Everything has been said about a Ballon d’Or that continues to be a topical topic in Europe. In the last hours Rodri He broke his silence to reveal the reason why he beat Vinicius to win the award. The footballer of Pep Guardiola in Manchester City and the Spanish National Team, without hesitation when talking about a France Football gala full of topics.
“I won through consistency, which is the most difficult thing in football. “The most consistent player in the season was me,” Rodri revealed in the last few hours in an interview with COPE where he reviewed everything that happened. There was praise for Guardiola, defining Erling Haaland as the player closest to what the Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo in the last decade and equally words about the absence of Real Madrid in Paris.
Rodri did not hesitate to comment on the whites’ decision not to attend the gala. An unprecedented measure in the history of the club and one that generated dozens of reactions. The Manchester City player, openly, will comment on an item no less at his party: “It didn’t hurt me that Vinicius wasn’t there . Nobody told us he was going to win. You go there and until the envelope is opened… Man, if those from Madrid don’t come it will be for a reason, they would have their reasons, but…I wouldn’t have done it that way, but everyone will know. “I wouldn’t have given it so much focus, diverting the focus in that way is not the best.”
Regularity is the buzzword of said interview. For Manchester City, the numbers justify Rodri’s reflection on his selection as the Ballon d’Or. A total of 10 of the 13 goals conceded in the Premier League by Guardiola’s team came without the Spaniard in the eleven. All this to complete the first time for Pep with four consecutive defeats since his debut in the elite back at the end of the summer of 2008. At the Etihad they are preparing a great tribute for the end of the month and when the skyblues receive Tottenham at the Etihad.
