"We have a lot of games and I'm sure that there will be a game where he will not be a starter. He will have to accept it naturally. Kylian is very important but there will be days that he may not play from the start. We've played only five games, we have to wait to draw conclusions."
"Obviously [on Thursday] because of what had happened the other day [Tuesday], it wasn't the time to talk to him. But today he seemed more positive and had a happier attitude. I spoke with him, not much. He did some individual work with me and he finished with a very good feeling."
Kylian Mbappé started Real Madrid's opening five matches and scored six goals, but rotation plans mean he may not start every game. Rodrygo has been selected ahead of Vinícius on the left wing on multiple occasions. Vinícius was left out of the Champions League starting XI against Marseille and later returned to training with a more positive attitude after brief individual work. Both Rodrygo and Vinícius have made strong impacts whether starting or coming off the bench. Real Madrid have won their first five games and the squad will be managed to keep all players feeling valuable.
