League suspension of Mallorca's captain, Dani Rodriguez, following complaints submitted after their match against Real Madrid.
Football Star Dani Rodríguez Speaks Out After Suspension
Spanish footballer Dani Rodríguez has broken his silence following his suspension from Mallorca on September 3, 2025. In an open letter published in Spanish media and an Instagram post, the midfielder expressed his thoughts on the situation.
Despite reports suggesting otherwise, Rodríguez denied being upset that his children did not watch him play. Instead, he used the platform to advise his children not to expect anything from anyone, but to do things for themselves and their passion. The Instagram post included a photo of his family at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, where Mallorca lost to Real Madrid with a score of 2-1.
Rodríguez was an unused substitute in the match, and his suspension came as a surprise to many. Since Mallorca announced his suspension, he has given no public statements. However, in his open letter, he expressed his respect for coach Jagoba Arrasate's decisions and his hope that forward Jan Virgili, a recent signing, would succeed at Mallorca and that they could help each other.
The midfielder claimed that meritocracy, culture, and respect for hard work are lacking in the club. He also stated his frustration about the lack of respect for commitment and dedication, particularly in light of Virgili being given playing time over teammates with long service.
Mallorca stripped Rodríguez of his captaincy with immediate effect, and he was also suspended from duty and pay. The exact date of his suspension is not provided in the available search results, but it is known that he trained the club FC St. Gallen before his suspension.
Rodríguez wrote the open letter to clarify matters because his family was going through a tough time. He emphasised the importance of meritocracy, culture, and respect for hard work in football and urged for a change in the club's approach.
