Rodrygo: "Real Madrid is my life" | OneFootball

Rodrygo gave an interview on Realmadrid TV after signing to renew his contract. The Brazilian is delighted to continue at Real Madrid until 2028: "I'm very happy. It's a very special day for me. I'm very happy to be back in this room, like when I signed the first time, and to do it now for my renewal."

"I always dreamed of playing here and, when you come in and start wearing this shirt, you really see its greatness. You could say that Real Madrid is my life. I'm very happy about the renewal. I would like everyone to have a day like this, because it's very special. You have to live it to know what it's like."

An indelible memory as a Madridista "My second goal against Manchester City in the semi-final of the Decimocuarta. That moment will always stay in my memory."

A piece of advice "I'll always be very grateful to Modrić. At a time when I wasn't playing so much, he told me to keep working and training because my time would come. After that I got up and trained harder every day. Then my time came. I started to play, to score goals and to be important for the team."

What is your main motivation? "I always come from home motivated and happy because I'm going to train and play for Real Madrid. There is no greater motivation."

Learning "I've learned to never give up in any situation. I always fight to the end, that's what I've learned here wearing this shirt."

On Florentino Pérez "Very little needs to be said. He's a phenomenon. He's very special and treats us all very well. He always tells me good things, the things I really need to hear. He's very important in my life."

8 titles "I couldn't have imagined it. It was my dream to win everything, but I didn't expect to do it in four seasons. I thought the Champions League, which is the most special, was going to take me a bit longer. I'm very happy because I've already won them all. Now I'd like to win them all again." On Vini Jr. "We came here pretty much at the same time, both very young from Brazil. We've made history together too. We've already won a Champions League and every possible title. This shirt always motivates us to come here to train and play. Doing that with a friend is always special. Vini is like a brother to me and we hope to continue to grow together."

Real Madrid in Brazil "It's seen as the biggest team in the world. An unparalleled team and the pinnacle of football."

Choosing Madrid "It's the biggest club. If you leave here there is no other club as big to go to. It means being at the highest level in football."

How have you changed? "In everything. Now I have a lot more confidence and a lot more strength. I also have the trust of the players who play with me. Physically and technically I've improved everything."

His family's feelings "My father knows that it was always my dream to play here and wear this shirt. When he sees a video with my goals, everything I've done so far and my renewal, he gets very emotional. It's a source of pride for him and I'm very happy to see him like this."

The fans and the Santiago Bernabéu "It's something that can't be explained. Every time I play at the Bernabéu it's one of the most special moments of my career, it's always special. The fans always get behind us right to the end. You have to go there, play and feel it to understand what I'm saying."
