Some people talk about Rodri as if he were the Holy Grail and all the possible solutions, but the truth is, at a football level, I think of their player X or any other player, The only thing that stands out is that they gave him the Ballon d'Or, but for me he's like a "log." That's what we call people here who don't play very well and who sometimes make good plays.

Not to disrespect him, but he doesn't make the difference. The difference at City is made by DeBruyne, Haaland, Foden, among others who are truly class 1A players, Without them, and it's already been proven, City would fall apart In the last UCL match against Madrid, Pep didn't put them in to play, and the rest was grim for Madrid, If Rodri had been present it would have been the same or even worse.

Not to disrespect yeah. However I don't believe Rodri was solid enough to be given a Ballon d'Or. I always believed it should have been given to Vinicius Junior because of having an insane season. But anyways... Tongue

But it is the obvious truth that Manchester City needs Rodri too much in the midfield. They are more fragile without him. Rodri is like the pillar there playing a big role going back and forth to help his teammates. He is out until the summer which is the sad truth for Guardiola.

Talking about the award, there are indeed many controversies among football fans. But that doesn't change anything because it has happened and the award has been given. It just has a little impact on the management whether they are objective or not. Regarding the game, I think he can make a good contribution to Manchester City. But I think that's a different thing, we can't judge from the award and also if we think the award is not deserved, then that doesn't mean we can say he didn't make any contribution,
