Manchester City midfielder Rodri has expressed that he feels like a winner even though his team is yet to emerge victorious, all because of the fan support he enjoys.
Rodri is among the favourite contenders to win the 2024 Ballon d’Or. He had an incredible season with City securing the Premier League title and being the key player in the Spanish team to beat England and win the Euro 2024 trophy.
Remarkable Unbeaten Streak
Rodri has been in exceptional form, and the Spanish international has not lost any match in 90 minutes after March 2023. Some of the endorsements made by the pundits are from Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker, due to his consistent performances.
Though, with an aim of twenty-five goals and eleven assists that led Real Madrid to La Liga and the Champions League title, Vinícius Junior is the bookmakers’ choice.
Public Support and Pride to Win Ballon d’Or
In an interview with ESPN, Rodri affirmed his coach’s appreciation of the appreciation given. ‘
‘Even being a part of the discussion makes me feel very proud of the effort I have invested,’’ he said. Rodri also recalled that fans frequently claim that he has what it takes to win the esteemed honour.
“For me, that means I am already a winner. The people that believe I can be the best player in the world and telling me these kinds of things, for me, is incredible,” he continued.
However, Rodri does not look at the competition as a problem, and he is happy that he has been awarded this title as it shows years of hard work.
