Speaking to the club’s official channels, the Real Madrid striker Rodrygo analyzed the victory against Espanyol: “Winning with this shirt is always very important and it is our objective. This was a difficult match. The coach is angry with us because we only scored in the second half. Today it was a bit complicated when we conceded, but we remained calm and won. We reacted quickly to our opponent’s goal.
In the pre-match speech, the coach told us that we did badly in the first half and that we had to do better today. We didn’t score either, but in the second half everything went well and we won. The season has just started and we are improving every day. On an individual level, I am in good shape physically and mentally and I am always ready to help the team.
Vinicius? There is a great atmosphere, there is a lot of respect between everyone and we want the same goal. Vini’s assist was spectacular, as was Modrić’s. Vini is improving more and more in this area and I thank him for his help. It is more difficult than it seems. 38 games are a lot and anything can happen. But we want to continue like this and not lose during the season”.
