In the interview given to COPE, Rodrimidfielder of Manchester City and winner of the last Ballon d’Or, also spoke about his future, with the contract with the English expiring in 2027: “Now with the injury it’s not my priority. I want to recover and we’ll see. I like to live in the present and I have a contract with my club, I feel very comfortable there. I still have a passion for the Spanish championship, but the English one is special. It is a club where I feel very identified, very familiar and I feel very comfortable. I should think a lot before leaving there.”
Does his future depend on Guardiola?
“You want to be surrounded by the best and there will be a before and an after Pep. When I signed they told me that Guardiola was leaving, but he is very ambitious. When he is no longer there, things will change but City will remain City.”
Will Messi and Ronaldo play in the World Cup?
“I’m convinced so.”
Who is the best in the world?
“Messi, even if he is no longer so today. Now the most decisive is Haaland, he is the only one who can come close to these two monsters in numerical terms. Erling is calm, funny, as is Grealish, a great guy. My best friend It’s Kovacic.”
Can Spain win the World Cup?
“Yes, I want it, I believe it and I desire it, but we have goals first, like the Nations League, I already said that winning brings you closer to victory. It is still important to keep the question until we reach the World Cup.”
