Rodri Backs Arsenal Star to become a ‘one of the best’ players in the world | Football

Rodri has revealed what he said to Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi about his role in the Spanish team.

The winner of Ballon D’Or Rodri and Gunners Summer who signed Zubimendi competed to get a place on the Spanish side.

Zubimendi, 26, who replaced Rodri, 29, after the last was forced to leave with an injury in the Euro 2024 final victory over England.

Liverpool almost signed Zubimendi that summer but he finally spent another season at Real Sociedad before joining Arsenal in July for £ 60 million.

Zubimendi will have a key role to play for Arsenal who pursue the title and Rodri believes that the Gunners have signed players who can be ‘one of the best’ in the world.

Rodri also revealed that he had told Zubimendi that he ‘left the key’ when he walked away from international football.

“He’s a great player,” Rodri said about the signing of Arsenal’s summer. “He has a discipline and mentality that can guide him to be one of the best, if he hasn’t done it.

“I talked to him a few days ago and told him that it was time, that I handed over the key to the team.”

Zubimendi began the Spanish 3-0 World Cup qualifying victory over Bulgaria on Thursday night, with Rodri coming as a substitute for the second half.

Rodri missed most of the last season through injury but Spanish boss Luis de la Fuente confirmed that he was in ‘perfect condition’ to return.

His absence was certainly felt in Manchester City, which failed to achieve the fifth Premier League title that broke the record last season and failed to win any silver.

Rodri won the Ballon d’Or award during injury recovery and said it was’ Fresh Air Breath ‘at a very difficult time’.

“Injury is far more important than Ballon d’Or,” he added.

“It breathed fresh air when I had difficulty. I was happy with his confession. ‘

Rodri began the Manchester City clash against Brighton before international rest but could not prevent the Pep Guardiola team from slipping into defeat 2-1.

The winner of the Spanish Euro will try to make Man City return to the victory of next weekend when Manchester United traveled to the Etihad Stadium.

Arsenal and Zubimendi, meanwhile, returned to action on Saturday afternoon with a home match against Nottingham Forest.
