Ancelotti’s Tactical Shift: Rodrygo’s New Role at Real Madrid
Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid’s highly tactical manager, has once again showcased his strategic expertise by altering the role of one of the club’s brightest talents, Rodrygo Goes. In a recent press conference, Ancelotti discussed his plans for the 23-year-old Brazilian forward, who has recently recovered from injury. The coach expressed both his enthusiasm for Rodrygo’s return and his belief that this positional change will unlock the player’s full potential.
After a period of absence, Rodrygo is now fully fit and ready to contribute to Madrid’s ongoing season. His return is timely as Los Blancos continue to compete on multiple fronts. While Rodrygo has primarily played in wide attacking positions, Ancelotti hinted at a shift in direction.
“He’s back and ready to shine,” Ancelotti said. “But I’ve changed his position, and I believe this new role will make him even more dangerous.”
This remark has fueled speculation among fans and analysts about the impact this change will have on Madrid’s tactics.
Though Ancelotti didn’t provide full details of the new role, his history suggests a well-thought-out plan to tap into Rodrygo’s versatility. With his speed, intelligent movement, and finishing ability, Rodrygo may take on a more central role, possibly as a second striker or even a false nine.
This shift could follow the pattern of other successful positional changes orchestrated by Ancelotti, such as those made with Luka Modrić.
