- Not having Rodri is like when Barcelona played without Messi.

Guardiola’s Worries About Not Having Rodri
Pep Guardiola who knows a lot about tactics, was talking about how worried he is that Rodri can’t play. He talked about when he was at FC Barcelona and said its super hard to play good without your best players. This is causing Manchester City lots of problems in the Premier League and other competitions too.
🔵⚠️ Pep Guardiola on injuries: “We’re without Rodri, we miss him… the best player in the world. Imagine our period in Barcelona, Messi was the best player, playing that season without Messi?”.
“Do you think we would win the Treble? I don’t think so”.

Rodri who came to Manchester City for £62.8 million from Atlético Madrid in 2019 is hurt right now and can’t play. The team really misses how good he is at defending and controlling the middle of the field you can see it in recent games. When Guardiola talks about not having Rodri, its like when Barcelona had to play without Messi during their best years.
How Much Rodri Matters and When He’ll Be Back
The team really feels it when Rodri isn’t there, and everyone wants him back to help Manchester City win more games both in England and everywhere else. They need him for big games coming up in the Nations League and Club World Cup. When Guardiola talks about needing players like Rodri it shows how one really good player can make the whole team better.
How Messi Still Changes Things
Everyone still remembers what Messi did at Barcelona where he helped win lots of trophies when Guardiola was in charge. Now he’s at Inter Miami CF and he’s making that team way better and changing how they play. Nobody else can do what he does which proves what Guardiola said about how important really good players are for making teams win.
