Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo: I live for the pressure

Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo Goes says he's learned to handle the expectations of club and country.

The Brazil international feels comfortable at both levels at this stage in his career.

Rodrygo told the Guardian: “I play for the biggest national team and the biggest club in the world.

“If I don't want pressure playing for those two, something is wrong. There would be no way to continue. I can never settle for losing.

“That's the mentality of Real Madrid and the Seleção. I always think about winning. That's what I've got in my head. I need to win to please the Brazil and Real Madrid supporters."
