The distinctive skills of Rodri have been praised by Manchester City defender Ruben Dias, who has also emphasized his contribution to the team’s recent success.

The Portugal defender, who won three Premier League titles, has been a key component of Manchester City’s recent triumphs. He relocated to the Etihad Stadium a year after midfielder Rodri.

During City’s Premier League, UEFA Champions League, and Emirates FA Cup-winning season last year, both players made over 40 appearances.

Both Dias and Rodri have missed crucial games for Manchester City this season; as a result, Guardiola’s team is currently five points behind Liverpool in the Premier League title chase.

Despite giving up points seven times already this season, City is still very much in the running to capture the league crown for a record-breaking fourth time in a row.

Any Manchester City victory would probably depend heavily on Dias and Rodri, and the 26-year-old recently praised the qualities of the Spain midfielder in an interview.

“There are a lot of lovely things I could say about Rodri, and they would come very easily,” Dias remarked.

“Among the best in his field is him. He possesses both qualities; most number sixes are typically either poor defensively or excellent with the ball at their feet.

He is one of those athletes who, in trying circumstances, rises to the occasion and makes an impression. He is available to you.

“I am confident that he will support me in difficult times. He makes the challenge seem simple. You can be sure he will be there when it counts.

“Until you see a player during a difficult time for the team, you don’t know them.” It’s when talented players are created. I was shaped in that way. You are unable to temporarily close your eyes.
