Rodri is widely regarded as the best central defensive midfielder (CDM) in the world due to his exceptional blend of tactical intelligence, technical prowess, and physical presence. At Manchester City, Rodri has become the linchpin of Pep Guardiola's system, dictating the game's tempo with his unparalleled passing range and precision. His ability to read the game allows him to intercept plays and break down opposition attacks efficiently. Unlike many CDMs who specialize in either defense or distribution, Rodri excels in both. His calmness under pressure and quick, progressive passes turn defense into attack seamlessly. In contrast, Declan Rice, while talented, operates more as a traditional defensive midfielder, focusing on robust tackling and physicality. Comparing Rodri to Rice is like comparing a Ferrari to a Ford: both are effective, but Rodri, like a Ferrari, represents a higher level of performance and sophistication, integrating defensive acumen with creative playmaking in a way that sets him apart.
What has this lad won this season besides pl bro 😂, vini came from injury and carried madrid more than jude did in the rest of the season, stop the bullshit
@@valtex9038if that cry baby wins it , the balon d'or will lose its credibility, 2nd nowadays they look at individual perfomances and vini only has 20 goals,(even nunez has more goals this season),,,you the one with the bullshit if you think Vini or jude are favourites,,you clearly know nothin abt ball🙄
@@SSBBSG so you’re saying that Rodri is better then 2022 Benzema. Or 2018 Modric. Or 2007 Kaka. Or Ronaldinho, Figo, Zidane, Nedved, Shevchenko, Rivaldo, Baggio, or MESSI AND RONALDO? Get your eyes checked mate. Cause Rodri is not even better than the Rodri last season. Rodri is not even better than Busquets or Kante who never even sniffed a top 3 Ballon D’Or. Rodri was not even the best player in Man City, that was Foden? He wasn’t even the 2nd or 3rd best player for Spain behind Yamal, Nico, and Olmo. And even then wasn’t significantly better than Fabian Ruiz!
@@wayneverhoff2790 man go out and do some real job instead of trying to argue with some people you don't know who are living the other side of the world. do what you have to do
This guy is like a Busquets on stereoids! Best midfielder of the world, people talking about Bellingham winning Ballon D’or this guy is 10 time la better than him, of course he is older but the influence he has on the pitch just Messi is above.
Busquets was class, he has some unique qualities., but this guy is way better in every department of the game, . I watched both of them almost every game they played. Very rare to see someone as big,tall as Rodri has great touch,technique,and many abilities at the best. Rodri can win games his own , he is not just the best dm atm, but the best player in the world in terms of his quality, individual performances, and team work.
With de jong (assume he play as a DM), Fofana from AS Monaco, & Veerman from PSV, they are great deep playing playmaker that have become rare this days
Very good, don't get me wrong, but he's overrated. Doesn't have Xabi class, Zidane talent, Busquets control, Iniesta quickness, Xavi pass, Kroos precision. Great player, nothing more
the thing is, rodri is not supposed to be any one of those players you mentioned, he is his own player. he is more decisive, calm, quick decisions than any of these great players you mentioned

Is that some disrespect in that Rodri Rice comparison?
ChatGPT?
Rice hasn't operated like a traditional 6 either not since February at the earliest.
Ok Chatgpt
The Best Defensive Midfielder in the world right now !!! COMPLETE !!!! Deserved Baloon D'Or !!!
best player in the last 2 seasons,,,,deserves balon d or ahead of vini n jude tbh(not even a city fan)

Last year forsure he deserved bdor but yeah this year he only won prem… but there is still Euros 🤷🏿♂️

Actually the Best player in the world
Most underrated player
Mate he's getting Ballon D'or shouts. That's the definition of overrated. Would be the weakest winner since Belanov!

Please don't compare to Busquets 😂
@@falsemanager654Busquets was aesthetically pleasing to watch, but you can compare the function they do on the pitch. Also both trained by Guardiola
Busquets was class, he has some unique qualities., but this guy is way better in every department of the game, . I watched both of them almost every game they played. Very rare to see someone as big,tall as Rodri has great touch,technique,and many abilities at the best.
Rodri can win games his own , he is not just the best dm atm, but the best player in the world in terms of his quality, individual performances, and team work.

@@abdirahmanhassan2712Rodri can do a lot, he is amazing, but he won't win the match alone, only Messi could do it
Currently best DM in the world🔥
Your defense is terrified when he's on fire 🔥 😳 😭
The best midfielder in the history 🩵🧠🔝
What drugs are you on?
Not yet at least
I like his confidence 😊
what a player, a complete CDM.
He is wonderful.
imagine him in barca instead of busquets
No
Lol u cant compare 1 euro trophy with back to back euro trophy 😂
@@anubol6808 let's talk about individual perfomance rodri is better ,can win more awards than busqets
Busquets foi melhor seu juvenil
Rodri isn't a better 6 than busquets like he legitimately can't play as a single pivot
With de jong (assume he play as a DM), Fofana from AS Monaco, & Veerman from PSV, they are great deep playing playmaker that have become rare this days
Veerman, je maakt een grap
Fofana is a deep lying playmaker? I thought he was more of a physical type of dm
Imagine if Declan Rice had chosen City, the duo that Rodri and Rice would make
Me lembra o estilo de jogo do PH Ganso na época do santos e São Paulo e do Fluminense em 2022
Deserves the ballon d'or
Basit,sade,su gibi tertemiz oynuyor birazda heyacan katarsa ballon d'or un sahibi
Im a united fan, but in reality, he isn't just the best cdm. He is the best football player in the world.
so good
he is the system
rodri supeclass
Even Messi TODAY AFTER 20 years in top level in that position creates better football
2:18 haland jump
Please let me know first background music name 🙏
The way city plays high depth he feels like he does cm work and dm work more so than like a dm doing dm things and a cm doing cm things
Feel me?
Imagine the stuff we would win if Liverpool had this beast😢

Why Pirlo did not get same credits as Rodri, even if Pirlo was so much better at everything except defence? Nobody told about ballon dor for Pirlo

Joao Marcelo Cruzeiro Defender
If he was white English or white French we would see more lights on him
But he's colored Spanish player unfortunately
I don't see anything extraordinary honestly
Brother this guy had 20+ G/A as a defensive midfielder💀
Is a little xabi just 20% 10% iniesta and more busquets but not better of them
rodri es mejor

Xabi , iniesta, much better .,
And I can say 5 or 6 names in that position in this level ..
Completely different players 😂
rodri > xavi, iniesta
Not ballon d'or material
Overrated
Super super overated
