Participates in attack and defence and ties the two phases together, good passing accuracy, good ball retention under pressure.

No way this guy is ethnically european

Ball control, press resistance, 1 or 2 touch passes, strong passing range, almost perfect pass accuracy, always offers himself as the free man to his team if they're in trouble, initiates attacks, controls the tempo, has very few weaknesses, is a metronome in the heart of any team's passing engine. What allowed him to become this player was being under Guardiola for many years who also played that same position.

Rodri is an infuriating player to play against because you can never get the ball off him and he always waits until the pressing player is right up close to him before he releases it. After a while they just get demoralised and stop pressing.
