Rodri: "I'm not Messi, helping the team is different"

Manchester City midfielder Rodri openly admitted he couldn't have the same unparalleled influence on his team as Leo Messi. These words came after the 3rd round of the Premier League, where City lost 1-2 away to Brighton.

"I'm not Messi. I won't be able to bring much benefit to the team immediately after the injury. In our previous victories, everything was achieved not only thanks to me, but also with the great support of my teammates.

Of course, I want to return to my best state. This requires additional work and more effort. However, it is important to remember that football is a team game. Every victory comes with the contribution of all the players.

After the national team matches, I hope we will play even stronger and more effectively," Rodri said in a statement to the press.

Thus, the Spanish midfielder once again demonstrated that he always values himself with a team spirit and unity.
