Rodrigo highlights Ancelotti support after Real Madrid win

Rodrigo Goes was delighted after Real Madrid's 4-0 win against Girona.

Rodrigo scored in the rout on Saturday.

He said: "It was a key game. We know it's important to win every game but tonight it was even more so. It went the way we wanted and we're delighted with the win.

“The coach never speaks to me about scoring goals because he has faith in me and I in him. Sometimes we go through spells that are not what we want but I'd like to thank him for the support because he's always been right behind me. He gave me another opportunity today and I got the goal so I'm thrilled. We talk all the time but about other things, we don't like to add to the pressure on goals and assists, we know that will come naturally.

"Of course I'm frustrated when I go games without scoring but I have to stay calm. Ancelotti told me I was doing a good job defensively in the first half but then after the break he said I was struggling and he wanted to bring me off. He put that little bit of pressure on but I scored and it's all good."
