Rodríguez, now a mature talent at age 30, continues to thrive in the crucible of La Liga with Real Betis. As a defensive midfielder, this hardened Argentine excels at ball recovery and retention, putting him at the forefront of those in his position within the league. His ability to calmly control the ball while under pressure is undoubtedly one of his greatest strengths.
However, Rodríguez isn't all defense; he also poses a significant goal threat. Despite having a relatively low frequency of touches in the attacking third, he utilises his opportunities very effectively, managing a surprising level of goal efficiency.
Yet, it becomes clear he is not much of a creator for others as his chance creation lies on the lower end of the scale. The same goes for his progressive carrying and passing abilities which, for his role, could be better.
Possibly the most overlooked, but arguably one of his most predominant attributes, is his aerial prowess. Rodríguez is truly a force to be reckoned with in duels, consistently coming out on top in both ground and aerial battles. This aptitude, along with his excellent interception rate, contributes to his phenomenal recovery metrics, a testament to his relentless work rate and positioning skills.
However, this intensity comes with a downside - he does have a rather higher yellow card count and foul rate. Nonetheless, Rodríguez is a vital cornerstone for Real Betis. His defensive solidity coupled with opportunistic goal scoring efforts make him a player to look out for. Though not much of an offensive creator, his defensive mastery and unexpected goal potency undeniably compensate for that deficiency.
