Rodri says he owes his evolution from a good player to best in the world to Manchester City’s staff and outlined what he plans to do to get even better. Speaking exclusively to FourFourTwo magazine in a one-on-one interview at a location in Madrid where he's been rehabbing his ACL injury, we are curious: how does the best player in the world plan to get even better?
“To be colder,” he says. “Less passionate, and be a better leader every day. The final third is also something I’ve paid attention to – to be involved in goals and assists. Controlling myself when I’m tired, too – don’t move that much, try to stay.”
Rodri’s game doesn’t have a lot of weaknesses. He’s defensively brilliant and has played as a centre-back at a World Cup, he can thread passes, set tempo, sit deep and protect his defence, or operate higher as a ball-player.
