Pep Guardiola has expressed his disappointment at the omission of Rodri from the Premier League Player of the Season award nominations. Despite his exceptional performances for Manchester City this season, Rodri did not make the cut, with Erling Haaland and Phil Foden being the team’s representatives on the list. Guardiola emphasized Rodri’s importance to the team and praised his extraordinary abilities, reassuring the midfielder not to be concerned about the snub.
Rodri has been a key figure for City this season, leading the league in passes into the final third of the pitch and contributing significantly to goal-creating actions. Defensively, he has the highest combined total of tackles and interceptions in the City squad, showcasing his well-rounded skill set. With an impressive season rating of 7.62/10, Rodri ranks as the second-highest-rated player in the Premier League, highlighting his impact on the team’s success.
Despite his stellar performances and statistical achievements, Rodri’s absence from the Player of the Season award nominations remains a puzzling decision. Guardiola’s support and recognition of Rodri’s contributions serve as a reminder of the midfielder’s value to the team, regardless of individual accolades. As City continues their pursuit of success, Rodri’s role will undoubtedly be crucial in their quest for silverware.
