Manchester City ace Rodri has opened up about the influence on his game of manager Pep Guardiola.

Rodri came to City in 2019 as an accomplished midfielder, but has taken his game to another level since.

He is now a key man not only for City, but for his national team Spain as well.

"It is four years that I have been here at City and working with Pep Guardiola and I have had good coaches in the past," said Rodri to World Cup Magazine.

"It seems normal to me now to have him, but of course it is not normal. For sure, he makes history wherever he goes; Barcelona, Bayern and of course here. He has changed the game I think since he came here."

He added: "He [Guardiola] has made me a different player, a top player in the sense of my knowledge of the game, how I have to behave, the role in the team, some aspects that are important in the game.

"He is one of the best and the one thing that most impresses me is that he has won everything. He is still hungry every day, he is demanding every day, doesn't relax and that is something that is impressive."
