Rodri Scout Report
Rodri, currently playing as a Defensive Midfielder for Manchester City in the Premier League, has shown exceptional form this season. Standing out in his role is his exemplary ball retention rate. His superior ability to keep the ball under pressure highlights his technical skills and also contributes to his effective progressive carrying abilities. This characteristic, coupled with his high level of progressive passing, underpins his playing style that involves getting involved in ball movement up the field while ensuring the opponent struggles to regain possession.
Although listed as a Defensive Midfielder, Rodri's ability extends beyond traditional defensive duties, as evidenced by his above-average chance creation. His substantial assists and pass accuracy stats also signify a player capable of directing offensive manoeuvres, which is backed by his substantial goal efficiency.
Defensively, Rodri shines in penalty area defending and boasts a high duel win percentage, showing his strength in one-on-one situations and aerial contests. His ball recovery is also a marked attribute, hinting at his tenacity and work rate on the field.
However, despite his impressive goal efficiency, his goal threat percentile indicates he may not be as lethal in front of the goal. This does not take away much from him, given his primary responsibility within the team's structure lies at the other end of the pitch.
