It has been revealed how those within the Manchester City camp view Rodri.
In an interview with the Manchester City midfielder, AS also gave an insight into his relationships with his teammates, the coaching staff and all the employees at the club.
Since signing for the Sky Blues in 2019, Rodri has gone on to become one of their standout performers in the past few years.
How Manchester City staff view Rodri behind the scenes
Elano pinpointed how the Spaniard continues to get better and better under Pep Guardiola’s keen eye.
While Gabby Agbonlahor went as far as to rank the former Atletico Madrid anchor just outside Europe’s current five best players.
AS have now revealed how Rodri is viewed by those behind the scenes at Manchester City.
“What’s more, he has won over his teammates and the coaching staff because of his youthful and affable character. A joker and a guy committed to the club he represents.”
“His calm and hierarchical character has conquered City. There is no one in the club who speaks badly of him. He is a captain with capital letters. He greets all employees kindly”, the report stated.
Rodri already has a case for being a club legend
Despite having been at Manchester City for just four years, Rodri has hit such heights that it is hard to dispute why he should not be considered as a club legend.
For starters, in his last two seasons, the ex-Villareal lynchpin has produced moments that instantly put him in the club’s history books.
It goes without saying that Rodri’s unforgettable winner in the Champions League final is one of Manchester City’s most iconic moments to date.
Or, for instance, against Aston Villa on the final day of the 2021/2022 Premier League season, while Ilkay Gundogan rightly stole the headlines, the comeback from Manchester City to clinch the title would not have been completed if not for his belter of an equaliser minutes before.
Moments aside as well, Rodri, in terms of his completeness is already performing at a standard that makes it seemingly inevitable that he will go down as one of the game’s greatest-ever defensive midfielders.
Taking such factors into consideration, the three-time Premier League winner certainly has a strong case to be viewed as a Manchester City legend.
