Brazilian footballer Rodrygo is set to travel to the United States this week to support the Seleção at the upcoming World Cup. Rodrygo will not be playing in the tournament due to a knee injury he suffered in March.
He stated that watching the squad presentation without his name on the list was difficult. Despite this, Rodrygo expressed high hopes for the team under the leadership of Carlo Ancelotti. He plans to continue his daily treatment for the injury while attending the matches, aiming to experience the competition in a different way.
Rodrygo, who hails from Osasco in the state of São Paulo, acknowledged the privilege of attending the World Cup. However, he also conveyed the complex emotions of a player who participated in the entire qualifying cycle, the Copa América, and other matches leading up to the tournament.
The desire to wear the national team jersey at the World Cup has been a dominant thought for Rodrygo since Brazil's elimination in the 2022 quarter-finals. In that tournament, Croatia's goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic saved his penalty, leading to Brazil's exit.
