rodri is the engine of every team he is apart of. he brought the first ever champions league to city and hes gotten double digits in goals and assists as a defensive mildfieler last season. hes changing the outlook of cdms, thats why rodri winning the b'dor makes the most sense.

Fair play! brilliant interview by Harty, the questions were well thought out and so natural, like 2 guys talking in a pub! As for Rodri, what a class act! not only the greatest midfielder in the world but also a humble and articulate guy! really enjoyed that.
Balon d'Or 2024 - Rodri Best DM in the world, and has a shout as best Midfielder full stop. Amazing player and a fantastic person. Hope he gets the recognition!
Every footballer should be like Rodri. Doesn’t care about social media, PR or individual awards. Only trying to be the best footballer he could possibly be. Rodri needs to win the ballon d’or to show the next generation how to behave and move the right way.
Of course Rodri cares about individual rewards. He would love to win Balon D'or. I think he deserves it too but I don't understand this weird need people have to put someone on a pedestal like this. We only know him from interviesws and football. He's probably a cool dude and a good guy but come on lol.
Imo rodri best player for the last 3 years It isn't a debate about ballon o dor vini has moments but he had poor games Rodri never has a bad game his bad game is considered decent that's how good he is And he is down to earth and a decent guy too easy to root for him
Agree Rodri should win it but its not fair to compare both players. Its easier to have a 7-8 rating games playing cdm than winger. At winger, you either have 6 or 8-10 rating game, no in between
@@slowtyper95 thats not an argument xD scoring a goal immediately lifts your rating to 7.5+ so theoretically having a good rating is much easier for an attacker then a defender. An also if Rodri would have 20 games with all 8 ratings and vini have 10 with 6 rating + 10 with 10 rating that would still give him a higher average.
He deserves the Balon D'or. His value to Man City is greater than Vini to Real Madrid. Both are the top 2 teams last year and both have an all-star lineup. Ask any of the top 20 teams in Europe who they would rather have, Rodri or Vini, and the majority will choose Rodri!

As a Real Madrid fan but i have to admit it's difficult to not love this player for the way he plays the game and for the way he carries himself as well.. A true living legend of the sport.
he should definitely win it, he was the most consistent player of the last year, vini was practically out for the first half of the season and had a terrible copa america tournament, jude fell of the 2nd half of the season and had an average euros, rodri was amazing throughout the entire season, and you saw what happened to city every time he didnt play
not only because he deserves that baloon d'or for his personal excellence and contribution, but also EPL player doesn't winning any baloon d'or since christiano's, that was more than a decade ago, still can't believe Erling missed that one last time, but for Rodri now in the top conversation, I think it's even more justified for him to won the baloon d'or, he's arguably a very very important player not only for his club but also national team
MUN fan here and what can I say, you guys have such a gem in the form of Rodri… He’s a nice, humble guy with buckets of talent and it’s a pity he suffered this nasty injury so early in the season!
Rodri isn’t just a “defensive midfielder” he’s a big game player who steps up every time, he contributes heavy goals, he’s the heartbeat of the team, that every team has tried to emulate.
Such a great role model. Not caught up in all the BS of fashion and social media. Laser focused on his goals and objectives and keeping the rest out of his life. So awesome.
Usually don’t watch every minute of a long video but I did for this. One of the most likeable, humble and my favourite people in football right now (and I HATE City players)
Maximum respect for you, it cannot be denied that you are one of those who work the most in the recovery genre. I hope one day to be like you in the recovery moves, from Germany I will continue, blessings to all here.
He is absolutely correct in regards to social media and the over use of it today. People forget how they feel in any given moment - as it's more important to film it for everyone else to see.
So not only is he arguably the best player on the planet, he is also articulate, intelligent and apparently humble. I feel quite inadequate lol
