One would expect soccer fans to dispute whether Erling Haaland or Lionel Messi is the best player in the world right now. This is due to their trophies and goals from last season. However, a new competitor has emerged as a result of Sky Blues’ outstanding performance in the FIFA Club World Cup. The top player has also been dubbed the best in the world.
This is encouraging news for Manchester City, who are attempting to restore their form in the Premier League title fight. Pep Guardiola would be overjoyed with his team’s performance, which resulted to FIFA Club World Cup victory.
The Manchester City player has received acclaim for his performance in the FIFA Club World Cup
Pep Guardiola’s team easily defeated Brazilian powerhouse Fluminense FC in the FIFA World Cup final. They defeated them 4-0. Manchester City scored seven goals in two Club World Cup matches. Many were impressed by their great midfielder Rodri. The Spanish midfielder’s constant performances demonstrated why he is so important to how the team plays. Sergio Gomez, a club teammate, tweeted a photo with the remark, “Happy to live it and learn at your side.” “The world’s best player.”
This isn’t the first time the Spanish international has been lauded for his efforts. City fans have noticed his value even in games where he does not start. They now appear to be a lesser team. Fans will remember his goal against Inter Milan in the Champions League final last season.
There is also little question that Manchester City’s medical staff will monitor his fitness following his injury in the final. This is due to the team’s poor record without their top midfielder.
Manchester City suffers without Rodri
Rodri’s absence is one of the reasons why the club is currently fourth in the Premier League. Since joining the club in 2019, he has missed only 17 games. However, they have lost ten of their 17 games. However, with him on the squad, the outcome is different. They have only lost 19 games with the Spanish midfielder in his 150 outings.
Manchester City fans will be happy that Rodri has not sustained a major injury. Speaking to the media after the game, he claimed that he cried after the Fluminense defender tackled him.
The return of Kevin De Bruyne will undoubtedly provide a significant boost in the midfield.
