According to ESPN, Brazilian coach Ancelotti talked about Rodrigo, who was re-selected to Brazil at a press conference to announce the team's training list for the international match day in October.
Ancelotti said: "Rodrigo has not had many opportunities to play in Real Madrid recently, but he has performed well every time he appears. He is in good health and is also very motivated to play for the Brazilian national team. Rodrigo is a very important member of the Brazilian national team. He has extremely critical technical characteristics and is competent for all positions in the front line. Therefore, I believe he can help the Brazilian national team very much. Everyone is familiar with Rodrigo. He has encountered some problems before (at Real Madrid), but has successfully overcome them. Now he is in very good health. I hope he can play side by side with us."
Ancelotti also explained why he recruited two players Gomez and Andre, who are now playing for the Premier League Wolves. Ancelotti said: "I want to know them more. Although we have many choices in the midfield position, I hope I can get familiar with them- After all, they performed very well in the Premier League. "
