Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo Goes admits he wants more starting chances.

Rodrygo made the comments ahead of Sunday's El Clasico.

He sad, "I always want to play and I tell the coach that I have to play, but he tells me to be calm.

"I respect [Carlo Ancelotti], because we have very good players, but I'm there and, when I'm on the pitch I help my team. I want to be a starter.

"Ancelotti is a person with whom I have a very good relationship. He is a great coach and he always helps me a lot."

Real coach Ancelotti has spoken this season about how he thinks Rodrygo's ideal position is at No.10, although this doesn't always exist in the Real Madrid system.

"The truth is that I can play in any position in attack, although, if I had to choose, then I would say my preferred role is that No.10 playmaker one," the Brazilian added.
