Rodri: "L. Yamalis is a special player and will win the Ballon d'Or award" © CHINE NOUVELLE/SIPA

"Manchester City” club midfielder Rodri stated to the portal "Cope” that Lamine Yamal will win the "Ballon d’Or” award, the contract extension with the "cityzens” team, songs dedicated to Vinicius, and the game of the "Barcelona” club:

"We are all surprised by "Barca's” level at the start of the season. I’m very happy that so many Spanish players are shining there.

It looks like a team that can do fantastic things. I love watching the Catalans play under Hansi Flick.”

"If I were to talk about the songs for Vinicius, it was a private party, I was just celebrating, and all of this is normal... I have never shown respect to anyone.

I respect Vinicius, the Madrid "Real” club, and everyone else competing for the "Ballon d’Or” award.”

"I haven’t even talked to my team about a new contract yet. I’m injured... Right now, extending the contract with the "cityzens” is not my priority.

I want to recover in the best possible way; that’s my goal... And then we’ll see.”

"Lamine Yamal will win the "Ballon d’Or” award; that’s exactly what I said!

I can’t say whether he will win more than one award or not; we shouldn’t put such heavy pressure on him... But he is special. We felt it from the very first moments.

He has to keep working like that and stay humble.”

Rodri could return to the pitch as early as the end of this season.
