Rodri has strengthened the Matador Team since 2018 but has not found his best performance because he is placed as a defender, not at his best as a midfielder.
The Manchester City player finally got the right position in the coaching era of Luis de la Fuente. By becoming a midfielder, Rodri can arrange attacks, read matches as well as organize back lines.
"He dictates the game the way he plays. I feel Rodri is the main key to their game," England striker totaled Watkins at a press conference, Friday, July 12.
Real Madrid defender and Spanish national team Dani Carvajal even admired Rodri so much and asked him to leave Manchester City to strengthen Los Blancos.
"I often ask him to come to Madrid," Carvajal said.
"I said to him'stay behind Manchester, there is no sun there and come to Madrid, we greet you," Carvajal said.
On the other hand, Rodri confirmed that he had not wanted to leave Manchester City, which he had strengthened since leaving Atletico Madrid in 2019.
