Rodri

“Once you start winning big titles, you don't want to stop.”

“What ultimately matters to me in football Is what I achieved collectively.”

“I try to help my teammates all the time but I try to grow every game, try to learn about the past.”

“If the manager thinks it's the right thing to do to pick me, then I will give everything for the national team.”

“What we have to put on the pitch is the effort, running. Then the football comes along.”

“Playing in the Premier League is incredible and even more so playing for Manchester City.”

“Always when you have a big defeat you learn.”

“The only thing I can say is that I will give everything to my team.”

“I watched the big teams in the Premier League, Manchester City the most. I like the way they play. I think they're the only team in the Premier League that plays differently and shows another type of football.”

“Sometimes it's better for footballers to be occupied by something else.”

“I idolised Zinedine Zidane.”

“There are some people who are just born with this passion for football, and that was me.”

“We all have someone close, a friend or a family member, who has been touched somehow by the coronavirus, so it's not easy.”

“From a defensive point of view, I prefer to play with a double-pivot because you have more defensive support, you cover less ground.”

“I was at Villarreal for two years in the first team, then for a short time at Atletico.”

“If you like tattoos, perfect. But I'm scared. I think: 'At 60, I'm going to have this?'”

“Sometimes when you have bad news or bad moments, it can make you grow.”

“When I was a kid, I was more interested in understanding football than enjoying it. I was interested in how it worked.”

“I watched Busquets especially closely. He, and others, lay down a model of playing I knew I had to follow.”

“Gavi is someone who is loved greatly, he has a very strong personality. Sometimes he gets criticised for it, but personally I love it. He shows the purity of someone who enjoys playing football by going to the maximum, doing anything for what he loves.”
