. “He wasn’t feeling great, so we’re checking it out to be safe.”
Despite the setback, Ancelotti made it clear he’s got a soft spot for the young forward, who came to Real Madrid from Brazilian side Santos back in 2019. “Rodrygo’s got everyone’s love here, especially mine,” he said with a smile, showing his support for the player as he works through this tough moment.
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
