‘He’s the best’ and I think he is better than Kelvin De Bruyne”- Pep Guardiola says £63m Man City star is the best player in Manchester City and the world
According to Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, Rodri is the world’s best defensive midfield player.
The Catalan manager was questioned about if the £62.8 million (Independent) player is the best player in his position on the planet following City’s 3-1 victory over Red Star Belgrade (Mirror).
It was not unexpected to learn that Pep Guardiola believes so, especially in light of Rodri’s incredible performance on Tuesday night.
Rodri, who is 27 years old, is the “best” defensive midfielder in the world, according to Pep Guardiola. The 27-year-old was once again faultless at the Etihad Stadium, earning praise for his “top-class” play after the match.
The Spaniard finished his performance with a magnificent goal, playing flawless defense and creating shots out of thin air with his deft footwork and strong ball-carrying abilities.
“Right now, yeah,” Pep Guardiola responded when asked if Rodri truly is the best holding midfield player in the world. He is the finest.
Though he still has room for improvement, he is an exceptional holding midfielder. He has a good mentality. We were fortunate that the player the club signed wasn’t this kind of player when he arrived.
There is a case can be made for Rodri surpassing Fernandinho at his best.
Finding out which No. 6—Rodri or Fernandinho—Pep Guardiola thinks is actually superior would be interesting.
However, in his peak, the treble-winning midfielder might have even outperformed the legendary Brazilian.
Fernandinho outplays Rodri defensively since he can cover a lot more ground than the player.
To be precise, the later is just better than the previous, even though the former was outstanding.
Rodri has advanced to the point where he can now actually create opportunities and better control the flow of a game.
Although it’s a difficult argument to make, the three-time Premier League winner’s genius is demonstrated by the fact that he can even be compared to a player of Fernandinho’s caliber.
