It’s not Elling Holland, it’s not Phil Foden, it’s not Kevin De Bruyne. The most important player for City is Rodrigo.
On July 7, the BBC published an article titled ‘Rodrigo: Man City’s best player & world’s best midfielder’. The article made a surprising statement. City hasn’t lost a game in the last 60 games he’s started. The last game he played and lost was against Tottenham in February 2023. This unbeaten run surpasses the previous record of 58 games held by former Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho. During this time, City won the league, FA Cup, European Champions League, Super Cup, and Club World Cup.
The breakdown is even more impressive. In the 60 games Rodri started, City won 48 and drew 12. They’ve scored a whopping 156 goals and conceded just 47. That’s nearly three goals per game, while not conceding a single goal. 바카라사이트 Rodri’s greatness is highlighted by his record in the games he missed during this time, as City only won 6 and lost 5 of the 11 games without him. Notably, City lost all three games against Newcastle, Wolverhampton, and Arsenal, the three games in which Rodriguez was sent off earlier in the season.
Rodrigo is the centerpiece of City’s passing game
He has the most passes per 90 minutes in any major European league this season. He leads the league in both attempts and successes. Lately, he’s even been producing offensive points. This season, Rodri has seven goals and six assists. He also scored the winning goal in City’s first European Champions League victory.
After joining City from Atletico Madrid for £62.5 million in 2019, Rodriguez was touted as Fernandinho’s successor, and he has exceeded expectations to become an integral part of City’s defense. “He’s an unbelievable player,” 사설 토토사이트 Pep Guardiola said of Rodríguez. He’s the best midfielder in the world,” he said, adding, “I don’t think we would have achieved what we have done in recent years without him.”
Luton Town captain Tom Lockyer added: “He’s just a Rolls-Royce. He presses and he doesn’t lose the ball,” said Luton Town captain Tom Lockyer, “He’s definitely a player who inspires awe on the pitch. He definitely inspires awe on the pitch and makes you think, ‘What can this guy do?
