Declan Rice heaps praise on Manchester City and Pep Guardiola’s key player in the first team squad

Manchester City and their defensive midfielder Rodri have received high praise from Arsenal and England midfielder Declan Rice in recent interviews.

These top-class midfielders will face off in the Premier League this weekend, with both teams vying for a win to solidify their status as title contenders for the remainder of the season.

After a narrow 1-0 loss to Manchester City earlier in the season, Pep Guardiola’s side has regained form and is seen as a potential threat to other clubs with their winning streak.

Rice and his Arsenal teammates are determined to put up a fight, but the midfielder isn’t afraid to acknowledge the talent of his opponents, including Rodri.

In an interview with The Telegraph, Rice praised Manchester City as the best team globally, despite Arsenal’s current success.

According to Rice, “There’s no doubt that Man City are the best team in the world at the minute,” as they prepare to face off in the Premier League.

Rice also discussed his inspirations in defensive midfield, highlighting Rodri as one of the best in the world.

He admires Rodri’s ability to connect the team from defense to attack and dominate the middle of the pitch.

Rodri has been a key player for Manchester City since joining from Atletico Madrid, cementing his place as a crucial part of the team’s success.

His contributions have been vital in Manchester City’s trophy wins since his arrival in 2019, solidifying his position as a top defensive midfielder.
