Rodri, Spain and Manchester City are still celebrating for a Ballon d’Or that travels throughout the country waiting for the midfielder to recover from his injury. In the last few hours, Pep Guardiola’s footballer analyzed a gala for the history of the award and where he beat Vinicius with Real Madrid behind him. The former directed by Diego Simeone even had time to talk about Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as great dominators of the award.
“Who was the best? I’ll stick with Messi because Cristiano has equaled himself without an innate talent like Leo’s. Those of us who play against them realize it right away. Cristiano was in the area and Messi, you knew that something was going to happen anywhere on the field.“, Rodri’s reflections on the public TV program The Anthill throughout the last few hours. He confesses his admiration for the Argentine, as well as that several talents from Spain were overshadowed by his presence in the 21st century.
The reality is that Rodri does not escape the controversies of the Ballon d’Or. He claimed that he is not the best footballer born on Spanish soil to win it, as well as that Leo and CR7 are to blame for La Roja not having more winners in this sense. Aim for Andrés Iniesta as Xavi: “Spain has had one of the best moments in the history of football and the fact that we only had one Ballon d’Or was curious. There are many who are better than me and don’t have it at home. “They have lived with Messi and Cristiano, two Martians.”
“Messi got the ball and you said: ‘Danger.’ “When I started to play against him, I tried to take the ball away from him and he avoided you like heifers in bullfights… You always had the feeling that something bad was going to happen,” The Manchester City player finished answering the question that has marked the last 15 years of this game. While recovering from a cruciate injury that marked, barring a 180-degree turn, the end of his season, Rodri surrenders to La Pulga.
The Spaniard wins a Ballon d’Or marked by his fourth consecutive Premier League with Manchester Cityas well as for a Euro Cup where he led one of the best litters that Spain has produced since 2010. Added to this are 9 goals and 14 assists being a central midfielder and just one defeat against Manchester United in the FA Cup final last May. He had an undefeated record greater than 40 games before that date for the United Kingdom. The new best player in the world chooses Messi as GOAT.
