In one of the intense Premier League matches, Manchester City drew 2-2 with Tottenham. After the match, City midfielder Rodri went to the microphone and openly expressed his thoughts about the game - especially regarding the refereeing.
According to the Spanish footballer, the team deserved more in this game. He emphasized that in recent matches, Manchester City has been experiencing a slight decline in the second half, and this is precisely what allows the opponents to "come back."
Rodri explained this situation as follows: the team isn't always fully controlling the game, so the opponent can take a counter-punch at any moment. In short, maintaining an advantage in the score doesn't mean victory yet; attention is needed until the end of every minute on the field.
The most critical point is the judges' decision. Rodri said there was a gross error in the first goal episode, and that goal shouldn't have been counted at all. In his opinion, it was this decision that strongly affected the spirit of the game: although the team didn't lose their composure, the shot was influenced "from within."
"The referees made a gross error in the situation with the first goal. The goal shouldn't have been counted. This affected us very strongly. We need to learn from the situation in the game," Rodri said.
In conclusion, Rodri emphasized one thing: it is necessary to draw the right conclusions from this situation. Whether it's a referee's mistake or a slowdown in the second half - it's all a lesson. Because in the championship race, even small details decide a big thing: one decision, one episode, one minute - and the distance in the table changes.
