HAhahahaha, Nice one.... Actually this big players decide trophies, like liverpool can't imagine without Virgil & Salah, Or Man utd in back days with Roy they lost ....
As enjoyable to listen to as he is to watch. No wonder he plays under Pep, another one whose every word you hang on to. Best of luck to Rodri with the injury and congrats on the Ballon d'Or!
I'm really glad and proud of every member of our National Team. Thanks Rodri for all the good moments with Spain and Atleti. You really deserve this Balón de Oro. Get well soon 💪
One of the best player interviews I ever ever seen to be honest. I love Gary's and big meeks interview style learnt so much from rodri in terms of his career and the way he see's football very interesting can't wait for more please get a Fulham player on at some point
Im Not a Man city nor Spain fan, but would honestly say in my opinion and i guess so many others think the same, Rodri is by far the best defensive midfielder in the world right now, he is streets above anyone, he has it all and not many midfielders ever get to his all round level.
Right now he isn't. He's heavily injured. Last season he was by far the best. Right now, he's as useless a midfielder as you or me buddy. And who's to say whether he comes back at the same level. Having 9months or more out of the game, can and has had, a huge impact on players of his standing.
As a fan of a rival club, I’d obvs be well within my rights to wish nothing but bad luck and personal tragedy on a rival player such as Rodri. But I’m going to go against the grain and wish him a speedy recovery. Please acknowledge me showing basic human decency by replying with comments like “Class”, “Respect” and “Thank you from a fan”
Anyone who wishes personal tragedy on person coz they play for a rival football team needs to get a life and stop taking it so seriously - I really do not consider it well within your rights.
I hate city. But I can not ever deny the greatness of Rodri. Absolute class, and an amazing player. Might not like city but I can respect their players and manager.
Clearly a consummate professional & a all round nice talented fella manager of the future no doubt a credit to his family & country simple as that 👍 Real snubbing that presentation was unbelievably spoilt child like behaviour terrible example for a club to put out 🙄
the mans amazing wins ballon dor because he’s that good that man city fall off everest when he’s gone!!!! but why am i so tribalistic and jealous i’m asking why they haven’t had VVD on or Mo Salah who are lighting up the Prem
Crazy to think iniesta Xavi or even busquets never won one and Rodri did. Rodri is a great player but no where near them 3 just shows how dominant Ronaldo and Messi were! Congratulations Rodri, Vini will win one in future no doubt! HALAMADRID
Bro Rodri stole this one, end off, Vini is not gonna win it next year because Real Madrid are not gonna win nothing this year, just like messi stole halland ballon dor last year, halland is not gonna get a chance to win it again because Norway will never win nothing and Man City will never win a treble again, there's many more examples but what I'm saying is that ballon dor is a political trophy, journalist from around Europe decides who win, which they shouldn't even go near it, retired footballers should vote for that, just like ballon dor winners vote for the best young player of the year, maybe I'm talking too much but ballon dor should be best player in Europe and Rodri is not even top 2, nobody looks at Rodri and says wow
Passing is more important than running is a silly expression. Off the ball running is required for passing to work so off the ball running is more important than on the ball running because it is normally faster. But even then the most expensive and important players are the best dribblers so this theory that passing is more important than dribbling does not seem to match reality.
@ he was talking in the context of progressing up the pitch through the midfield and cited the use of box passing training which means that the ball does not always progress faster with passing it is context dependent.

What an absolute gem of an interview!
Articulate, insightful and, most importantly, real! Forget XG, this is true analysis
im sure Rodri respects XG
Love this on a Saturday morning! Thanks guys
Buddy don’t come back this season. Rest fully recover.
- A worried Liverpool fan
Class with a bit of banter!!! Nice
You know football fans are freaks and weirdos when you think his comment is "class" @@Warlun888

It's banter with a bit of class and and I almost chocked from laughing
What an amazing interview. Very thoughtful player! Thanks Gary and Micah!
This interview could have been 24 hours long and I would watch it in its entirety, twice a day...
Agree
he will be a top coach when he retires
As enjoyable to listen to as he is to watch. No wonder he plays under Pep, another one whose every word you hang on to. Best of luck to Rodri with the injury and congrats on the Ballon d'Or!
Oh. Wow. Been looking forward to this, nice one lads!!
Great interview guys more of this please
Such an impressive player/human being
Definitely worth the 3$ a month. Thanks guys
I don’t pay and I’ve listened to the same content… just a few hours later.
Sounds kinda sarcastic
Fantastic interview. Great questions, fascinating responses.
what a beautiful human being
I know there is no reward but I have watched every episode of TRIF. Worth every minutes
I'm really glad and proud of every member of our National Team. Thanks Rodri for all the good moments with Spain and Atleti. You really deserve this Balón de Oro. Get well soon 💪
Great interview, I recently tore my ACL and meniscus and the mental side of really tough. Good to see him doing so well

Enjoyed every minute of this interview. All the best to Rodri. Fantastic human and player.
Really enjoyed this. Lineker is such a good interviewer of elite players.
Rodri is so calm, no nonsense nothing, answers direct , and he really think a lot...
Lovely chat, really enjoyed it!
What a great guy and a great player. Legend in the making 💙
great interview guys!
Micah begging to hold Rodri's ball ;)

yeah football fans really do be like this 😂

Rodri is the best midfielder in the world, whereas vini isn't the best winger, let alone forward in the world. That's why he won it.
Micah is learning from the best! 😅 Great interview! Thanks
what a player! What a gent!
It was the q-finals there was no 2nd round ,England got to the semis of a home tournament with 16 teams and we never hear the end of it ,
Rodris been going on a press tour ever since getting injured
Big meeks love from city fans❤

Come on and make us US again you beautiful bastard the best player in the world.

He will have to go into coaching after playing, surely?!
Why there is a tag for "Members First" while I am watching this without even subscribing the channel ?

Members saw it a day before. Public release happened just now.
Rodri pls Nerf... Come back next year
His English is unreal
Great for a Spaniard
Here from a guardian article
It's been 25 days still these people are trying to explain their Balon D'or scam to people

@@thisisspartaa7910 Started watching football yesterday did ya
@@thisisspartaa7910vini will definitely have another chance 100% how will he not we will start winning again no doubt and Vini is our best player
No way vini it's too late bro... there's Lamine coming, Raphina, saka,Salah, Jude.. bro
Oh we have UEFA mafia thief here
Imagine you are receiving Balon D'or but audience is shouting other player's name
What a disgusting people
Still can’t believe they gave this guy the bdor. Embarrassment to the game
You'll get over it Vini.
This interview out of nowhere, well done guys
Very good player but not in the same class as a Zidane.
Rodri is a legend. He is going to absolutely dominate when he returns... in League 2 LOL
Who asked
We live in a world where Rodri is holding a ballon d’or...
Yeah football fell off man.
Very true Madrid football fell off that's why they're bitten left right center
Ask him if Scotland still leaves rent free in his head?
“You cannot win if you don’t loose. Loosing makes winning better”….Rodri
Lose*.
Becoming dull, too long, waffling, needs editing

Lucky he didn't say that then.
He said the ball moves faster when you pass it than when you run with it, which is factual.
@ he was talking in the context of progressing up the pitch through the midfield and cited the use of box passing training which means that the ball does not always progress faster with passing it is context dependent.
First Like 👍
Gary Lineker got ROBBED! 😮 Saying that in Rodri's face 🤣 Vini jr would love that 👍
Do you often like to read too much into things.
I don't like this guy, I hope they get relagated
I'm sure he's gutted that you don't like him 😂😂
@JenniferCampbell-hs7gz I'm just heading doesn't care, but now you know 😏

Worse winner Ever. He will retire from this now 😂
We can clearly see how city struggling without him
Show me another CDM having over 20 goal involvements without pens in a run for the ballondor in one season
