@xallym: 🚨Frenkie de Jong on his conversation with Rodri in training: “I was talking to Rodri in training, and honestly, I just had to tell him what was on my mind. I said, ‘Listen, I don't know if you've noticed what's happening, but it looks like you've taken my spot in this team. You're starting every game, the manager trusts you, and suddenly I'm the one having to fight for my minutes.’ “And I told him, ‘Don't get too comfortable, because I'm not going to sit here and watch you take my position. I know what I bring to this team, and I'm going to get my starting place back. One way or another.’ “Then Rodri looked at me and started laughing. He said, ‘Frenkie, you really think it's that easy? No manager in his right mind is going to bench a Ballon d'Or winner and a World Cup winner just because you want your position back.’ “I looked at him and said, ‘So that's how you're seeing it? You think because you've won those trophies, nobody can take your place?’ “He laughed again and said, ‘I'm just telling you the truth. You can fight for your position, but you're going to have to do something special.’ “Honestly, that annoyed me a little bit because he was talking like the position already belonged to him. I told him, ‘Rodri, don't confuse the manager trusting you with the manager forgetting about me. I'm not finished here. You might be starting now, but that doesn't mean you're going to keep starting.’ “He just smiled and said, ‘We'll see what happens.’ “And I told him, ‘Exactly. We'll see. Because I'm not giving you this position without a fight.’ “That's how the conversation ended. He walked away laughing, but I don't think he understands how serious I am about getting my place back.”#footballnews #footballupdate #creatorsearchinsights
